2. ✨ Passive: Soul Reflection
· When Mel deals damage to an enemy champion with a basic attack or skill, she leaves a mark on them. This mark lasts for 5 seconds and is refreshed by dealing additional damage.
· This mark stores accumulated damage on the enemy, much like filling a bomb with gunpowder. More damage can be accumulated through basic attacks and skills.
· Execution Condition: If the accumulated damage exceeds the enemy's current health and shield, the enemy is immediately executed. This execution possibility can be checked by an indicator above the enemy's head.
· Secondary Passive: Each time a skill is used, Mel gains up to 3 stacks. Basic attacks consume stacks to deal additional magic damage. All stacks are consumed with one basic attack.

5. 💡 Key Tips for Playing Mel Medarda
· Mel is not an instant burst damage champion, but rather a champion who grows stronger by accumulating stacks over time.
· She shines in prolonged fights, and it's crucial to build up enough stacks with multiple attacks before using her ultimate.
· Pre-engagement Poking: Combine Skill 3 and Skill 1, and if possible, weave in basic attacks to deal as much magic damage as possible to set up for your ultimate.
· Utilizing Skill 2: Skill 2 (Golden Aegis) is extremely important for blocking or reflecting enemy ultimates or crowd control skills. Using it at the right time can determine victory or defeat.
· Positioning: Mel is vulnerable to ganks due to her lack of mobility. Taking a bad position in team fights can lead to easy deaths, so always maintain a safe position.
