League of Legends – Mel Medarda

Mel Medarda is the presumed heir of the Medarda family, once one of the most powerful in Noxus. In appearance, she is a graceful aristocrat, but beneath the surface lies a skilled politician who makes it her business to know everything about everyone she meets. After an encounter with the mysterious Black Rose, Mel discovered the depths of her mother's deception and, for once, faced a situation potentially beyond her control. With newly awakened magical abilities, she sailed home in search of answers—and though many still seek to temper the light within her, Mel's soul remains forever defiant.

  • Passive – Searing Brilliance: Whenever Mel uses an Ability, she gains three bonus projectiles on her next Attack, up to nine maximum. When Mel deals damage through an Ability or Attack, she applies Overwhelm, which stacks up damage to execute the enemy. If the enemy is hit by Mel with enough Overwhelm damage to kill them, the stacks are consumed executing them.
  • Q – Radiant Volley: Mel fires a barrage of projectiles that explode around a target location, dealing damage repeatedly to enemies within the area.
  • W – Rebuttal: Mel gains Move Speed, forms a barrier around herself that reflects enemy projectiles back at the attacker, and prevents taking damage.
  • E – Solar Snare: Mel fires a radiant orb, Rooting enemies in the center while dealing damage over time and Slowing in an area around it.
  • R – Golden Eclipse: Mel strikes all enemies marked with Overwhelm regardless of range, dealing additional damage for each stack of Overwhelm. Ranks of Golden Eclipse increase Overwhelm's damage.
