Player Tip
Useful in-game noteWith Melissa, your job is not to chase kills early. Stay alive, reach item timing, then hit the closest safe target in team fights. After Swift Boots, Corrosion Scythe you can start playing more confidently. In gold lane, dying once before core items can ruin your tempo, so play boring if enemy roam is missing. Be careful against burst assassins, hard crowd control. If enemies pick Vexana, Xavier, avoid ego fights and wait for team setup.

When to Pick
- Your team has a strong frontline
- Enemy lacks hard dive
- You can safely reach 2-3 core items
- You want a Marksman who can play Gold Lane because it needs farm and scales with items.
Avoid Picking When
- Enemy has multiple dive assassins
- Your team has no frontline
- You are forced to first-pick into unknown counters
Advanced Tips
- Play Melissa around the strongest timing of the Marksman role.
- Watch the minimap before forcing fights.
- Save escape or control skills for enemy dive.
- Win fight → take turret, Turtle/Lord, or enemy jungle. Do not chase forever.
- Use Melissa when the enemy key escape or control skill is already used.
- Do not fight randomly before objectives; prepare vision and cooldowns first.
- After winning a fight, take turret, Turtle, Lord, or enemy jungle instead of chasing too far.
