| Level 3 | Mel | At 3 Rebuttal can turn your full combo back on you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Mel | Through 4-5 she farms safely and punishes every predictable cast. |
| Level 6 | Mel | Her level 6 doesn't help you - Final Spark is exactly what Rebuttal reflects. |

| Two+ items | Mel | Late, her execute R and reflect W punish your immobile, telegraphed kit all game. |
Mel starts ahead: her Radiant Volley pokes from range and the mere threat of Rebuttal means you can't freely fire Q or E without risking it being reflected into your own face.
