How to win lane as Camille against Mel · 56.27% win rate over 391 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You have one ability and no gap-closer at level 1 while she pokes from range — last-hit from the edge, let your passive shield soak a magic hit, and don't get chipped out before E. |
| Level 2 | Camille | Your second point unlocks the E wall-grapple dash and stun into Q-Q — the first window her ranged Q can't answer once you're in melee on her. |
| Level 3 | Camille | Full early kit with W online: E-stun, W outer-edge max-HP slash with heal, and the true-damage Q recast out-trade anything she can poke for. |
| Levels 4-5 | Camille | Your Q rank-ups amplify the true-damage second hit and she still has no dash to escape — hold E for when her snare is down and run short trades. |
| Level 6 | Camille | Hextech Ultimatum seals her in a 1v1 and kills the range her whole kit needs; leap to dodge her snare, then her squishy body folds. |
| First item | Camille | Sheen/Trinity makes your Q2 reset and wall dives lethal — force every all-in here before her AP items come online and out-range you. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | She reclaims the window at full build: a fed AP Mel kites and bursts you before E connects and can R-reflect your dive, so end the game before two items matter. |
Mel pokes from range with her Q and you have no gap-closer until level 2, so don't walk into her auto-Q range to land a melee Q — last-hit from the edge, let your passive shield eat one magic hit, and accept a little chip. Once you hit level 2 the lane flips hard: E grapples the wall behind her and dashes in for the stun, then the empowered Q recast lands the true-damage burst. She has no dash, no point-blank peel beyond her W/E zone, and a squishy body, so every time your Hookshot is up she has to play for her life.
