The magic damage that Mel deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Hwei deals primarily magic damage (93.17%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Mel is higher farming statistics (ranked 11th among role champions) (versus 29th for Hwei), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Mel player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Hwei player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
