How to Beat Mel as Seraphine (Support)

The Seraphine versus Mel matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Seraphine deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Mel deals primarily magic damage (89.40%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Mel, ranking 6th (versus 14th for Seraphine) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.1 versus 2.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Seraphine Support versus Mel Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Seraphine player to maintain constant pressure on Mel, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Playing Against Mel

  • Mel can reflect enemy projectiles, including powerful spells. Wait until she casts Rebuttal before throwing powerful projectiles her way.
  • The more Mel hits you, the more Overwhelm stacks she applies. If your health drops too low her next hit will kill you, so back off for a couple seconds to let the Overwhelm stacks fall off.
