Mel, the Soul's Reflection, is a ranged mage and support champion. In fights Mel is a fragile champion who deals magic damage in bursts. Here are the augments Mel players take most, the Prismatic items worth grabbing and the core build on patch 26.20.
When you damage a champion from far away, fire a Trueshot Barrage at them.
Radiant Volley (Q) and Solar Snare (E) both hit from long range, so your poke regularly triggers extra Trueshot Barrages without you stepping into danger.
Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.
Radiant Volley (Q) and Solar Snare (E) deal much of your damage, so letting your abilities critically strike raises your burst.
Gain Ability Haste equal to 20% Ability Power.
More Ability Haste lets you cast Radiant Volley (Q) and Solar Snare (E) more often, stacking more Overwhelm and charging more Searing Brilliance (Passive) projectiles for your attacks.
In game, Hexgate puts a badge under every augment card you are offered, with how often Mel players take it.
