Abilities

Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.

PASSIVE SEARING BRILLIANCE

Whenever Mel uses an ability, she gains three bonus projectiles (up to nine maximum) on her next attack. When Mel deals damage through an ability or attack, she applies Overwhelm, which can stack infinitely. If the enemy is hit by Mel with enough Overwhelm damage, the stacks are consumed to execute the target.

1 RADIANT VOLLEY

Mel fires a barrage of projectiles that explode around a target location, dealing damage repeatedly to enemies within the area.

2 REBUTTAL

Mel forms a barrier around herself that reflects enemy projectiles back at the attacker, prevents her from taking damage, and grants her movement speed.

3 SOLAR SNARE

Mel fires a radiant orb forward, dealing damage and slowing enemies within range, while rooting those at its center.

ULTIMATE GOLDEN ECLIPSE

Mel strikes all enemies marked with Overwhelm regardless of their distance from her, dealing additional damage for each stack of Overwhelm. Ranks of Golden Eclipse increase Overwhelm's damage.
