A level-by-level game plan for Mel vs Cassiopeia.
Levels 1-2
This is a 2v2 lane — coordinate cooldowns with your support instead of forcing solo plays.
- Mel should poke with your range advantage and avoid trading autos in melee range.
- Cassiopeia likely outranges you — approach through minion wave cover instead of walking in.
- OP.GG data flags Mel as a strong counter to Cassiopeia in this role — you can afford to lean into trades early.
Levels 3-5
Auto-attack trading depends on who has priority — respect the enemy support's engage range.
- Farm from range and punish any hard engage with your full combo before they close the gap.
- Expect poke whenever you're out of position; punish only after they use their combo.
Level 6
Your power spike or the enemy jungler's first big gank usually decides who wins the lane.
- Your ultimate usually adds burst or CC that turns pokes into kills — look for the window.
- Their ultimate usually adds burst or CC — don't sit still in their range once it's up.
Levels 7-11
Positioning in skirmishes around dragon matters as much as lane CS now.
- Wave clear lets you control the lane state; push to roam or freeze to bait a dive.
- Watch for wave clear into a fast roam — don't get caught alone in a side lane.
Levels 12-15
Your item spike decides your teamfight impact from here.
- Your core item spikes here — you should threaten kills from well outside melee range.
- Burst items make them a one-combo kill threat on squishies — use minions or terrain as cover.
Level 16+
You're a primary damage source in every fight — target selection matters most.
- You're a primary damage source from range — play from the back and burst priority targets.
- Focus them first in teamfights if you can reach them — they melt fast but hit hard if ignored.
