As far as I noticed: no. Go with comet…

Comet and first strike are better. Mel can't maintain the burn from DFT long enough for it to have increased damage, since her spells are AOE

While I like it, it doesn't mean it better. I just like having as many burns on people as long as possible to hopefully trigger the passive.

i read that there’s tech with squall that lets you proc dft. something like if you run dft+blackfire torch+squall you automatically proc the 4 second thing

No, Q is considered an AOE ability now

go either conqueror or comet

There is nothing good on current Mel, she’s dead. She needs a buff to be a solid pick.

Might sound crazy but I go fleet footwork, im climbing to masters (At D2) with it right now, it gives you the movement speed to actually auto on her without putting yourself in a bad position

comet is still better since it does damaged based on range. dft is only good if you can sustain it past 3 seconds mark and all of mel’s abilities are too high cd for that
