Mel Medarda, Ambessa's daughter from Arcane, will make her debut in League of Legends on January 23, 2025, with Patch 25.S1.2. She represents the first new champion of 2025 and continues the trend of Arcane characters joining Riot Games' titles, following Silco in TFT and Ambessa in League.

While fans initially expected Mel to be a support champion based on her portrayal in Arcane season two, she is designed as a mid lane champion with high burst damage potential. Her kit maintains the signature projectile reflection ability from the show as her W ability, though she lacks significant mobility options.

The champion's release aligns with League's new three-season format for 2025, with the first season themed around Noxus. Mel was prominently featured in the 2025 cinematic, setting up both her arrival and hinting at future Runeterra content.

Players can expect potential balance adjustments following her release, as is common with new champion launches. For detailed information about her abilities and playstyle, players can review her complete kit details before her January 23 release date.
