Magic Resist
Items with magic resistance can help you to survive against MEL combo.
Mercury's Treads
Reduces Magic Damage +200 Max Health +50% Health Regen +20 Magic Resistance +45 Move Speed. 900
Mercury's Treads TIPS: These boots are a core defensive choice when the enemy deals strong magic damage. They increase your magic resistance, boost health regeneration and movement speed, and help you stay in lane or fights longer against poke and burst mages. Pick them when you need greater survivability versus AP-heavy matchups or repeated spell damage.
Force of Nature
Stacking Magic Resist and Move Speed +350 Max Health +60 Magic Resistance
Storm: +5% Move Speed.
Absorb: Taking ability damage from enemy champions grants 1 stack(s) of Steadfast for 7 seconds, max 4 stacks. Receiving damage from an enemy Champion will refresh the duration of the stacks. At maximum stacks, gain 10% Movement Speed and reduce all incoming magic damage by 25%. 2750
Force of Nature TIPS: This item provides a substantial boost to health and magic resistance, and its “Absorb” passive stacks up when you take ability damage from enemy champions, reducing all incoming magic damage and granting bonus movement speed at max stacks. It’s perfect for tanks who need to withstand teams heavy in magic damage and maintain mobility to be in the right position during fights. Pick this up when the enemy team builds magic damage (e.g., Syndra, Brand) and you need extra movement speed to initiate effectively or escape dangerous situations.
Maw of Malmortius
Converts damage from attacks into a magic shield +55 Attack Damage +45 Magic Resistance +10 Ability Haste
Lifeline: Upon taking Magic Damage that would reduce your Health to below 35%, gain +10% Omni Vamp. until the end of combat and a magic shield that absorbs 220-530 Magic Damage for 3s. (90s Cooldown) 3000
Maw of Malmortius TIPS: This item provides a mix of damage, magic resistance and ability haste, but its core value is the anti-burst passive: when hit by a dangerous burst of magic damage, you instantly gain a strong protective shield and a temporary lifesteal/omnivamp effect that lasts through the fight. It lets you survive big AP detonations and re-enter skirmishes quickly. Best for assassins, bruisers and AD champions who need to survive enemy magic burst and power through fights.
Abyssal Mask
Reduces the Magic Resist of nearby enemies and increases yours +400 Max Health +55 Magic Resistance +10 Ability Haste
Unmake: Curse enemy champions within 600 units, reducing their Magic Resist by 5 plus 1.2% bonus, up to 25 Magic Resist. For each enemy champion cursed, gain 9 bonus Magic Resist. 3000
Abyssal Mask TIPS: This item is a solid anti-magic pickup: it boosts your magic resistance while reducing the magic resist of nearby enemies, making them easier to shred with spell damage. Great for tanks and frontliners who need to both soak magic damage and amplify their team’s ability to take down AP threats and durable targets.
Hollow Radiance
Deals damage in an area +400 Max Health +40 Magic Resistance +15 Ability Haste
Immolate: While in combat, deal magic damage equal to 20–30 plus 1% of bonus per second for 5 second(s) to nearby enemies. Deals 125% damage against monsters and 200% damage against minions.
Desolate: Killing a neutral monster or an enemy deals magic damage equal to 30 plus 2% of bonus in an area around them. 2800
Hollow Radiance TIPS: This item turns you into a steady source of pressure in fights: while engaged, it emits an area magic damage aura that helps clear waves and punish nearby small targets. On killing a neutral or enemy, it detonates for area damage, making it great for fast clears and threat creation when entering skirmishes. Perfect for tanks and frontline bruisers who need to hold the center of fights and force opponents into mistakes.
Cleanse or Block Spells
Items with ability or property to cleanse or block negative spells.
Stasis Enchant
Turn invulnerable
Stasis (Active): Become invulnerable and untargetable for 2.5 seconds, but unable to move, attack, cast abilities or use items. (120s Cooldown) 1000

Blocks an enemy ability +60 Ability Power +7% Magic Penetration +200 Max Mana +20 Ability Haste
Safeguard: Grant a spell shield that blocks the next hostile ability, reduce incoming damage by 40% for 1s (40s Cooldown).
Poise: AP increases by 20 while Safeguarded. Dealing magic damage to enemy champions using an active ability reduces Safeguard's cooldown by 4s. 3000

Watch here!Mel Medarda is the presumed heir of the Medarda family, once one of the most powerful in Noxus. In appearance she is a graceful aristocrat, but beneath the surface lies a skilled politician who makes it her business to know everything about everyone she meets. After an encounter with the mysterious Black Rose, Mel discovered the depths of her mother's deception and, for once, faced a situation potentially beyond her control. With newly awakened magical abilities, she sailed home in search of answers—and though many still seek to temper the light within her, Mel's soul remains forever defiant.
