Get Mel, The Soul's Reflection for Free in Limited-time League of Legends Event

Mel Medarda has officially arrived to the Summoner's Rift, after Riot Games announced her during her cinematic trailer and showed her partially off in the first Dev Blog of 2025. A powerful mage with a brand-new unique mechanic added to the game, she's become the host of the 200 years of experience meme (as does every new champion that releases).

As the first champion released during League of Legends' refocusing and new approach to the title, Mel's release has been highly anticipated. Due to the restructure of the way that seasons are being done, she will be one of three champions to release throughout 2025, as the lore takes us to the events after Arcane and what we can expect with the in-development Noxus show.

However, those aren't the only news surrounding Mel's release: a brand-new activity is available as part of her release, giving players the opportunity to save themselves the 7800 Blue Essence that it costs to get newly released champions. An active quest lets players unlock Mel, The Soul's Reflection, for free for a limited time, and all you have to do is play a bit and complete two requirements.

The first requirement is to deal 50,000 magic damage to champions. This should be relatively easy to do, as either playing magic-damage-dealing champions or even others will get you the progress you need to complete it eventually (since there's a lot of AP incorporated into every kit). The second, however, will take a bit more conscious effort: you need to prevent 10,000 damage on allies with Shields, meaning that players who want to unlock Mel for free will need to succumb to support for a while.

Once completed, players will get the Mel Champion Permanent in their Crafting section, where you can unlock her for free. If you have already unlocked her, you can also disenchant it for 3900 BE if you were too impatient to play the missions to acquire her.

It is unknown whether this will be commonplace with champions releasing moving forward, but it seems like a great way to ensure that the never-ending grind for new players is halted drastically as League of Legends continues to grow in champions year after year. If you want to unlock Mel for free, you have until the 4th of February to do so.
