Battle Tactics & Pro Tips

1. Move Mektul Away from the Lava
Pull him further up the lane early on. The more time you create between lava and your current position, the more chances you get to stop and burst.

2. Dodge Toward, Not Away
Most of Mektul's attacks are telegraphed. Dodging toward him, rather than away, keeps you in his melee range, minimizing downtime between dodging and attacking.

3. Save Mobility Cooldowns for Lava Waves
When he enters his Magma Walk phase, use your movement skills (Leap Slam, Dash, Whirling Blades) to bypass stalagmites and cheap POE 2 Exalted Orbs reposition. This is a DPS downtime phase- survival is key here.
