Overview

This is a classic 'Artillery vs. Vanguard' matchup where spacing is everything. Rell wants to find a single decisive engage to burst you, while you want to poke her down from long range and use your CC to negate her dive. If you maintain your distance, you can poke her out of lane, but one mistake with your positioning leads to a grey screen.

Trading Patterns

Safe Poke

Use from max range to slow her, then follow up with a double-cast and a auto.

Punish

When Rell misses , she is stuck in a slow, dismounted form. Hit her with to root her and follow up with full damage while she can't reach you.

All-in

Cast through your ADC to extend the range onto Rell, follow up with for the stun, and finish with double and Ignite.

Respect

•
Jump — If she lands the knockup, her ADC will follow up and likely kill you before you can move.
•
Shield Break — It removes your shield entirely, meaning you cannot rely on it to bait trades.
•
Speed — She can run you down even if you have a range advantage if your is on cooldown.
•
Flash-Ult Combo — It is an instant, unreactable engage that can pull you into her tower or into her ADC's range.

Punish

•
Miss — Harass her with everything you have; she is the slowest champion in the game while dismounted.
•
Level 1 — She is melee and has zero threat; use and autos to get her to 50% health early.
•
Down — Your is now safe to use for a trade since she cannot break the shield.
•
She is dismounted — Use on her; her reduced movement speed makes her an easy target for a root or stun.

Wave Management

Early

Let the wave push toward you slightly. This makes her engage riskier as she has to dive closer to your tower.

Post-6

Keep the wave neutral. Pushing too hard makes you vulnerable to her run-down, but being under tower makes you a target for her dive.
