Rell becomes particularly vulnerable when she's dismounted, making her an easy target for harassment. Exploit this window by playing aggressively and poking her down, as she'll have limited defensive options.

Key strategies when facing Rell:

  • Maintain distance and poke aggressively when she approaches
  • Take advantage of her dismounted state for harass
  • Avoid clustered positioning to counter her Ultimate
  • Save CC abilities to interrupt her engage attempts
  • Watch for her E stun combo with engage champions

Power spike awareness:

  • Level 1: Harass heavily before she reaches level 2
  • Level 6: Be cautious of her Ultimate's engage potential
  • Mobility Boots: Track her roaming attempts

Strong counters:

  • Taric
  • Vel'Koz
  • Janna
  • Poppy
  • Pantheon

Poor matchups:

  • Sona
  • Soraka
  • Swain
  • Senna
  • Galio

Communication is essential when Rell roams, as she can impact other lanes significantly. Coordinate with your team to track her movements and prevent successful ganks.

For optimal positioning, fight in open areas where your team can spread out, reducing the effectiveness of her Ultimate and engagement tools.

Hold defensive abilities until Rell commits to an engage, then use CC to counter her initiation attempts. This will leave her vulnerable and allow your team to focus her down effectively.
