Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1BlitzcrankLevel 1 is yours because Rell is immobile and can't escape your grab threat.
Level 2BlitzcrankLevel 2 stays yours as your grab-Overdrive all-in beats her before her W charge exists.
Level 3Even / skillLevel 3 evens out once Ferromancy gives her a committed dismount-charge engage.
Levels 4-5Even / skillLevels 4-5 are a skill wash decided by who lands their committed engage first.
Level 6Even / skillLevel 6 stays even because her point-blank Magnet Storm can be pre-empted by your grab or disengage.
First itemEven / skillAt first item it's skill-even as her tank engage trades against your single-target pick.
Two+ itemsEven / skillBy 2+ items it remains a skill duel where her chain-CC frontline and your pick threat cancel out.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1 and 2 belong to you. Rell is one of the slowest, most immobile supports before her level-3 W, so she can't dodge your Rocket Grab or escape the follow-up, and your level-2 grab-Overdrive-knockup all-in can outright win the lane. Play up, threaten hook every time she steps for a minion, and try to force her Flash or a bad recall.
