How to beat Rell as Braum: the early game

Level 1 is even skill since neither of you wants to commit, but from 2 onward Rell's Crash Down knockup and W stun give her the stronger engage, and your slow Q plus setup-reliant stun can't contest her all-in, so play back and punish her cooldowns. Level one is even and level two is not, so use the first wave to set the shield habit and let your ADC farm. Hold your body between her charge and your carry. Mark her only once her engage is spent, and let your ADC turn a survived knock-up into the trade you win.
