Read from Hwei's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Rell.
This is Hwei's own plan; across 2,398 pooled games the lane is leaning Rell.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | You reach 2 first and outrange sustain-less Rell, poking her down before she can engage. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | At 2 your burst punishes her short range and she has no heal to recover the trades. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | By 3 it's nominally skill as Rell gains W engage, but her lack of sustain keeps you comfortable. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay a coin-flip on her W timing, though your poke advantage persists. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | Your level-6 R gate and E stun disengage Rell's all-in, reasserting your control. |
| First item | Hwei | Into first item your compounding poke keeps Rell too low to force any engage. |
| Two+ items | Hwei | By 2+ items your layered CC and zone wall off Rell's engage entirely and you kite her out. |
You dominate 1-2: Rell has no sustain and short range, so your Q bolts and W zone chunk her freely while she can't trade back before her W is up. She has no sustain and short reach, so poke her off the wave freely while your carry farms. Choose the subject before her engage rather than after. Keep enough mana to answer the charge when it comes, and take the early levels while her kit is still incomplete.
