| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Karma | Level 1 your Q poke outranges Rell's slow, telegraphed engage. |
| Level 2 | Karma | At 2 your Q plus E poke punishes her before she can commit W. |
| Level 3 | Karma | Level 3 you keep chipping her while dodging the mounted charge. |
| Levels 4-5 | Karma | Through 4-5 her readable engage keeps the lane in your favor. |
| Level 6 | Rell | Her level 6 R pull into W crash and E stun flips the all-in to Rell. |
| First item | Rell | First tank item lets her survive your poke and force engages. |
| Two+ items | Karma | With two items your empowered poke and shields win the long fight back for you. |
Levels 1-4 favor you: Rell's mounted W (Ferromancy: Mount Up) is a slow, readable engage, so sit behind your caster minions and chip her with Q (Inner Flame) plus Gathering-Fire autos while keeping E (Inspire) shielding ready for her one committed dismount.
