Read from Lulu's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Rell.
This is Lulu's own plan; across 8,433 pooled games the lane is leaning Rell.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lulu | Level 1 you out-poke a slow, melee engage support with no ranged threat. |
| Level 2 | Lulu | Level 2 you win because her only engage, the W dash, is easy to Whimsy. |
| Level 3 | Lulu | Level 3 stays yours as disengage answers her short-cooldown lockdown attempt. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lulu | Levels 4-5 Whimsy and slows keep neutralizing her W-E engage. |
| Level 6 | Lulu | Level 6 favors you since Wild Growth peels her R pull off your ADC. |
| First item | Lulu | At first item your sustain out-cycles her single long-cooldown all-in. |
| Two+ items | Lulu | With two items her low DPS can't break your shields and peel. |
Levels 1-2 you're ahead: Rell's dismounted stance is slow and her only engage is the W dash, which you can Whimsy or slow on reaction. Poke with Pix and Glitterlance while she can't reach you, respect the level-2 W all-in, and keep your ADC behind the wave. Her dismounted stance is slow and her only engage is a readable dash, so poke her freely while it is unavailable. Anchor Pix to your ADC and let the bonus damage accumulate. Hold the polymorph for the moment the dash lands, and push the wave so she has more ground to cover the next time.
