How to beat Rell as Lux: the early game

Levels 1-2 favor you comfortably: Rell's only engage is the slow Crash Down, which you sidestep on reaction, and she has no poke to contest your Q. Sit at max range, land Light Binding when she creeps up, and E to zone, keeping her and her ADC chipped. Her engage is slow enough to sidestep, so keep moving and answer with the zone rather than trading. Hold the root for the moment she commits her charge, and shield your carry on the landing rather than the approach, since that is when the damage actually arrives.
