Read from Nami's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Rell.
This is Nami's own plan; across 5,890 pooled games the lane is leaning Rell.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nami | Level 1 your ranged E out-harasses Rell's melee no-sustain kit. |
| Level 2 | Nami | At 2 your bubble hard-checks her W-charge engage. |
| Level 3 | Nami | Level 3 your poke war keeps her chunked before she can commit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Rell | Levels 4-5 flip as her W (Mount Up) dive becomes reliable. |
| Level 6 | Rell | Level 6 Magnet Storm (R) gives Rell a pull-in CC chain you must respect. |
| First item | Rell | Her first tank item makes her engage too durable to punish on the poke. |
| Two+ items | Nami | In 2+ item fights your peel and sustain out-value her spent CC burst. |
Levels 1-3 favor you hard: Rell is melee with no ranged poke or sustain, so your E bounce and W (Tidecaller's Blessing) chip her freely while a level-2 bubble stun-checks her W-charge engage. Hold your ADC out of dash range and win the sustain war outright. She is melee with no poke and no sustain, so bubble the approach and the exchange is over before it starts. Empower your carry's autos while her engage is unavailable, and keep the heal bouncing rather than spending mana on chip you could have avoided.
