Early game (levels 1–5)

Rell wants to walk up and crash in with W Ferromancy, but you hold W Steadfast Presence and cancel the dash the moment she commits, then knock her away or E Heroic Charge her into a wall. Shove with Q Hammer Shock to keep her off CS and chip with P Iron Ambassador poke while her only threat is a telegraphed dash you already answer. Her dismounted form is slow and clunky, so short trades favour you as long as you don't stand next to a wall for her E stun.
