How to win lane as Rell against Nami · 52.27% win rate over 2,990 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nami | Nami's level-1 Bubble and E empower let her poke and punish your engage attempts. |
| Level 2 | Nami | At level 2 her Bubble plus empowered auto-trade out-damages your W-Q window. |
| Level 3 | Rell | Level 3 your bulk tanks her poke and you out-engage her downed Bubble. |
| Levels 4-5 | Rell | Levels 4-5 she has no hard disengage, so you threaten every cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Rell | At 6 your R starts fights her Bubble can't peel. |
| First item | Rell | First item you keep walking through poke to land W-Q. |
| Two+ items | Nami | Very late her R Tidal Wave and enchanter scaling swing fights back to her. |
Nami owns the first two levels: her Bubble is a long crowd-control that interrupts your W engage, and her E empower plus poke let her ADC out-trade yours if you step up carelessly. Respect her Q cooldown early, soak safely, and don't force an all-in into an up Bubble because getting caught mid-dash loses the exchange.
