Read from Soraka's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Rell.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — Rell has no ranged poke and can't reach you. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill-based while she lacks a reliable gap-close. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 remains even as you out-range her point-blank kit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are still a wash before her engage and tank stats come online. |
| Level 6 | Rell | Level 6 favors Rell: Magnet Storm pulls your backline for a follow-up your Wish can't prevent. |
| First item | Rell | First item favors Rell as her W-into-E lockdown outlasts your heal-per-tick. |
| Two+ items | Rell | At 2+ items Rell stays ahead — tanky repeated engages beat reactive Soraka healing. |
Levels 1-4 are even: Rell in her horse-mount form has no ranged threat and her Shattering Strike (Q) only hits point-blank, so you dictate range, poke with Starcall, and heal freely while she can't engage cleanly. Her engage is slow and readable, so land the star freely while it is on cooldown. Keep the silence for the moment she commits her charge rather than spending it on chip, and hold the wave near your side so her approach stays long enough to answer.
