Read from Taric's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Rell.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Rell | Rell's level-1 dash-engage threat and armor shred let her pressure the opening. |
| Level 2 | Rell | At level 2 her Ferromancy crash into Shattering Strike knockup outpaces your single-point heal. |
| Level 3 | Rell | Level 3 keeps the initiative with Rell as her engage combo stays ahead of your sustain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Rell | Through level 4 her burst-engage still beats your not-yet-online heal chain. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 5 evens to a skill check: dodge her dash and you win the trade, eat it and she does. |
| First item | Taric | Your Cosmic Radiance hard-counters her all-in and first-item stats out-sustain her, tipping level-6 to you. |
| Two+ items | Taric | In 2+ item fights your ult immunity and peel neutralize her engage entirely, so you stay ahead. |
Levels 1-4 favor Rell: her Ferromancy dash-crash into a knockup and armor shred is a genuine kill combo, and with an ADC following up she can end your carry before your sustain is online. This is the reason the matchup is slightly losing overall, so hug the wide side, body-block her dash with minions, and don't contest CS inside her engage range. Play to not get crashed on. Her engage is slow and readable, so link your carry beforehand and let her commit into it. Hold the stun for the landing rather than the approach, and let the empowered autos turn a survived knock-up into the exchange your side actually wins.
