Read from Yuumi's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Rell.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yuumi | Lvl 1 your attached Q out-ranges Rell's melee-only engage. |
| Level 2 | Yuumi | At Lvl 2 you zone and poke her slow walk-up freely. |
| Level 3 | Yuumi | Lvl 3 she still has no ranged answer to your Q harass. |
| Levels 4-5 | Rell | By 4-5 her W-dash-into-E stun combo overpowers your shields. |
| Level 6 | Rell | Her Lvl 6 Magnet Storm drags your backline in and defines fights. |
| First item | Rell | First-item tankiness makes her engage reliable and your poke moot. |
| Two+ items | Rell | Late, one landed lock-down chain commits the fight for Rell. |
You hold the opening three levels comfortably. Rell is a slow, melee engage tank with no ranged poke, so from attachment you can pelt her with Q and zone her off your ADC's farm. Keep your carry spaced out of her W dash and abuse the fact that she can't answer your harass — build the early lead here because it doesn't last. Her engage is slow and readable, so stay attached and keep the heal-speed for the moment she commits. Aim the missile at her while the charge is on cooldown, and let your carry farm freely in the long windows where she cannot reach either of you.
