Playing as Rell

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Crash down from your mount

    Engage with Ferromancy: Crash Down (W), which knocks enemies into the air where you land and shields you until you remount.

  2. Shattering Strike on a shield

    Save Shattering Strike (Q) for a shielded target: the strike breaks all their shields and stuns every unit in the line.

  3. Pull, then crash down

    Cast Magnet Storm (R) in the middle of them, then Ferromancy: Crash Down (W) on top of them, so the enemies you just pulled in take a knock-up.

  4. Charge with the ally who engages

    Cast Full Tilt (E) on the ally engaging with you: you both gain move speed, doubled toward enemies, and your next auto explodes.

Playing against Alistar

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his Headbutt

    Take a trade right after his Headbutt (W): without it, he can't engage from range, and its cooldown is 14 to 10 seconds.

  2. Watch who can follow him

    Back off when his carry is close enough to follow him, and play hard when they're far away: an Alistar engage only kills if someone follows up.

  3. Respect his level 2

    Once he hits level 2, stay out of Headbutt (W) range: combined with Pulverize (Q), he knocks you into the air as soon as he arrives.

  4. Save your CC for after his R

    If you have CC, save it for after Unbreakable Will (R): the spell removes the CC on him when cast, but doesn't protect him from what comes next.
