Wild Rift Rell Guide: Skill Analysis

Passive: Break the Mold

Rell’s attacks and abilities steal 2.5% Armor and 2.5% Magic Resist from enemies hit for 5 seconds, up to an increase of 12.5%. Max stacks: 5 per target. Her attacks deal an additional 4 (5% Armor + 5% Magic Resist) magic damage on hit. Rell also steals at least 1.5 – 3 Armor and Magic Resist per basic attack. However, she does not steal from minions or epic monsters.

Skill 1: Shattering Strike

Rell thrusts her lance, dealing magic damage and stunning them for 0.65 seconds. It also destroys all shields of enemies hit by the attack; it does not break shields on monsters.

Skill 2: Ferromancy – Crash Down/Mount Up

Armored Form – Dismounted Resilience (Passive): Rell gains 12% Armor, 12% Magic Resist, 20% Attack Speed, and 75 Attack Range.

• Ferromancy: Crash Down (Active): Leaps off her mount, dealing magic damage and knocking up surrounding enemies. She also gains a shield, which lasts until she remounts. Rell then enters Armored Form, which lets her cast Ferromancy: Mount up.

Mounted Alacrity (Passive): Gains 15 Movement Speed while mounted.

• Ferromancy: Mount Up (Active): Rell mounts up and gains 30% decaying Movement Speed for 2 seconds. Her next attack within 3.5 seconds knocks up enemies and throws them behind her, dealing an additional magic damage. She then enters Mounted Form, which lets her cast Ferromancy: Crash Down.

Skill 3: Full Tilt

Rell charges, granting herself and a target allied champion nearby 10% Movement Speed. If no target is selected, the nearest allied champion will receive the bonus. This bonus increases to 25% for 3 seconds when facing enemy champions or each other. Rell’s next attack or Shattering Strike explodes in an area, dealing magic damage based on the target’s max Health. This ability also deals up to 150 damage against monsters and structures.

Ultimate ability: Magnet Storm

Explodes in fury, pulling nearby enemy champions toward herself. Continuous Pull: While Magnet Storm is active, it constantly pulls nearby enemies toward her, dealing lots of magic damage over 2 seconds.

Skill-up method for Rell

Prioritise upgrading Skill 2 for extra mobility and control, follow up with upgrading Skill 1 for bonus damage output, then Skill 3. Unlock and upgrade the ultimate ability whenever available.

Best Equipment Build for Rell in Wild Rift

Her equipment build focuses on boosting her Armor, Magic Resist, Health, and overall survivability, while giving her enough mobility to engage fights confidently. The following equipment build will boost Kell’s overall performance on the Rift:

• Relic Shield: Ensure to always start with this, as it gives you gold income while roaming, making it safe when you last-hit minions for your ADC.
• Steel-Plated Stoneplate: This item reduces the physical damage received from enemies. It also boosts Kell’s survivability and sustain by granting extra Shield, the higher your defense stats.
• Dead Man’s Plate: Grants extra Movement Speed and bonus damage on hit. The extra speed lets you find faster engages or reposition to peel for your carries
• Amaranth’s Twinguard: This item massively boosts your Armor and Magic Resist during combat.

• Thornmail: This is an ideal anti-heal and physical defense item, as it reflects damage to enemies while reducing their lifesteal.

Wild Rift Rell Guide: Gameplay Tips

Rell is a Tank/support champion who specializes in hard engage, crowd control, and protecting her team on the Rift. In this guide, we’ll be breaking down Rell’s gameplay into the Early, Mid, and Late gameplay phases for a better understanding of the champion.

Early Game

While using Rell, proceed to the Duo lane to support and protect your team’s ADC/marksman. You should start with Rell’s Skill 2 (Crash Down) to knock enemies up and gain a shield, then follow with Shattering Strike for a stun.

Since Rell’s passive makes you tankier during every fight, don’t be afraid to be a bit aggressive early on. Maximize the movement speed boost from your third skill to help your ADC dodge danger or create quick engage openings.

Your goal is to rotate across lanes, providing map control, denying aggressive enemy engagements, and assisting your teammates with potential teamfights. Helping your teammates secure the Rift Herald is highly recommended, as its perks and rewards are highly beneficial to your team. To easily perform in the early game, the following skill combo will help:

Mid Game

In mid-game, Rell becomes a roaming powerhouse. You should use Full Tilt to move quickly between lanes, assisting allies across the Rift. When engaging, begin in the Mounted state for extra mobility and control, then instantly Crash Down to knock up surrounding enemies again.

Rell excels in Objective fights, where her mobility and disruptive CC shine. Her ultimate, Magnet Storm, is her biggest mid-game power spike. Activate it immediately after diving in so you can pull multiple enemies together and set up chained attacks for your team. It is highly effective when pushing for objectives like Rift Herald or Elder Dragon.

Always stay near your carries and peel for them when assassins dive. Utilize your tank stats, shield Regen, and armor-stealing passive to tank and give your teammates an edge against enemy champions. Control vision and stay ready to engage. The best combo to use with Rell in the mid/late game is as follows:

Skill 3 → Skill 2 → Skill 1 → Ultimate ability→ Skill 2→ Skill 1

Late Game

Positioning is everything. In the late game, Rell becomes one of the strongest team-fight initiators on the Rift. She can easily disrupt grouped-up enemy champions, giving your team an edge.

Your overall goal in the late game is simple: either start the fight on your own terms or protect your team from dangerous engagements. If you time your abilities well, Rell can completely turn the final fights in your favor. Let’s check out some of Rell’s best counters, strengths, and weaknesses.

Final Thoughts

Rell is certainly a promising new Roam addition to the League of Legends: Wild Rift‘s roster. When mastered, Rell becomes one of the strongest frontline supports in Wild Rift, capable of deciding fights with a single combo.
