Xerath vs Rell

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) and (W) poke to zone Rell and deny her engage angles and brush control.
Hold (E) for peel to protect your ADC from (W) knockup and (E) stun.
Control river vision and wave state to limit Rell's roam and all-in follow-up.

Trading pattern

Poke with (Q) and (W) to keep Rell and her ADC at range, reducing their engage threat.
Hold (E) stun defensively to peel for your ADC against Rell's committed all-ins.
Coordinate cooldowns with your ADC to punish missed (W) engages or when Rell is dismounted.

Danger windows

Respect (W) knockup and (E) stun combo that enables devastating ADC follow-up.
Avoid clustering during (R) ultimate to prevent multi-target lockdown.
Beware of Rell flanking through brush without vision, especially when your (E) is on cooldown.

Early game

Track level 2 closely and avoid overextending before your ADC can follow your poke and peel.
Deny Rell brush control to reduce her engage angles and protect ADC positioning.
Use early wave pressure to create safe poke windows and force Rell to miss engage timings.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W) engage; play safe unless your ADC can follow instantly.
Level 6 (R) gives you long-range follow-up and pick potential; use it to punish Rell's engage or roam.
First completed mana/AP item boosts your poke and wave control, enabling safer pressure and vision.

Win conditions

Convert poke pressure into denying enemy ADC access and forcing recalls or poor positioning.
Ward river and tri-brush to track Rell's roam timer and prevent mid pressure or dragon setups.
Use your (R) ultimate to create picks or disengage, enabling safe objective control and teamfight entry.

Tip: For Xerath vs Rell, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
