To play Rell effectively in League of Legends: Wild Rift, initiate teamfights using Ferromancy to enter the fray, gather targets with Magnet Storm, and lock them down with Shattering Strike. After committing your primary crowd control, weave basic attacks across multiple targets to steal their defensive stats with Break the Mold while managing the heavy movement speed penalty of your dismounted form.
Managing Ferromancy Stances
Rell alternates between Mounted and Dismounted stances using her Ferromancy ability. Choosing the correct stance determines your movement speed, crowd control delivery, and immediate durability.
| Form | Primary Strengths | Major Limitations | Best Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mounted | High movement speed, single-target flip on attack | Lower direct resistances, lacks area knockup | Roaming, lane ganks, and picking off isolated targets |
| Dismounted | Area-of-effect knockup, temporary shield, boosted resistances | Severe movement speed reduction, easily kited | Primary teamfight engage, objective pit fights, and counter-engages |
- Crash Down (Dismounted): Casting Ferromancy while mounted causes Rell to leap forward, knocking up enemies in the impact zone. She gains a temporary shield along with bonus armor and magic resistance, but suffers a severe movement speed reduction until she mounts again.
- Mount Up (Mounted): Casting Ferromancy while dismounted returns Rell to her steed, granting a burst of movement speed. Her next basic attack lunges at the target, knocking them back and throwing them over her shoulder.
Because missing Crash Down leaves Rell slow and vulnerable, avoid using it aggressively at Level 1. Wait until you have both Ferromancy and Shattering Strike available before committing to all-in trades in lane.
Passive and Crowd Control Breakdown
Rell's baseline kit strips defensive stats from frontliners and neutralizes shielded targets before they can disengage.
- Break the Mold (Passive): Rell’s basic attacks and damaging abilities steal a percentage of the target's armor and magic resist for a short duration, dealing bonus magic damage based on the amount stolen. Weaving basic attacks between ability casts across several enemies spreads this debuff and bolsters your own defenses.
- Shattering Strike (Q): Rell thrusts forward in a line, stunning targets and breaking active damage shields before dealing damage. Use this to instantly remove shields from champions like Sett, Shen, Lulu, or Janna.
- Magnet Storm (Ultimate): Rell creates a gravitational field that violently pulls nearby enemies toward her and drags them along with her movement for several seconds. Magnet Storm does not apply a hard stun or silence on its own, so you must pair it with Shattering Strike or Crash Down to prevent targets from casting mobility spells or using Flash to escape.
Essential Ability Combos
Use these sequences to secure teamfight initiations, isolate priority carries, or protect allied backlines:
- Teamfight Initiation (Full Tilt > Crash Down > Magnet Storm > Shattering Strike): Gain movement speed with Full Tilt to close distance, leap into the enemy cluster with Crash Down, and buffer Magnet Storm during the descent. The pull triggers as the knockup ends, allowing an immediate Shattering Strike to stun the grouped enemies.
- Isolated Pick (Full Tilt > Flash > Mount Up > Shattering Strike): Activate Full Tilt for speed, Flash past the frontline, and hit an isolated target with Mount Up's lunging attack to fling them backward into your team. Cast Shattering Strike immediately upon landing the throw to prevent them from flashing away.
- Peeling Counter-Engage (Magnet Storm > Shattering Strike > Crash Down): When enemy dive champions jump onto your carry, activate Magnet Storm to pull them away. Follow immediately with Shattering Strike to stun them, then cast Crash Down directly onto them to maintain the lockdown.

I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
Nice guide. I am checking the other League of Legends: Wild Rift articles next.
