Everything You Need to Know About Rell in League of Legends
The horse-riding Support has one of the coolest designs in League of Legends, but what does she do in-game and what is her history? This is everything you need to know about Rell!
Rell is another awesome champion that hates Noxus, and with one of the coolest lore stories we have gotten in recent years, it is fair to say that Rell is certainly an interesting character in the League of Legends lore.
Her abilities, especially after a mini-rework, certainly do stand up to the noble horsewoman inspiration, with a twist. Whilst she is a great champion to pick up, her kit can be a little overwhelming, so we have got for you everything you need, from her lore to her abilities.
Rell’s abilities in League of Legends
Passive: Break the Mold
Rell’s passive allows any damage she deals to non-minions to reduce their resistances by 2% for 5s, which can stack up to 5 times. This means she is essentially a built in MR and armor shredder for her ADC and the rest of her team. While the passive steals armor and magic resist, the exact percentage may vary based on game updates.
She also gainst bonus resistances based on the amount she reduces from targets, so she can become a true tank if she dives right in.
Q: Shattering Strike
Rell thrusts forward with her lance, and destroys shields when it hits them. It also stuns any target hit for 0.65s.
Rell Jungle is somewhat viable, and when she was reworked, Riot Games added in a few features to make this possible. One of these was that her Q, Shattering Strike, does bonus damage to monsters, up to 470 at max rank.
This means that Rell can destroy jungle camps with a Q max build!
W: Ferromancy: Crash Down
When using this ability, Rell dismounts from her horse, diving at a location of her choosing. She also gains a shield and knocks up enemies. This is her engaging ability, as she can dive on enemies, as well as keep the momentum going by sliding through them automatically.
Shield value is 25 / 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 (+13% maximum health).
This, once again, does bonus damage to monsters, meaning it is not just Rell’s Q that does all the jungle damage. This way Rell can stun camps such as Raptors and Wolves without taking too much damage from the smaller monsters.
W: Ferromancy: Mount Up
This is the second part of Rell’s W, which allows her to remount, but before you do, keep in mind that whilst dismounted, Rell gains a bunch of extra stats. These are:
- 12% bonus armor
- 12% bonus magic resist
- 30% bonus attack speed
- 75 bonus attack range
- 10% reduced movement speed
Using the active of Rell’s Ferromancy: Mount Up, allows her to leap at a target location with increased movement speed, attack speed and auto attack range. When she lands, and if she lands on a target, she will stun the area for 0.6 seconds and throw enemies atop herself.
Once again, this ability does bonus damage to monsters, so keep that Jungle Rell dream alive!
E: Full Tilt
We know a few of you have gone full tilt on other champions but on Rell, it is her E ability. Rell and her targeted ally gain movement speed and allows her next auto attack or Q ability to explode with bonus magic damage.
You do not actually need to target an ally, however, as using Rell’s E will automatically target the nearest ally.
The Iron Maiden’s E also does bonus magic damage to monsters, but it is capped at 150 magic damage.
R: Magnet Storm
If Orianna ult and Nilah ult had a baby, it would be Rell’s ultimate ability, Magnet Storm. Rell pulls nearby enemies towards her, and subsequently creates an AOE magnet storm around her, dragging nearby enemies in for 2s.
This is great with either of her W abilities, as she can jump in, stun enemies, and drag them all in for your team to wombo combo nicely.
When was Rell released in League of Legends?
Rell hit the rift on December 9, 2020, which was Patch 10.25, just in the middle of pre-season for Season 11 of League of Legends.
Whilst it doesn’t feel like Rell has been out for nearly three years, her and her debut skin of Battle Queen Rell are becoming experienced champions on the Rift!
Where is Rell from in League of Legends?
Rell originates from Noxus, although she despises Noxus for experimenting on her as a child. This came from her early development of Ferromancy as a child.
She is currently a fugitive within Noxus, after escaping the Black Rose Academy and Leblanc.
Rell’s Age in League of Legends
Rell was born in 980 AN, which places the young Ferromancer at 17 years of age. This means if you have read Rell’s awesome lore, you will now know that all she went through was at such a young age.
Rell’s Voice Actor in League of Legends
Laya DeLeon Hayes is the Rell voice actress, and she certainly delivers! She is not only a voice actress, but the 19 year old from the US has actually appeared in movie and tv franchises, such as Kung Fu Panda and the Equalizer.
Is Rell AD or AP?
Rell uses AP. Her abilities deal magic damage. She gets stronger with ability power and tank items. Her Q, W, and R skills all scale with AP. She does not use basic attacks to deal damage. Instead, she focuses on disrupting enemies and protecting teammates. Most players build her with tank items like Locket of the Iron Solari or Knight’s Vow. These items help her survive longer and support the team. You can play her as a support or a tank in the top lane.
Is Rell a child?
Rell is a teenager. She is about 16 or 17 years old. Riot Games shared this in her background story. She trained at a special academy where she learned how to control metal. The academy treated her badly and used her for experiments. Rell escaped and now fights against the people who hurt her. Even though she is young, she has a serious personality. Her story shows how she grew strong through pain.
Rell is our awesome horse-riding Ferromancer, but sometimes she just doesn’t fit our team comp, but luckily we have covered almost every champion in the League of Legends roster on our website, so this should never be an issue for you!
