Who Wins
- Pre-6 you have slight advantage in short trades with your passive double-shot and E mobility, but Rell's engage threat limits your aggression.
- Post-6 the matchup becomes more even as Tristana's R gives her strong disengage against your all-ins while your R provides better teamfight presence.
Synergy & Trading
- Use E aggressively to proc passive on both enemies when Rell misses W, then kite back with W movement speed.
- Your strongest trading windows come after Rell uses W since she becomes immobile and vulnerable to your full combo.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Look to freeze or slow push depending on jungle pressure since you need to avoid overextending against Rell's engage.
- When ahead, fast push and look for roams with Maokai since your mid-game spike is stronger than Tristana's.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't E forward without vision of their jungler since Rell can easily chain CC you to death.
- Avoid trading when Tristana has her E bomb stacked on you as the explosion damage combined with Rell's follow-up can be lethal.
