Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose most trades due to Rell's superior engage range with W and Tristana's explosive shot damage, but your E bushes provide some zoning.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R lockdown, especially if you can catch Rell after she engages or Tristana without her W escape.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q knockback when Rell tries to W engage, then follow up with E placement to zone their retreat path.
- Your best trades come from punishing Rell's long W cooldown or when Tristana is pushed up without minions to W to.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Focus on maintaining brush control with E saplings to deny Rell's engage angles and provide vision.
- Push for level advantages when possible since your R at 6 creates a massive power spike that can turn the lane.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q defensively against Rell's W engage since the knockback is your main disengage tool.
- Avoid face-checking brushes without E vision since Rell can easily set up picks with her CC chain.
