Rell vs Vel'Koz

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (W) engage from brush to surprise Vel'Koz and force his ADC to play back.
Control side brush to deny Vel'Koz's poke angles and protect your ADC's approach.
Enable your ADC's all-in damage by chaining CC with (E) and (R) after (W) initiation.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by entering from brush with (W), layering (E) stun, then using (R) to lock down multiple targets.
Hold engage cooldowns if (E) knockup is available to avoid being counter-engaged.
Use ADC follow-up windows after your full CC chain to maximize kill pressure and zone Vel'Koz.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) split poke angles that can zone your ADC from the wave.
Avoid engaging when (E) knockup is off cooldown, as it can disrupt your initiation.
Beware of Vel'Koz's level 6 (R) channel; interrupt attempts can punish your engage or peel.

Early game

Win level 2 by engaging with (W) when your ADC can follow up immediately.
Deny Vel'Koz's poke by crashing the wave early to reduce his long-range pressure.
Place vision in river and side brush to track Vel'Koz's roam attempts and protect your ADC.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (W) engage and (Q) poke, enabling strong all-in with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 grants full CC chain (W), (E), and (Q) for extended lockdown and peel.
Level 6 (R) amplifies multi-target engage and peel potential around dragon and fights.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and successful (W) engages into denied enemy ADC positioning and kills.
Roam after crashing waves to apply mid pressure and secure river vision for dragon setup.
Use multi-target CC chains to enable your ADC's AoE damage and secure favorable 2v2 or teamfight entries.
