Sona into Rellmedium

Overview

Play a defensive scaling lane prioritizing ADC protection from Rell's engage and enabling poke follow-up.
Deny Rell brush control to limit her engage angles and keep ADC safe.
Use river vision to track Rell's roam timer and prevent mid pressure or dragon setups.

Respect Rell's level 2 engage and avoid stepping up without ADC ready to follow.
Beware of Rell's full CC chain at level 3 when she can lock down ADC quickly.
Track Rell's level 6 cooldown to avoid giving clean engage or counter-engage angles.

Track the level 2 race and avoid contesting wave unless ADC can follow your threat.
Hold brush control to prevent Rell from flanking with engage.
Keep wave state favorable for safe poke and avoid pushing too far without vision.

Level 2 unlocks your sustain and poke; use it to outlast Rell's early engage attempts.
Level 3 completes your kit, enabling better peel and poke around brush control.
Level 6 is your main punish; use it with ADC follow-up to stop Rell's multi-target engage.

Convert brush and river vision control into denying Rell's engage angles and enabling ADC poke.
Use in grouped fights or dives to peel and punish overcommitment.
Crash wave safely to create roam windows, securing vision around dragon and mid pressure.
