Rell, The Iron Maiden: Abilities Showcase
Here is a complete showcase of Rell's abilities in League of Legends.
Passive: Break the Mold
Rell attacks very slowly but temporarily steals a portion of her target’s Armor and Magic Resist to deal bonus damage based on the amount stolen.
Additionally, Rell can siphon resistances from multiple different foes to grow extremely tanky.
Q Ability: Shattering Strike
Rell stabs forward with her lance, breaking any shields and damaging all enemies hit (damage decreases after the first target).
If Rell has an ally bound with E: Attract and Repel, she and that ally recover health for each champion hit by this ability.
W Ability 1 - Ferromancy: Crash Down
(While mounted) Rell leaps and transforms her mount into heavy armor, gaining a huge shield that lasts until destroyed or she remounts. On landing, she knocks up enemies around her. Rell can cast her E and R during the change.
W Ability 2 - Ferromancy: Mount Up
(While armored) Rell rushes forward and transforms her armor into a mount, gaining a burst of movement speed. During her next attack, she charges her target to deal bonus damage and flips them over her shoulder.
E Ability - Attract and Repel
Rell magnetically binds a piece of her armor to a target allied champion, granting them bonus Armor and Magic Resist while nearby.
Rell can recast this spell to break the bind and stun all enemies around and between her and her bound ally.
R Ultimate Ability: Magnet Storm
Rell erupts in magnetic fury, yanking nearby enemies toward her. She then creates a gravitational field around her, pulling nearby enemies in for a few seconds. The field doesn't interrupt her enemies’ other actions.
By the looks of her abilities, she would be a good counter to many tank characters in League of Legends as her passive directly takes away the resistance stats. Moreover, her ultimate is an excellent CC AOE ability which should synergize with many champions like Kennen, Diana, Orianna, and Samira. Rell seems to have great team fight potential as well.
