Prioritize Skill 1, your shield breaker and damage source, then level Skill 2, your engage tool.
Diving in with Skill 2 from your mounted state is strong, but missing it is costly. Chain your CC to line up with your ADC's burst window. That is how you win 2v2 lane fights.
Use your mobility to roam to mid and the jungle. Look for surprise engages from out of vision with Hexflash. Chaining CC before the enemy can react widens your lead.
As the team's main engage, watch for the moment enemies carelessly bunch up. Layer your engage with an allied AoE Ult (Miss Fortune or Kennen, for example) and the fight ends quickly.
Dive into the center of the enemy team with Skill 2 and immediately pull them together with Ult. Add the Skill 1 stun to keep them locked down. Hold on with your shields while your team's damage finishes them.
Rell does not deal damage on her own. Forcing an engage when your team cannot follow up is very dangerous. After diving with Skill 2 (Ferromancy: Crash Down), your movement speed drops. If your allies cannot catch up, you are focused and killed. Always check where your carries are, and from Lv5 set up teamfights with Ult-based AoE CC.
Leap in with Skill 2 for a shield, then add CC and damage with Skill 3 and Skill 1.
Drag them together with Ult, then knock the whole group up with Skill 2.

A three-step guide set by the official champion library. For difficulty, a higher number means harder to play.

Our take
Ferromancy is Rell's form swap, and since each form gives her a different role it sits at the centre of how she plays. Moving the cooldown from 5s to 9s widens the gap between swaps, so she has to commit to the form she wants before a fight starts rather than during it. Flipping forms just to see what happens no longer works — picking a form is now a decision in its own right.
Our take
Rune changes had left Rell noticeably squishier than the other supports, so she gets the durability to step forward again. Six more base AR makes walking into an enemy marksman's basic attacks survivable, and the extra 4 base AD sharpens her level 1 trading. Shattering Strike is untouched at rank 1 but gains up to 15 damage from rank 2 onward, so the pressure shows up once she has points in it.
