Karthus has a much greater difficulty compared to Rell. That means Rell players should be careful when lining up Karthus comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much higher level of skill to fight well with you.

Fighting alongside, Rell players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to provide a lot of utility for your team. Combined, these champions may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.

Conversely, by bringing Rell and Karthus together, you may not be giving your team much anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that fills this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Karthus teammate, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
