Strengths & weaknesses

Tools to play around

What can go wrong

  • Queen's Wrath / Prey SeekerPractise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
  • Burrow / Un-burrowUse this control to create a follow-up window. Check the target’s defensive spells and your teammates’ range before committing.
  • A completed combo is only useful when your position, resources and follow-up are safe.

Abilities & tips

Open an ability to read its effect and a practical use tip.

PFury of the Xer'Sai

Rek'Sai generates Fury by Attacking and hitting with basic Abilities. She consumes this Fury while Burrowed to restore health.

Use it well

Read the effect and its conditions, then practise it alone. Build your sequence around the effect you can reliably reproduce.

QQueen's Wrath / Prey Seeker

Rek'Sai's next 3 basic attacks deal bonus Physical Damage to nearby enemies. While Burrowed, Rek'Sai launches a burst of void-charged earth that damages and reveals enemies hit.

Use it well

Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.

WBurrow / Un-burrow

Rek'Sai burrows into the ground, gaining new abilities and increased Move Speed. Her vision range is reduced and she cannot use basic attacks. While Burrowed, Rek'Sai may cast Unburrow to knock up and damage nearby enemies.

Use it well

Use this control to create a follow-up window. Check the target’s defensive spells and your teammates’ range before committing.

EFurious Bite / Tunnel

Rek'Sai bites her target, dealing physical damage, or bonus true damage if she has max Fury. While Burrowed, Rek'Sai creates a re-usable, long lasting tunnel. Enemies can destroy it by standing on top of either entrance.

Use it well

Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.

RVoid Rush

Rek'Sai passively marks targets by damaging them. She can activate this ability to become briefly untargetable and lunge at a marked target for heavy damage based on their maximum health.

Use it well

Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.

Rek'Sai combos: execution and timing

AA = basic attack · EAA = empowered attack · 1/2/3 = cast stage. Follow the order, not instant key presses.

Spell and attack trade: Queen's Wrath / Prey Seeker

  1. AA
  2. Queen's Wrath / Prey SeekerQ
  3. AA
  4. AA
  5. Furious Bite / TunnelE

With Rek'Sai, start with Basic attack, then continue through Queen's Wrath / Prey Seeker → Basic attack → Basic attack → Furious Bite / Tunnel. Use Queen's Wrath / Prey Seeker to prepare the next attack; let that attack connect before moving to the next action.

Mistake to avoid : Pressing Queen's Wrath / Prey Seeker alone is not the empowered hit: do not cancel the following attack.

05

Game plan by role

Rek'Sai · Jungle
Early game

Practise a repeatable clear before adding risky invades. Check nearby lane positions before entering the river or committing to a gank.

Mid game

Prepare objectives by resetting, checking vision and moving with nearby allies. Avoid starting an objective solely because it has spawned.

Teamfights

Keep Smite and your escape plan in mind around contested objectives. Choose between engaging, covering a carry and keeping access to the objective.

Before your next fight, check: Queen's Wrath / Prey Seeker · Void Rush · Combos

06

Matchup preparation

Compare opponents in the build for the role you are actually playing. Then check their key control, escape and defensive spells before choosing your trade.

07

Practice checklist

  1. Cast each ability alone and identify its range, target conditions and stopping point.
  2. Practise the first sequence slowly. Repeat it while moving, without skipping the conditions shown on its card.
  3. After each attempt, identify the spell you would still have available to defend or retreat.
