How to beat Rek'Sai

Common role: Jungle

A burrowing predator who feels your steps and erupts under you.

What makes Rek'Sai dangerous

Rek'Sai burrows to move fast and sense enemies through fog, erupts with a knock-up, tunnels across walls, and her ultimate executes a marked target for missing-health damage. Her early game is one of the strongest — expect level 2-3 ganks and constant skirmishes.

How to play against Rek'Sai

• 1Respect her early: ward deep and don't skirmish 1v1 in her jungle pre-6.
• 2Destroy her tunnels — it removes her map mobility and escape routes.
• 3Her ult needs a mark (recent damage): break line long enough and it can't execute you.
• 4She falls off — drag the game long and group.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Falls off hard in the late game.
• ✓Unburrowed she's a short-range melee with modest damage.
• ✓Tunnels are destroyable and her pathing is readable.
• ✓Knock-up is only on unburrow — bait it and trade after.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Rek'Sai's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Furia del Xer'Sai

  Rek'Sai genera furia cuando ataca o golpea con una habilidad básica. Consume esta furia mientras está bajo tierra para recuperar vida.

  Strong: burrowed she senses enemies through fog and moves fast. Weak: burrowed she can't auto-attack and has less vision range up close.

• Q
  Ira de la reina / Rastreadora

  Los siguientes 3 ataques básicos de Rek'Sai infligen daño físico adicional a todos los enemigos cercanos.Mientras está bajo tierra, Rek'Sai lanza una andanada de tierra que inflige daño y revela a los enemigos a los que golpee.

  Strong: burrowed Q is ranged poke; unburrowed — bonus damage on autos. Weak: the burrowed bolt is a thin dodgeable line.

• W
  Excavar / Salir a la superficie

  Rek'Sai se mete bajo tierra, lo que le da acceso a habilidades nuevas y aumenta su velocidad de movimiento. No obstante, el alcance de visión se reduce y tampoco puede usar ataques básicos.Mientras está bajo tierra, Rek'Sai puede lanzar Salir a la superficie para causar daño a enemigos cercanos.

  Strong: unburrowing knocks up everyone around — her gank opener. Weak: it's her ONLY hard CC — bait the unburrow and trade right after.

• E
  Mordisco furioso / Túnel

  Rek'Sai muerde a su objetivo y le inflige daño físico, o daño verdadero adicional si dispone del máximo de furia.Mientras está bajo tierra, Rek'Sai crea un túnel reutilizable y duradero. Los enemigos pueden destruirlo al colocarse sobre cualquiera de sus entradas.

  Strong: tunnels cross walls and stay as escape routes; the bite does true damage at full fury. Weak: tunnels are destroyable — clear them and she loses her mobility net.

• R
  Carrera del vacío

  Rek'Sai marca a los objetivos de forma pasiva al infligirles daño. Puede activar la habilidad para que no se la pueda seleccionar como objetivo durante unos instantes, se lance hacia un objetivo marcado y le inflija una gran cantidad de daño en función de la vida máxima.

  Strong: an untargetable execute dive on a marked target. Weak: needs a recent-damage mark — break contact briefly and the execute is unavailable.

Itemization

Survive her early storm: deep vision, no coin-flip skirmishes, destroy tunnels. She has no late game — scale and group.
