Fighter / Diver
Beginner Rule
Respect Rek'Sai's early game — she's strongest before many champions reach their scaling spikes.
Rek'Sai is an aggressive fighter who excels at early-game pressure and picks. She wants to use tunnels for mobility before knocking enemies up and bursting them down. Many beginners underestimate how much map control Rek'Sai gains through her tunnel network.
Level 3 – Full gank combo available.
Early Game – One of the strongest skirmishing junglers.
First Item – Duel potential increases significantly.

Knock-ups

Burrowed vision
QWhat it does
Unburrowed: next 3 attacks deal bonus physical AoE damage. Burrowed: fires an earth burst revealing enemies hit.
How to play against
Her burrowed Q reveals your position. The reveal gives her team information — back away from the area immediately.
WWhat it does
Burrow: gains new abilities and Move Speed. Can unburrow to knock up and damage enemies.
How to play against
Her unburrow is a knockup — step away from where she's burrowed before she surfaces.
EWhat it does
Unburrowed: bites for physical damage — true damage at max Fury. Burrowed: creates a reusable tunnel.
How to play against
At max Fury her bite deals true damage ignoring all resistances. Don't trade at close range when she has max Fury.
RWhat it does
Marks a target. Then lunges to them dealing massive percent-health damage while untargetable.
How to play against
She's untargetable during the lunge. Don't waste CC. The percent-health damage hurts tanks and squishies equally.
Tunnel → Knock-Up → Full Combo
Standard engage.
Burrow → Unburrow → Burst
Creates picks.
R Execute
Finishes fleeing targets.
Fury of the Xer'Sai: burrowed she regenerates health rapidly. Unburrowed she generates Fury. This passive sustain means harassing her while burrowed is less effective — she heals quickly underground.
