Rek'Sai

Rek'Sai jungle is bruiser duelist. Start Hunter's Talisman + Refillable. Full clear: Red→Krugs→Raptors→Wolves→Blue. Hit lvl 3 by 3:30 — first gank window.

Gank lanes with all-in combo. Conqueror keystone stacks during extended trades. Counter-jungle enemy when ahead. Look for Scuttle Crab fight at 3:30.

Goredrinker + Plated Steelcaps is your spike. Rek'Sai forces objective fights with smite-based pickoffs. Roam to skirmishes — your sustain + damage carries fights.

Black Cleaver 2nd item shreds armor for team. Death's Dance 3rd item makes you a 1v2 threat in objective contests.

Bruiser carry. Rek'Sai dives squishies through frontline. Sterak's Gage 4th item = shield + tenacity. Avoid getting kited — Mercury's Treads + Sterak's tenacity.

Death's Dance heals 15% damage dealt. Bloodthirster sustain late game. Anathema's Chains vs fed enemy carry.

Gank lanes → snowball jungle pressure → carry objective fights. Rek'Sai carries by both pickoffs and 5v5.

Win: 3+ ganks succeed + 2+ objective secures + 50%+ KP. Lose to: scaling junglers (Master Yi, Kindred) — counter-gank before 3-item spike.

Level 3 — full kit + first gank window. Level 6 — R for execute kills. Goredrinker (1st item) — sustain + AoE damage. Black Cleaver (2nd item) — armor shred for team teamfights. Level 11 — R rank 2 + 2 items. Death's Dance (3rd item) — death recovery in 1v2 skirmishes.

Combos:

• Conqueror stacks during sustained trades — long-AA, not short-burst
• Pre-Q before flash gap-close = guaranteed proc
• Use R as execute, not as engage tool

Anti-tips:

• Don't trade with full mana cost — manage for fights
• Don't ult full-HP target — wait for execute threshold
• Don't 1v3 without Sterak's Gage

Pro tricks:

• Smite priority targets in skirmishes (steal kills)
• Counter-gank when 2+ levels ahead
• Goredrinker active heals 25-90% of missing HP
