Playing as Rek'Sai

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Bite at full Fury

    Save Furious Bite (E) for when your Fury bar is full: the bite then deals true damage.

  2. Un-burrow under your target

    Come out of the ground with Un-burrow (W) under your target: they and nearby enemies take a knock-up, so you can engage or interrupt a channel.

  3. Void Rush a wounded target

    Cast Void Rush (R) on an enemy you damaged in the last few seconds: untargetable, then unstoppable, you lunge at them, and your Un-burrow (W) comes back.

  4. Burrow to cross the map

    Cast Burrow (W) before crossing the map: your Tremor Sense reveals to your team nearby enemies who move unseen.

  5. Dig your tunnels in advance

    Dig with Tunnel (E) near lanes to gank and on your escape routes: each tunnel lasts and can be reused, but an enemy standing on an entrance destroys it.

Playing against Elise

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Step up after a missed Cocoon

    Step up when her Cocoon (E) misses you: it's her only stun, on a 12 to 10 second cooldown.

  2. Don't stay low near her bite

    Don't stay in melee range at low health: in spider form, Venomous Bite (Q) lunges at you and deals damage based on your missing health.

  3. Ward the way into your lane

    Ward the path between her jungle and your lane: when she ganks, Cocoon (E) stuns you from range as soon as it hits.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive her first minutes, play for time: Elise is strongest early and loses impact once everyone has their items.
