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 Hecarim

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Leave the landing point of his R

    When he casts Onslaught of Shadows (R), move away from the end of his dash: the shockwave there fears every nearby enemy, longer after a long run.

  2. Save your CC for his charge

    If you have a slow or CC, save it for Devastating Charge (E): he gains speed as he runs, and Warpath (passive) turns it into AD.

  3. Save your burst for after his W

    Wait for Spirit of Dread (W) to end before your burst: while it lasts, he gains armor and magic resist and heals from damage dealt around him.

  4. Ward his gank paths

    Ward his gank paths: Devastating Charge (E) gains speed over time, so he looks to build momentum in the fog of war.
