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 Lee Sin

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Step up when he misses Q

    Step up when Sonic Wave (Q) misses you: without it, he has no dash to reach you, and it has a 10 to 6 second cooldown.

  2. Spread out from your allies

    In teamfights, spread out from your allies when facing him: the champion he kicks with Dragon's Rage (R) damages every enemy they collide with and knocks them into the air.

  3. Watch your early jungle

    Ward your jungle entrance early on: Lee Sin often looks to invade early to get ahead.

  4. Drag the game out

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