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 Qiyana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Check her weapon's element

    Before a trade, check her weapon's element: with Ice, Elemental Wrath (Q) roots you, and with Wild, the brush element, its trail makes her invisible.

  2. Back off when she changes element

    Back off when she casts Terrashape (W): the spell resets Elemental Wrath (Q), so she can hit you twice in a row.

  3. Stay away from walls and the river

    Don't fight right next to a wall, the river or brush: Supreme Display of Talent (R) explodes along them and stuns enemies there.
