This item was a legit option for Rek'Sai before this patch but i would stay away from it now.

Prowler's Claw SMALL NERF

COOLDOWN 60 seconds ⇒ 90 seconds
LETHALITY 21 ⇒ 18
SANDSWIPE TARGETING Any enemy unit ⇒ Enemy champions

Nothing to worry about, just play around the CDR of the claw.
The active were you use it for is still fully intact.
I recommend you get this every game it fits just to well with your kit.

Keystone

Hail of Blades

Since your Q provides you with 3 empowerd autoattacks and Hail of Blades provides the quick attackspeed for it. It feels like the Keystone is made for Rek'Sai with that said it provides you with the speed and power to delete somebody super quickly. IMO the best keystone you can play her with.

Runes

Cheap Shot

This one will give always it's value. super synergy with Unburrow knockup. true Damage after a knockup to improve the burst speed a bit.

zombie ward

Extra DMG for removing wards with your sweeper and you give your team a ward back on the place of the destroyed ward for 2 minutes. Trade off is just too good here. So you are sweeping enemy wards and granting vision. Very good keystone imo.

ravenous hunter

Extra Sustain when clearing camps and a form of healing in fights. You can also take Relentless Hunter if you prefer movementspeed overall.

2nd Rune Page

Triumph

form of healing and a bigger window for risky plays. Also 20 extra gold per takedown. 400 bonus gold when you are involved in 20 kills. not bad.

Alacrity

Extra attackspeed for better clear, faster burst. You already have healing from your Hailblade and Ravenous Hunter so i think this is your best option.

Ionian boots of lucidity

Cheap boots and your flash and smite are gonna be up more often. You can combine it with Cosmic Insight Plated Steelcaps and Mercury's Treads can still be the better option depending on enemy teamcomp

Prowlers Claw

Bread and butter for this champ. Rush it always. Gap closer directed at an enemy followed up by a knockup and 15% bonus dmg on the target. If they flash out your ult can follow them up if needed. The extra 5 lethality per item is great as well.

Edge of Night

Spellshield is great so they have a hard time stopping you when you are hitting the backline. Stats are good too.

Steraks gage

People will go ape **** on you when you go for it so this item on top of your Ult gives you some survivability.

Guardian Angel

since you are ballsdeep in fights you are most likely to die so this item is kinda made for your play style.

Dead man's plate

I personally love this item on Rek'Sai. You have enough damage from the items above imo. This item makes you extra fast, beefy and give you a big first hit. some games demand a different item but i like it on her in general. Feel free to get someting else here if you dont like it.

Purple star is Rek'Sai.
Heart shape is your mate.
Explosion shape is your enemy.
Depending on which side you play options differ.
When blue you can super easily look for ganks at bot from this position since the river bush is often warded. If they are not under the tower they are basically gankable. Same goes for top but then you play red side and it's just the otherway around. People are overextending here but sometimes they just dont realise it.
Most likely you already knew this but its a heads up for the players who didnt.

thanks for reading,

Have a good one
