I still need to update that section of the guide, thanks for the reminder.

The quick answer is anything that gets you to level 3 quickly with Red buff, since you want to be able to gank as soon as possible. The best paths for this are as follows:

1. Red -> Krugs -> Raptors -> Transition gank mid -> Gank side lane / Counter jungle / Do your own Blue side

2a. Red -> Blue -> Gromp -> Gank side lane / Gank mid
2b. Blue -> Gromp -> Red -> Gank side lane / Gank mid

Choose your starting location based on which side lane you want to pressure (path towards gankable lanes and away from safe lanes). If you're on blue team and you want to gank top at level 3, start at Red, for example.

If you know where the enemy jungler is starting you can choose to match their pathing direction to deny them scuttle / invade them, or you can choose to path in the opposite direction to avoid them.

Other viable routes include 5-camp clearing (everything except Gromp or Krugs) and then taking Scuttle, or 4-camp clearing with Blue Gromp Wolves Red. These routes are more situational since they delay your first gank timing, so only do longer clears if you're sure you won't be able to gank until after scuttle.

There are a couple other routes involving early invades, but they're more complicated to figure out, as you need to be able to analyze the jungle matchup and also track the enemy jungler to invade at the proper time. Use these ganking routes first and you can start experimenting with invade timings once you have a solid baseline to work with.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Easy enough. Done.

Here's the item set I currently use for Rek'Sai. You can import it by going into the League of Legends client, under Collection -> Items. Click the Import Item Set button and paste the code below.

Titanic is good but it'll only be effective if you built and maintained a lead from the early or mid game. If you're even or behind, you'll need as efficient use of your gold as possible, which usually means resistances from stuff like Dead Man's Plate. If you're not in danger of dying and have the gold for Titanic, definitely go for it.

I don't use Wit's End or Blade of the Ruined King on Rek'Sai. I think you can get more out of HP and AD than you can out of attack speed in general. More survivability and damage will let you kill someone with your main combo while minimizing counterplay since you can do a lot of damage while they're knocked up and later when you go untargetable by ulting. If you're just standing there hitting them for several seconds, you're going to take a lot more damage.

I think BotRK works better on split-pushers since they can go for longer 1v1s with the attack speed, so you'll usually see the item built by top lane bruisers. Wit's isn't a bad item since it does give MR, but I'll pretty much always build Spirit Visage or Adaptive Helm over it on Rek'Sai.

Black Cleaver gives a lot of HP and CDR. It's popular on bruisers because it offer some damage without committing like 3k gold to pure damage stats. You can get kinda tanky with it while maintaining your damage threat. The HP also works well with Sterak's Gage since the shield scales with bonus HP, and with Guardian Angel since it only offers armor and not HP.

I never build Serrated Dirk or its upgrades on Rek'Sai. Imo if you're fed enough to get away with a full damage item like that without getting punished in team fights, you're going to win the game either way. In closer games, you'll need more defenses to team fight.

Don't focus too much on Cleaver's armor shred. It's a nice bonus effect but not the main reason why the item is popular. The stats are more important.

I've done Trinity Force before and it's okay. The main issue is it's really expensive and doesn't offer as much HP as Black Cleaver even when you complete it. I'd expect it'd be more useful for top lane Rek'Sai if anything. Maybe you can squeeze it into the build if you're really really fed early. I'd rather have Triforce than Duskblade anyway.

Death's Dance is another really expensive damage item. In the vast majority of games, you'll get more out of defensive stats for your final items. If you're super fed and unkillable, DD is a decent option for damage.

If you're lacking in damage, you might be underleveled or behind in gold. Rek'Sai gains a lot of flat damage from levels and items, so you'll feel stronger if you can get ahead in tempo and get your power spikes faster. When you're fed, you can kill a squishy target pretty easily just by rotating through all your abilities and finishing them with R.

There are other items like Serrated Dirk and Duskblade of Draktharr that provide stronger damage spikes, but the issue is you'll be made of paper and won't be able to live through team fights. Other champions are a lot better at abusing lethality since most of them have ways to survive fights, and Rek'Sai only has her R which takes her closer to enemies.

Ultimately you can build whatever you want if you're strong enough that the enemy can't punish you, but when you're struggling, I'd recommend going with a more standard build.

She received some buffs in 9.4. Prey Seeker generates 25 fury and Void Rush can't be dodged unless the target moves over 1000 units away (basically if they Teleport or use a similar ability).

In fights, Conqueror definitely makes a big difference, especially if your opponent isn't a Conqueror user. The keystone is warping the meta a little bit imo. I don't think Hecarim would be such a strong pick without it.

She never needed it tbh. It's nice to have early game because it makes your jungle clear a lot faster, but after the cost increase I felt like it was delaying my Warrior and Cleaver power spikes for way too long. Her AoE clear is good enough that she doesn't rely on it.

I still build it occasionally but for the most part I think it's better to rush Warrior and Cleaver since both are good power spikes. It also means you get more CDR earlier. :)

I think E max works a lot better in lane than jungle. You lose a lot of clear speed and your damage is less reliable if you don't have Q maxed first. The reduced tunnel CD is definitely really nice though. Feel free to try it out for yourself and see if it works for you, but at the moment I don't recommend E max. Q max does a lot more damage in sustained fights and is much better for jungle clear.

Thanks so much for the kind words. <3

I haven't played Rek'Sai top since her rework (I miss her old ult :(), so idk how helpful I can be here.

Conqueror with Bone Plating and Demolish secondary would probably work. Grasp of the Undying might be okay as well. I'd start with Conqueror and see how it goes.

Get Tiamat into Titanic Hydra and Black Cleaver. From there you can get Guardian Angel or Sterak's Gage or a resistance item if necessary. Defensive boots.

You'll have to play a bunch of games to see what matchups work. I can already tell you she'll be awful into Quinn, Gnar and other ranged bullies that can get away from your Tunnel engage. She likely loses to really strong melees like Renekton and Illaoi as well. Might be viable into Camille if you can reliably interrupt her dash. Probably works okay into tanks, maybe decent into Riven and Aatrox but I'd have to play the matchups to know for sure.

Let me know how it goes!
