Introduction

Hello there, Summoner! My name is TheSinnohScrolls and this is my ![]() She's a top rated jungler ever since her release and mastering her can be quite rewarding because of her strong presence in-game and her really effective ganks. |
Why Tracker's Knife?
After testing with the different smite options available, the 2 that are most effective are





Later I realized that, not only the



Dead Man's Plate and Boots of Swiftness
If you noticed earlier,


The reason I buy



Offensive Items
These items are great for making you tanky and at the same time make you a threat because they have a good balance of tank stats and damaging stats. Combine that with the perks from the Resolve Skill Tree and you'll do a lot of damage and still be a damn good front-liner!
![]() |
Q: Queen's WrathThis is Rek'Sai's main damaging ability, it resets her auto-attacks even against structures, so make sure to keep that in mind for maximum damage efficiency. |
![]() |
E: Furious BiteRek'Sai's E ability is also a great damaging tool, since its damage increases by the amount of Fury available. An interesting note is that, at maximum Fury, ![]() |
![]() |
Burrowed Q: Prey SeekerSince this ability deals Magic Damage, it won't be used as a damaging tool. Instead, since it reveals enemies, it is used as a long range Scouting tool, since, while burrowed, ![]() |
![]() |
Burrowed W: UnburrowThis ability is probably the most important ability while ganking along with ![]() NOTE: You can use ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Burrowed E: TunnelRek'Sai's unique mechanic of setting down tunnels is a vital part of her kit. It has many uses: gap-closing, escaping, crossing terrain and vital for ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are some good locations for you to use your ![]() -Base (for easy escapes) -One for each jungle quarter -Baron / Dragon -As many near lanes as possible for easy counter-ganks |
![]() |
R: Void RushRek'Sai's ultimate is mostly used as utility, since it has no direct offensive capabilities. It is a double-edged sword, because at level 3 she has all ganking tools at her disposal, but at level 6 falls short to most junglers who have a more impactful ultimate ability, like ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Using this ability correctly relies on having many Tunnels across the map for global pressure. It is mostly used to get back to farming after a Recall, but can be vital for cross-map plays, returning full-life to a teamfight, escaping (it's super fun to do), and many other uses. |
Since Rek'Sai is resourceless, it isn't necessary for her to have a Blue Buff, so, you should always start at the Red Buff side, right? Not necessarily, because Rek'Sai benefits from a very cheese technique that can lead to many easy First Bloods, especially in low elo, but I'll talk about this later.
Because of our void mistress's passive, it is really easy to clear jungle camps if done correctly. Try to reset you auto attacks using
Queen's Wrath, and always knock the jungle monsters up whenever possible. If your first clear isn't the smoothest, do the Rift Scuttler, since you can reduce its armor and MR by unburrowing beneath him and generate some Fury as well. If you don't plan on invading, start opposite to the side of the lane you want to gank. For example, if you're planning to gank Top lane and you're in blue team, start at the Kroogs.
As I was saying earlier, Rek'Sai is great at invading. To do this properly, you should know how good the enemy jungler's first clear is. Examples of junglers with a bad first clear:
Nidalee,
Rengar,
Sejuani,
Evelynn,
Kindred, etc. and also know which side they start on. You can ask for your laners to ward Kroogs or Gromp, if necessary (you should keep your trinket). If you manage to get into their respective buff's bush while they are clearing, wait for them to get low on HP and quickly
Prey Seeker
Unburrow
Queen's Wrath. Try to knock them up for as long as possible so they don't
Flash and use your
Queen's Wrath as soon as you
Unburrow, it should be enough to finish them off.
NOTE: ALWAYS look at your minimap for any suspicious moves by the enemy laners. Even if you do blow the enemy jungler's
Flash, try not to chase for too long as you might get ambushed.
As Rek'Sai, you always want to keep pressure on the opposite jungler, so ward often (more on this later) and steal their camps when possible, and always scatter the map with Tunnels.

As I've previously mentioned, Rek'Sai's kit is great for ganking as soon as level 3, but it is necessary to learn her mechanics in order to maximize the effectiveness of the gank. Engage the gank always in burrowed form, Prey Seeker them for vision, tunnel behind the enemy (you can cross terrain and make for really interesting ganks, pics below) and when the time is right, unburrow and use your damaging abilities. Your laner should follow-up while they're knocked up. So, recapping:
Burrow ->
Prey Seeker ->
Tunnel ->
Unburrow ->
Queen's Wrath ->
Furious Bite
Here are a few tunnel locations to help you get into position to gank really easily. Keep in mind that there are endless possibilities of tunnels.
(Note that I've only taken pictures from the blue team, but can be applied to the opposite lane, example, the top tunnel can be used in red team bot lane and vice versa).
> Top Lane


> Mid Lane


> Bot Lane

If you're following any of the build I've shown above, then your job in the team is to either peel for your carries if there are any other champions who engage in your team or to engage a fight and knock as many people up as possible for your team to follow up on. You should be taking most of the damage during team fights and let your carries deal damage. If there's a fight in the jungle, try to flank through a wall with
Tunnel and engage. If not, just
Tunnel straight into the enemy team and engage the fight that way.
Note: Maybe the most effective method to engage or pick someone off is to
Burrow
Flash onto your target. It'll leave them with no time to react whatsoever and they won't be expecting the knock up since you'll be far away.

This is it. I hope you enjoyed not only the guide, but the champion as well. Please comment, as this is my first guide and I'm curious to see what the MobaFire community has to say about it :)
Any suggestions to add to this post or for me to make a guide for another champion (as long as I can play it, of course, hahahahah), let me know. I'll do my best.
