Ekko into Rek'Saimedium

Overview

Prioritize efficient full clears or five-camp routes into lanes with setup to maximize early tempo and avoid risky early river fights.
Use from fog or brush before dragon or Void Grubs to control objective entrances and create pick opportunities.
Focus on scaling through AP items and level 6 to become a strong mid-game skirmisher with burst and mobility.

Jungle Plan

Path for a full clear or five-camp route into a lane with setup to use for forced ganks or picks before Rek'Sai can establish pressure.
Fight for Scuttle Crab and river control only when your lanes can move first to back you up and deny Rek'Sai's tunnel advantage.
Use tempo resets after successful ganks to arrive first at objectives like dragon or Rift Herald and pressure Rek'Sai's weaker scaling.

Danger windows

Rek'Sai's early invade and gank pressure before level 6 is very high; avoid isolated river fights and low-health clears.
Forced smite fights around early dragon or Scuttle when Rek'Sai has lane priority can be lethal; only contest with lane support.
Rek'Sai's knockup and execute create all-in threat windows; respect these by maintaining vision and avoiding overextensions.

Early game

Start with a full clear or five-camp clear to hit level 6 safely while minimizing early risk against Rek'Sai's high early pressure.
Avoid early river fights unless nearby lanes have priority to support, as Rek'Sai's early gank and invade threat is very high.
Contest first Scuttle only when you have lane priority or vision advantage to reduce risk of Rek'Sai counter-invades.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks -- combo, enabling reliable burst trades and ganks; use this to threaten Rek'Sai before she snowballs.
Level 6 grants safety and reset potential; track Rek'Sai's ultimate to confidently commit to fights or disengage.
First completed AP burst item increases damage and trade reliability; pressure lanes and contest objectives more aggressively at this point.

Win conditions

Convert efficient clears and lane setups into early ganks with stuns to snowball lanes and deny Rek'Sai farm.
Use mobility and to counter-gank Rek'Sai's early pressure and punish overextensions.
Prioritize dragon and Rift Herald control after level 6 to leverage your scaling and burst for mid-game skirmishes and objective fights.
