Elise into Rek'Saimedium

Overview

Use Elise's very high early gank threat and burst to snowball lanes before Rek'Sai's tempo ramps up.
Prioritize early three-camp clears into ganks or invades to punish Rek'Sai's faster clear.
Track Rek'Sai with wards to avoid full clears that let her scale safely and to plan counter-invades.

Use early three-camp clears into ganks or invades to deny Rek'Sai farm and force her off camps.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle when your lanes can assist to gain objective tempo.
Track Rek'Sai's tunnel placements and prepare to counter-gank or cross-map when she commits to early ganks.

Rek'Sai's early tunnel ganks and knockup make river fights risky without lane backup.
Avoid contesting objectives without lane support as Rek'Sai can force smite fights or disengage with tunnels.
Low-health clears expose you to counter-invades; back off if Rek'Sai is nearby or better positioned.

Start with a three-camp clear then look for early ganks or invade paths with kill potential.
Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes have priority to collapse and secure river control.
Avoid full clears against Rek'Sai's faster clear speed; focus on tempo and lanes that can snowball.

Elise's level 3 with cocoon and rappel enables lethal early ganks and dives.
Rek'Sai's early tunnel ganks and knockup create high threat windows; avoid isolated river fights then.
Elise's early burst outduels Rek'Sai if you catch her out of position before she completes her fast clear.

Convert early gank and invade pressure into lane leads by securing kills or forcing Rek'Sai off camps.
Use superior burst and cocoon to secure first Scuttle and dragon control with lane help.
Snowball leads by diving priority lanes early and maintaining river vision to deny Rek'Sai repeat ganks or counter-jungling.
