Evelynn vs Rek'Sai

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Evelynn must survive Rek'Sai's early invade and gank pressure by protecting her first two clears and avoiding low-health river paths.
This is a scaling vs early snowball matchup where Evelynn relies on reaching level 6 and using camouflage for picks and objective control.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clear and avoid predictable low-health river paths to reduce early invade risk.
Contest Scuttle only when your lanes have priority and Rek'Sai is visible on the opposite side of the map.
After level 6, path through fog and use camouflage to punish pushed or isolated lanes and secure objectives like dragon and Rift Herald.

Danger windows

Rek'Sai's early level 3 tunnel ganks create high invade and counter-jungle threat; avoid low-health camps near river.
Isolated river fights before Evelynn hits 6 are risky due to Rek'Sai's knockup and execute chase.
Forced smite fights early can be lost if Rek'Sai gains numbers advantage through tunnels and early pressure.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach level 6 safely before contesting river or camps.
Avoid early Scuttle fights unless nearby lanes have clear priority to back up counter-ganks.
Use control wards and sweeper to secure safe post-6 flank routes and track Rek'Sai's tunnel paths.

Power spikes

Evelynn's level 6 camouflage unlocks high gank threat and pick potential; use it to flank and force objectives.
Rek'Sai's early level 3 with tunnels enables strong ganks and invades; respect this window by avoiding isolated camps.
Evelynn's AP scaling post-6 makes her a stronger threat in mid to late game skirmishes and objective fights.

Win conditions

Survive early clears and avoid Rek'Sai's early invade; reach level 6 to unlock stealth and gank threat.
Use post-6 camouflage to flank, punish overextended lanes, and secure dragons and Rift Herald with your team.
Deny Rek'Sai free farm by counter-jungling when lanes have priority and use vision control to force her into unfavorable fights.
