Jax into Rek'Saimedium

Overview

Prioritize safe full clears to reach level 4 before contesting Scuttle or fighting Rek'Sai.
Focus on river vision and contest Scuttle only with lane priority to limit Rek'Sai's tunnel ganks.
Track Rek'Sai's early three-camp path to anticipate ganks and position for counter-ganks.

Secure top-side camps and contest Scuttle only when lanes have priority and Rek'Sai is absent.
Invade Rek'Sai's jungle only after gaining tempo lead or when she commits elsewhere.
Coordinate with priority lanes to control dragon and Rift Herald, denying Rek'Sai early objectives.

Rek'Sai's level 3 three-camp clear and gank window create high invade and counter-gank risk.
Avoid isolated river fights and Scuttle contests without lane priority to prevent quick Rek'Sai reinforcement.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights before level 6 leave you vulnerable to Rek'Sai aggression.

Start with a full clear to safely hit level 4 and avoid Rek'Sai's level 3 gank power.
Avoid early river fights unless your lanes have priority and Rek'Sai is visible on the opposite side.
Use vision to track Rek'Sai's position and prepare for counter-ganks or safe farming.

Level 6 enhances durability and sustained damage; use to contest Rek'Sai's aggression.
Two-item spike boosts splitpush threat; force Rek'Sai to respond to side-lane pressure.
Respect Rek'Sai's level 3 tunnel gank power before your level 6 and item breakpoints.

Use side-lane priority after two-item spike to force Rek'Sai responses and open map for your team.
Leverage vision and tracking to counter-gank Rek'Sai's tunnel ganks and deny her snowball.
Prioritize dragon and Rift Herald with lane priority to capitalize on your scaling dueling power.
