Karthus into Rek'Saimedium

Overview

Prioritize full clears to reach your first AP item and level 6 safely before contesting.
Use your global to impact fights after skirmishes without being physically present.
Respect Rek'Sai's early invade threat by avoiding low-health river entries and unpredictable paths.

Cycle camps efficiently to hit your first AP item spike before contesting objectives.
Contest Scuttle only when your lanes have priority and Rek'Sai's early pressure is accounted for.
Track Rek'Sai's tunnel ganks and position near vulnerable lanes to counter-gank effectively.

Rek'Sai's early invade and level 3 gank window is dangerous; avoid low-health clears near river without vision.
Isolated river fights before your first reset risk losing tempo; only contest with lane priority.
Forced smite fights on early objectives can be risky; prioritize vision to avoid losing these engagements.

Start with a full clear path toward your safe side to maximize clear speed and item timing.
Avoid early river fights unless your lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Use wards to track Rek'Sai's first clear and ping lanes for potential invades or ganks.

Level 6 unlocks global damage; use it to finish low-health enemies after fights.
First AP item boosts clear speed and objective damage; use this tempo to secure dragons and Rift Herald.
Rek'Sai's early level 3 power spike requires avoiding isolated fights and focusing on safe farming.

Convert your superior clear speed and scaling into early objective control by arriving first with vision.
Use after fights start or enemies drop low to secure kills and snowball advantages.
Punish Rek'Sai's extended fights in objective areas by stacking and damage to deny tempo.
