Kindred vs Rek'Sai

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize contesting marks only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky early fights.
Use Kindred's ranged mobility and scaling to kite Rek'Sai in river skirmishes and secure objective control.

Jungle Plan

Path around expected mark spawns and lane priority to secure marks and deny Rek'Sai's early tempo.
Contest river control and Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to leverage ranged dueling advantage.
Track Rek'Sai's first clear and be ready to counter-gank her early three-camp into gank path to punish overextension and protect objectives.

Danger windows

Rek'Sai's early invade and gank window before level 6 is high risk; avoid isolated river fights without lane priority or vision.
Be cautious contesting forced smite fights early as Rek'Sai's fast clear and knockup can win duels.
Low-health clears expose Kindred to Rek'Sai's burst and knockup; reset or retreat when below half health in enemy jungle.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear focusing on marks to maintain tempo and avoid early Rek'Sai invades.
Fight for first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first and provide counter-gank support.
Avoid direct early fights without vision as Rek'Sai's early gank threat and tunnel mobility can punish overextensions.

Power spikes

Kindred's marks and item scaling create a strong late-game carry power spike; use this to pressure objectives and skirmishes.
Rek'Sai's early level 3 with tunnel gank angles and knockup demands respect; avoid fighting her before securing vision and lane priority.
Kindred's (R) provides fight resets that can turn extended objective fights in your favor; leverage this to outlast Rek'Sai in skirmishes.

Win conditions

Use lane priority to secure marks and kite Rek'Sai in river fights, denying her early snowball opportunities.
Leverage ranged damage and (R) to control extended objective fights like Dragon and Rift Herald.
Maintain vision control to track Rek'Sai's tunnels and counter-gank her early pressure, scaling into a dominant late-game carry role.
