Poppy into Rek'Saimedium

Overview

Prioritize river terrain control to maximize wall stuns and dash denial against Rek'Sai's tunnels.
Disrupt Rek'Sai's early tempo by invading with lane priority and forcing her off camps.
Use to isolate Rek'Sai during objective fights and deny her early numbers advantage.

Use three-camp into gank or invade paths focused on lanes with terrain to leverage stuns.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to deny Rek'Sai vision and river access.
Track Rek'Sai's tunnels and pathing to set up counter-ganks and use to disrupt her at Dragon and Herald.

Rek'Sai's early invade and tunnel gank windows before your level 6 are high risk; avoid isolated fights without lane priority.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle or objectives if Rek'Sai's nearby lanes can collapse first.
Avoid low-health clears near river entrances where Rek'Sai can punish with knockup and chase.

Start with a three-camp clear into river Scuttle to contest Rek'Sai's first move and establish vision.
Avoid extended fights away from walls where Rek'Sai's mobility and knockup are strongest.
Be ready to counter-invade or counter-gank when Rek'Sai commits to early aggressive paths near terrain.

Level 6: Use to remove Rek'Sai from fights or reset bad objective contests.
First tank item spike: Hold to deny Rek'Sai's dash engages and increase durability.
Rek'Sai's early level 3 pressure is strong; respect her fast clears and avoid isolated river fights without vision.

Convert terrain control and wall stuns into successful counter-ganks around river objectives.
Use to reset or disengage bad fights, denying Rek'Sai's early numbers advantage.
Deny Rek'Sai free farm by invading with lane priority and force her into unfavorable fights before she snowballs.
