Rek'Sai into Kindredmedium

Overview

Use Rek'Sai's superior early clear speed and tunnel mobility to invade Kindred before marks accumulate.
Focus on early Scuttle control and aggressive tunnel ganks to deny Kindred's mark scaling.
Leverage Rek'Sai's high early pressure to snowball lanes and force Kindred into reactive play.

Prioritize invading Kindred's jungle camps to disrupt their mark acquisition and scaling.
Use tunnels to repeatedly gank flashless or low-mobility lanes and snowball leads.
Control river vision and contest Scuttle Crabs when lanes can assist, then force early dragon fights to leverage numbers advantage.

Avoid low-health clears or isolated river fights without tunnel escape to prevent being caught.
Do not contest forced smite fights near Kindred's reset window where they out-sustain.
Respect Kindred's ranged poke and mobility from when contesting marks without lane priority.

Begin with a three-camp clear then look to invade or counter-gank using tunnels for surprise angles.
Contest first Scuttle only when your nearby lanes have priority to avoid losing river fights.
Avoid extended fights if Kindred's lanes control river vision; use tunnels to disengage or reposition.

Spike at level 3 with access to tunnels and knockup; use this to force early fights and ganks.
Exploit Kindred's weaker early clears before their mark scaling and resets become threatening.
Use execute to secure kills after successful ganks and extend snowball pressure.

Convert early invade and gank tempo into securing dragons and Rift Herald before Kindred scales.
Deny Kindred's mark scaling by aggressive counter-jungling and repeated pressure on their camps.
Use tunnels to maintain map control, enabling cross-map plays and punishing Kindred's slower early dueling and clear speed.
