Rek'Sai vs Nasus

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Rek'Sai is a high-mobility early ganker and invader aiming to snowball before Nasus scales.
Use Rek'Sai's superior early clear speed and invade resistance to contest river and camps aggressively and deny Nasus farm and stacks.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize early invades and counter-jungling before Nasus builds meaningful (Q) stacks and durability.
Use tunnels to pressure flashless lanes repeatedly and contest dragon and Rift Herald when lane priority allows.
Track Nasus's jungle pathing to set up counter-ganks and force him off camps to delay his scaling.

Danger windows

Beware isolated river fights and forced smite contests around early objectives where Nasus can use (W) slow and (R) durability.
Avoid invading when Nasus has lane priority or when Rek'Sai's health is low after clears.
Respect the 15-20 minute window where Nasus becomes a significant threat if left unchecked; avoid extended fights without team support.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into early gank or invade to leverage Rek'Sai's fast clear and strong level 3 presence.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support and avoid risky isolated river fights.
Avoid prolonged fights if Nasus reaches level 6 with (R) active before Rek'Sai can snowball advantage.

Power spikes

Rek'Sai spikes early with level 3 and tunnel ganks; use (W) knockup and (R) execute to secure kills before Nasus scales.
Respect Nasus's level 6 (R) spike which grants durability and extended fight threat; avoid all-ins during this window.
Punish Nasus before he reaches high (Q) stacks and item thresholds that enable strong side-lane dueling.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo and successful invades into dragon and Rift Herald control to snowball lanes.
Use tunnel ganks to repeatedly pressure side lanes, denying Nasus safe farm and delaying his (Q) stacking.
Deny Nasus free farm by invading camps and forcing him into reactive play before he scales into a side-lane threat.
