Rek'Sai vs Vi

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Rek'Sai excels at early tunnel ganks and invades, aiming to snowball before Vi stabilizes with her lockdown and objective control.
Use Rek'Sai's faster clear and high invade resistance to contest river and force Vi off camps early.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize early tunnel ganks on flashless or low-mobility lanes to build tempo and deny Vi's scaling.
Use tunnels to revisit volatile lanes and contest dragon or Rift Herald entrances before Vi can set up.
Counter-gank Vi's early river pressure by tracking her pathing and responding with numbers advantage.

Danger windows

Respect Vi's early (Q) dash knockback as it enables her to win isolated river fights and duels.
Avoid overcommitting to smite fights or objectives when Vi has lane priority and (R) available.
Rek'Sai is vulnerable during low-health clears; use tunnels to escape if counter-jungling or invaded.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into an early invade or counter-gank to exploit Rek'Sai's superior early pressure.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to secure vision and objective control.
Avoid extended fights if Vi lands (Q) dash knockback or if lanes lack flash to counter-gank Vi's lockdown.

Power spikes

Rek'Sai's level 3 with access to tunnels and (W) knockup enables strong early ganks; push this advantage to snowball lanes.
Vi's level 6 lockdown (R) demands caution; avoid fights without lane priority or vision to prevent guaranteed picks.
Rek'Sai's (R) execute chase is a key power spike to finish off low-health targets during skirmishes.

Win conditions

Convert early tunnel ganks and invades into dragon and Rift Herald control to deny Vi scaling opportunities.
Use superior clear speed and invade resistance to maintain jungle tempo and force Vi into reactive pathing.
Snowball lanes by repeat-ganking flashless targets and contesting objectives before Vi can leverage lockdown.
