Rek'Sai vs Viego

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Rek'Sai aims to leverage superior early-game pressure and fast clears to establish river control and deny Viego safe farming.
Prioritize aggressive three-camp clears into early invades or counter-ganks to snowball before Viego's scaling resets become a threat.

Jungle Plan

Use tunnels to invade and contest camps early, focusing on lanes without flash or crowd control to maximize gank threat.
Prioritize river control and Scuttle vision to deny Viego safe pathing and force him into reactive plays.
Counter-gank aggressively when tracking Viego's pathing toward lanes lacking priority to secure early takedowns and snowball objectives.

Danger windows

Beware of isolated river fights where Viego can use (E) camouflage and (W) stun to initiate resets.
Avoid forced smite fights when Viego is healthy and his (R) is ready to reposition and execute low targets.
Respect moments when Viego's lanes have priority, increasing risk of counter-ganks or collapsed fights.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear to reach level 3 quickly and pressure lanes or invade before Viego can safely contest.
Fight for first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to support or counter-gank Viego's approach.
Avoid extended fights early if Viego's reset (R) is available without a clear low-health target to punish.

Power spikes

Rek'Sai's level 3 power spike enables strong early ganks and invades; use (W) knockup to disrupt Viego's engage.
Respect Viego's level 6 spike with (R) execute and reset potential; avoid isolated fights without lane support.
Rek'Sai's early clear speed and mobility outpace Viego's medium clear; use this to force tempo and invade before Viego's first fighter item.

Win conditions

Convert early tempo leads from fast clears and tunnel ganks into repeated invades denying Viego farm and jungle control.
Use vision and river dominance to force skirmishes where Viego cannot safely reset, securing dragons and Rift Herald.
Snowball through objective control and lane pressure to close the game before Viego scales into a powerful reset carry.
