Rek'Sai vs Wukong

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Rek'Sai aims to leverage her very high early game pressure and fast clear speed to invade and snowball before Wukong hits level 6.
Focus on using tunnel paths and early ganks to deny Wukong free farm and prevent him from safely scaling into teamfight power.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize early invades before Wukong reaches level 6 to deny his scaling and force him off camps.
Use tunnel angles to execute surprise ganks on flashless or low-mobility lanes to snowball leads.
Control river vision and set up for dragon and Rift Herald fights when your lanes have priority to limit Wukong's engage potential.

Danger windows

Avoid fighting Wukong in isolated river skirmishes after he reaches level 6 and has access to (R) cyclone knockup.
Be cautious contesting objectives if your lanes lack priority, as Wukong can capitalize on his engage to turn fights.
Rek'Sai is vulnerable during low-health clears; avoid overextending without tunnel escape routes or vision control.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into an early invade or counter-invade to punish Wukong's medium early pressure.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to back up river fights.
Use tunnels to maintain vision and quick rotations around volatile lanes and objectives like dragon and Rift Herald.

Power spikes

Rek'Sai spikes strongly at level 3 with full tunnel access and knockup, enabling early ganks and invades; use this to force Wukong off camps.
Wukong's main power spike is level 6 with (R) knockup; respect his engage threat and avoid isolated river fights after he hits 6.
Rek'Sai's knockup (W) and execute (R) provide strong dueling potential pre-6; look for fights when Wukong's dash (E) is on cooldown.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo into repeated tunnel ganks to snowball lanes and deny Wukong safe farm.
Use superior invade resistance and fast clear speed to counter-jungle Wukong and control dragon and Rift Herald setups.
Maintain river control and track Wukong's pathing to counter-gank his level 6 engages and force favorable teamfights early.
