Vi is a strong early skirmisher and objective enforcer who must leverage her lockdown to punish Rek'Sai's aggressive early ganks and invades.
Prioritize controlling river vision and contesting Scuttle Crabs to deny Rek'Sai's tunnel advantage and limit her early map pressure.
Jungle Plan
Use efficient clear speed to match Rek'Sai's tempo and path toward lanes where (Q) ganks can force flashes and create picks.
Track Rek'Sai's tunnel placements and be ready to counter-gank or invade when she commits to aggressive plays.
Prioritize early dragon and Rift Herald control by leveraging (R) lockdown to secure objectives and deny Rek'Sai's smite access.
Danger windows
Rek'Sai's early invade and tunnel gank attempts create high-risk windows around level 3; avoid fighting without lane priority or vision.
Isolated river fights without vision control are dangerous due to Rek'Sai's knockup and execute chase (W) and (R).
Low-health clears or forced smite fights near objectives can be punished by Rek'Sai's high dueling and invade resistance; avoid these unless supported.
Early game
Start with a three-camp clear to hit level 3 quickly and look for early ganks on lanes with flash down to force Rek'Sai back.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Rek'Sai's strong early tunnel ganks.
Avoid extended fights early without lane support, as missing (Q) or lane collapse can leave Vi vulnerable to Rek'Sai's burst and mobility.
Power spikes
Level 6 spike grants Vi guaranteed lockdown with (R), enabling reliable picks and objective setups; force Rek'Sai to respect post-6 all-ins.
Early three-camp clear to level 3 boosts Vi's gank threat; use this window to pressure lanes before Rek'Sai can snowball.
Rek'Sai's early tunnel gank threat peaks before level 6; Vi must respect this by securing vision and avoiding isolated river fights.
Win conditions
Convert early ganks and level 6 lockdown into dragon and Rift Herald control by coordinating with laners holding priority.
Use superior dueling and objective control to deny Rek'Sai free farm and scaling, forcing her into reactive plays.
Maintain vision dominance around river and jungle entrances to track Rek'Sai's tunnels and set up counter-ganks or safe invades.
