Warwick vs Rek'Sai

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Warwick's early dueling and sustain let him contest Rek'Sai's aggressive early jungle pressure if he tracks tunnels and lane priority well.
Prioritize river control and Scuttle fights to deny Rek'Sai's early gank angles and snowball attempts.
This is an early snowball matchup where Warwick must leverage his sustain and suppression to punish Rek'Sai's burst ganks and secure objectives.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes with low-health enemies and use (W) to track Rek'Sai's position for opportunistic ganks.
Contest river vision and Scuttle control aggressively when lanes can follow up, denying Rek'Sai's early objective setups.
Use sustained dueling and (E) fear to punish Rek'Sai if she overextends or misses tunnel escapes during counter-jungle attempts.

Danger windows

Rek'Sai's early three-camp into gank path creates high risk for isolated river fights before Warwick reaches level 3.
Forced smite fights around first dragon or Scuttle require caution due to Rek'Sai's burst and knockup.
Warwick is vulnerable during low-health clears or after missing (E) fear, as Rek'Sai can capitalize on reduced sustain.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach level 3 quickly and contest Rek'Sai's three-camp into gank pathing.
Fight for first Scuttle Crab only when your nearby lanes have priority to safely contest Rek'Sai's tunnel vision.
Avoid extended fights early without vision on Rek'Sai's tunnels to reduce risk of counter-invades or burst knockups.

Power spikes

At level 3, Warwick gains full kit sustain and fear, enabling stronger extended fights against Rek'Sai's burst.
Level 6 unlocks (R) suppression, letting Warwick force picks or all-ins from range to punish Rek'Sai's aggressive ganks.
First dueling or tank item spike increases Warwick's durability and objective control, allowing safer invades and fights.

Win conditions

Convert early dueling wins and Scuttle control into dragon and Rift Herald setups with lane priority.
Use (W) to track low-health targets and (R) to lock down overextended enemies for kills and objective pressure.
Deny Rek'Sai free farm and full clears by counter-jungling when lanes can assist, snowballing Warwick's early lead into mid-game dominance.
