Lee Sin vs Rek'Sai

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Lee Sin must leverage his very high early game pressure to force river fights and invade before Rek'Sai finishes full clears.
Prioritize early tempo and skirmishes to snowball advantage since Rek'Sai falls off if she doesn't snowball early.

Jungle Plan

Use your level 3 power spike to invade Rek'Sai when lanes can move first and force river skirmishes.
Contest Scuttle Crab aggressively to deny Rek'Sai's tunnel vision and objective setups.
Track Rek'Sai's first gank path and be ready to counter-gank or invade her jungle camps when she commits to ganks.

Danger windows

Respect Rek'Sai's early invade timing around her level 3 three-camp clear and tunnel gank paths.
Avoid isolated river fights without lane priority, as Rek'Sai can use knockup and mobility to punish.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Rek'Sai has vision and can tunnel in for forced smite fights or counter-engages.

Early game

Start with a path that enables a level 3 invade or counter-invade, using your moderate clear speed to mix camps and pressure.
Fight for first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to deny Rek'Sai vision and control.
Avoid low-value fights if Rek'Sai shows early presence near your jungle entrances without lane priority to back you up.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full kit, enabling strong dueling and invade potential; path toward Rek'Sai's jungle when lanes allow.
Level 6 (R) lets you isolate targets and disrupt Rek'Sai's objective control; use displacement to secure kills or peel.
Rek'Sai is most dangerous when she reaches level 3 with tunnel control and knockup; respect her early gank angles and mobility.

Win conditions

Convert early invade pressure and river control into dragon and Rift Herald setups before Rek'Sai stabilizes.
Use your mobility and (Q) to create creative gank angles and snowball lanes lacking flash or escape.
Deny Rek'Sai free farm by invading and counter-jungling camps when lanes have priority, forcing her into risky paths.
