Master Yi vs Rek'Sai

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears to reach your first item spike before engaging Rek'Sai in fights.
Avoid early river skirmishes unless your lanes have clear priority and can follow up.
This is a scaling carry vs early snowball fighter matchup; focus on tempo and item progression.

Jungle Plan

Focus on efficient camp sequencing and cross-map farming to reach your item power spikes.
Contest river vision and Scuttle when your lanes can move first to deny Rek'Sai early pressure.
Avoid direct early invades; instead, counter-jungle after Rek'Sai commits to aggressive plays elsewhere.

Danger windows

Rek'Sai's early three-camp into gank path creates high invade risk before you hit level 6.
Avoid isolated river fights without lane priority to prevent getting caught by her knockup (W).
Be cautious contesting objectives early as Rek'Sai can force fights with her mobility and crowd control.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maintain tempo and avoid early Rek'Sai invades.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Track Rek'Sai's tunnel paths to anticipate her early ganks and avoid isolated fights.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to clean up fights after Rek'Sai's knockup and engage abilities are used.
First item completion significantly boosts your damage and objective speed; maintain high camp tempo to reach it.
Rek'Sai's early pressure peaks before level 6; respect her gank threat until you have your reset potential.

Win conditions

Use superior clear speed to reach item spikes and punish Rek'Sai's overextensions post-CC usage.
Convert jungle tempo into objective control by prioritizing dragon and Rift Herald when Rek'Sai is forced off map.
Leverage (Q) and (R) resets to clean up low-health targets after Rek'Sai commits her crowd control in fights.
