Shaco into Rek'Saimedium

Overview

Use deceptive early paths and box control to disrupt Rek'Sai's tunnel ganks and invade attempts.
Prioritize unpredictable jungle routes and river box setups to maintain map pressure.
Exploit Rek'Sai's reliance on tunnel vision by counter-invading and forcing unfavorable fights.

Set boxes around dragon and river entrances early to control objectives and vision.
Invade Rek'Sai's jungle when you have lane priority or spot her on the opposite side.
Track Rek'Sai's three-camp into gank routes to counter-gank and contest dragon or Void Grubs.

Rek'Sai's early invade timing and tunnel ganks create high-risk isolated river fights.
Avoid low-health clears near contested Scuttle or dragon to prevent losing forced smite fights.
Respect Rek'Sai's counter-gank potential when her lanes have priority; avoid extended jungle presence.

Start with a fast clear using boxes to keep healthy and enable level 2 or 3 cheese ganks.
Contest first Scuttle only if your nearby lanes have priority to avoid Rek'Sai's counter-ganks.
Avoid predictable paths after Rek'Sai spots your box placements to maintain surprise and safety.

Level 2 and 3 power spikes enable strong cheese ganks and early invades.
Your invisibility and fear boxes increase gank threat and invade resistance.
Rek'Sai peaks early with tunnel ganks and knockup ; avoid isolated river fights before level 6.

Convert early jungle tempo and camp steals into dragon and Rift Herald control using box vision.
Use deceptive gank paths and invisibility to pressure flashless or overextended lanes.
Deny Rek'Sai free farm by invading safely after lane priority and force her into bad fights or recalls.
