How to play as Rek'Sai, the Void Burrower.
hello everyone JellyJackJak22 here with my 2 cents on how to play the new Champion Rek'Sai
.
Top Lane AD Fighter Rek'Sai -aka- Submarine Rek'Sai after i got Rek'Sai i have played her nonstop & i realized that i like playing her in the Top Lane as a AD Fighter in stead of her Jungle Gameplay (because i'm not as good as other Players who are pros at being Junglers), now playing Rek'Sai in the Top Lane all about staying underground & playing passively by placing your tunnels & using your Burrowed Q to poke & harass your lane opponent the only time where you Unburrow is to clear minion waves & maybe deal a little damage to your opponent. now i'm gonna show you the Summoner Spells, Items & my Ability Order I take when I play Rek'Sai in the Top Lane.
Summoner Spells: for the Summoner Spells i take
&
. now people have told me countles time if you play the Top Lane take
, but i don't because as the game goes on i find it a worthless Spell to have especially in the late game because when Rek'Sai gets her Ultimate she can pratically Teleport anywhere you want as long as you have a Tunnel there.

Ability Order & Gameplay now when you play Submarine Rek'Sai the 1st Ability must take is your W, it gives you a nice Movement Speed boost & when your in lane its Knock Up gives Rek'Sai a nice little breathing space if she is getting hammered by her lane opponent also after you build up Furry then using your W to burrow you can then Heal yourself if you taken to much damage this way you have nice lane sustain. for the 2nd Ability to take is your Q so you can have Wave Clear & means of racking up your Furry so your W's heal can be used & when you reach Lv. 3 take your E so you can place your tunnels so you have Lane Control by means of juking around your opponent & have a nice escape if you manage to keep your tunnels up. the main gimmick of Submarine Rek'Sai is staying underground & poke your opponent from a distance & keeping yourself safe & healthy while at times emerging to clear the minions & rack up your Furry for your heal, so play safe until you have reached Lv. 6 where you can Ult on Tunnels so you can get to your lane faster if you have to B back or if you die, as for the main Leveling order when you reach Lv. 4 i advise maxxing your Q 1st, your E 2nd & finally max out your W last & everyone knows when to take their Ult. when it comes down to Team Fights Rek'Sai should stick close to her teammates & wait for your Tanks or your allies use their CC Abilities to weaken the enemy team then you go in for the kill but make sure you have at least 1 or 2 tunnels preped early on so you have an escape in case things go south for your team.
if you have a question or details i left out of this post (i had a more detailed post but for some reason i hit a key that has erased everything) please leave a comment below on what you think of my playstyle of Rek'Sai or if you any questions on how it works.
