Rek'Sai Jungle builds combine strong early-game presence with strategic map control. Here's the most effective setup for Patch 14.24:

Core Build (52.8% WR, 14,212 matches)

  • Summoner Spells: Flash, Smite
  • Starting Items: Emberknife, Health Potion
  • Core Items: Stridebreaker, Plated Steelcaps, Black Cleaver
  • Final Items: Sterak's Gage, Death's Dance, Spirit Visage

Runes Primary (Precision):

  • Conqueror
  • Triumph
  • Legend: Alacrity
  • Coup de Grace

Secondary (Inspiration):

  • Magical Footwear
  • Cosmic Insight

Shards: Attack Speed + Adaptive Force + Health Scaling

Skill Order: Q > E > W

Key Tips:

  1. Stay Burrowed (W) when not fighting to maximize vision with Tremor Sense
  2. Use creative tunnel paths for unexpected ganking angles
  3. Focus on early game skirmishes where Rek'Sai excels

Strong Against:

  • Shyvana (58.2% WR)
  • Ambessa (56.8% WR)
  • Sylas (55.6% WR)

Weak Against:

  • Xin Zhao (47.3% WR)
  • Rammus (47.9% WR)
  • Karthus (48.7% WR)

Best Synergies:

  • Zac (58.7% WR)
  • Cassiopeia (58.0% WR)
  • Illaoi (57.0% WR)

Alternative Build (53.5% WR, 737 matches): Replace Stridebreaker with Eclipse as first item, keeping other items same.

Off-Meta Build (54.3% WR, 634 matches): Use Hail of Blades rune setup with similar item build, focusing on burst damage potential.

Adjust build path based on enemy composition, prioritizing armor against AD-heavy teams or magic resist against AP threats.
