I've been using BOTRK on Rek'Sai almost all games, sometimes Trinity Force, what do you think about those two items?

LordGrox (1) | February 7, 2024 12:26am
Both item's can work but I would not recommend them. Trinity is okay but it is quite pricy and the stats don't make up for it in comparison to other available bruiser items. BOTRK is generally not something you ever want. On-Hit is bad as Rek'Sai scales purely with bonus AD and does not want to base herself around auto-attacks.

For that reason neither of those 2 are in the guide right not. Trinity could be an option soon if PBE changes come through, we will have to see about that.

At the moment, all your gifs are not working, since gfycat is no longer there, as I understand it.


It's just information, I liked it anyway)

I saw it, thanks for letting me know. It will have to stay this way for now unfortunately as I'm strapped on time and motivation atm. I'll rework those parts of the guide once the new season hits!

The best Rek'sai guide, it fit so well to me, because I learned Rek'sai with you few patchs of the buffs and now I'm stomping with the champion

Hello! Very well-made guide, my friend!

I am very curious as to why the new build(and arguably playstyle) for Rek'Sai has shifted from assassin/burst to bruiser. I do understand that it's because of the recent buffs, but the buffs don't seem big enough for such a drastic shift in playstyle.

Please do let me know! Best of luck!

Hey there, glad to hear you like the guide. To answer your question, it's a multitude of factors:

1. Rek'Sai has lost her Assassin item. Old Prowler's Claw was the main reason that the burst style was possible in the first place. Rek'Sai struggles greatly with gap-closing and sticking to enemies. When you build assassin that is a no-go, as any time spent chasing the enemy is time spent they kite you, which you cant tank.

2. The changes incentivize building HP - the buffed passive benefits about 200 extra heal at lvl18 full build. It may sound like a small heal, but due to the fact that you constantly use it you get a lot of healing. Additionally, the new buffed Q is better the longer you stay in fights, as you can get more uses out of it.

Even before the changes, bruiser Rek'Sai was possible, it was just simply worse than the assassin build. With the new changes, it's the only real remaining build, but due to the changes, it is now also a lot better.

When should you pick HoB or Electrocute?
1
LordGrox (1) | June 4, 2023 12:43pm
Generally, this is up to you and your preferred playstyle. Personally, I will always recommend Conqueror, but there are high elo players who do prefer Hail or Electrocute.

With the new bruiser build, this may change, as Conqueror is generally better in extended fights, something Electrocute and Hail cannot match.

Great guide man! very thorough and helpful, just was wondering if you are a bbc viewer since you preach a lot of the same stuff they do like good mindset and other concepts in your guide, respect if so bro keep up the the good work!

LordGrox (1) | April 18, 2023 3:09am
Thank you very much for the compliments :D

Sadly I don't know who bbc is, I generally don't watch many league streamers anymore. Glad to hear theres more people with a similiar mindset tho :)

It's a league podcast on YouTube called Broken by Concept made up of 2 challenger oce coaches one is actually a reksai main as well, if you like podcasts at all I would highly recommend.

I got my first ever win with Rek'Sai with this skill and rune build. And that was after a solid 7-game losing streak and I even contemplated whether to buy some other character. A little too squishy for my taste though.

how u can do mid tunel knock up tried in practice tool and cant
also if I literally stand to dummy and use my borrowe Q then do the comb its 450DPS but if u shoot Q ffrom far its 350DPS, is it ok?
the W burrowed R doesn t work either

LordGrox (1) | December 13, 2021 6:51am
Hey there, I highly recommend you join the Official Rek'Sai Mains Discord if you want help with these mechanics. It's hard to tell what you're doing wrong over messages ;)

I'm not sure what you mean with the combo. The DPS depends on how well you do it, and theres always room for improvement. If you start from range then you will likely do less dps as you need to walk up to the enemy first.

948702 | December 13, 2021 5:07pm
hi, yeah one of guys helped me, he said I should auto attack at the 1/3 of starting tunnel to do mid tunnel jump

about DPS, in guide you said practicing combo on dummy should give 450DPS and 2211 total damage, but if I shoot my Q from far away then close gap and do combo its ike 380DPS, its only 450DPS if I literally stand borrowed under enemy then shoot Q and do combo to hit 450DPS

anwyay thanks for guide buddy


oh also when I stay unborrowed while my W has no cooldown and R someone, no matter how hard I hard I spam W I land not borrowed (so can't instant knock up)
is there any special timing to it? or riot removed this possibility? THANKS

Since now goredrinker has been remade, it now applies omnivamp, my question is... since it has such a strong combo with quite a good base AD stat... I found myself having way way way better jungle clear and quite a good burst on ganks (either conqueror or electrocute, better the latter for early ganks only, so yeah, conqueror 90% of times), conmbining a better jungler clear, with more tf sustain, reksai can build now bruiser with a lot of sustain with goredrinker, death's dance,titanic hydra black cleaver and sterak. Now those 4 items provide insane sustain and damage for most bruisers but I found it specially strong on rek'sai, having chainsword as an alternative if enemy has a lot of heals. Since I don't really main rek'sai and my peak was Dia IV (back when Dia V existed) and you might be better with her than me, would you mind trying and do a comparasion of assasin vs bruiser? Ty in advance!

While in theory yes, it is a decent item, in order to understand which mythic is better we'll need to compare them. Prowler's Claw builds out of Serrated Dirk and Warhammer, both providing good early games stats and being built out of cheap long swords. Even at low gold backs this means you can aquire large ammounts of bonus ad in the early game, which is why I would rate Prowler's componentes better than Gores, as Gore as low AD high price components. Furthermore, we need to look at the actives. Prowler's Claw, together with Ingenious Hunter provides high uptime on an insane mobility spell. Prowler's Claw not only follows dashes/flashes but also enables your E to deal more true damage. Meanwhile, Gore assumes that you are already on top of the enemy. The higher in elo you go, the harder it will be to get on top of enemies. As fully built components I would always prefer Prowler's, as it gives me more opportunities to one-shot opponents.

I hope the reasoning makes sense!

TLDR: Prowler's is better

Shadowfall (1) | October 27, 2021 2:04pm
So basically the further your elo goes goredrinker build is good but not optimal due to mobility, thanks!

Omg thanks for the guide. I like the look of the rek'sai. I didn't play it correctly for 100k points. After the guide, I started winning almost every game. With love from the Russian server)).
