How to play
Heartsteel Build specific
- You rush Heartsteel #1 unless it is going to be hard to proc it - they are all ranged and just poke you. Then you start slow with Guardian's Horn.
- After Heartsteel, you can rush Titanic Hydra (more fun, damage and some survi) AND/OR Sundered Sky or just go full tank - depending on if you are behind and if your team needs more damage.
- Sundered Sky is very good damage item for this build. It scales off your HP (so Grasp, Heartsteel, Overgrowth). It gives damage and pretty good sustain in fights. Remember to switch targets to maximize the effect!
- This is auto attack oriented Rek'Sai build, so do it! Especially if running with Titanic Hydra and Sundered Sky as well.
- Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for a very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
- You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
- Remember to consume your Heartsteel procs!
- Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
Rek'Sai specific
- You are an ultimate bush master (more in Tips and Tricks section). It is especially important when playing Heartsteel Rek'Sai.
- You can be really good peeler. Enemy going after your carry? Stay close to your carry and knock them up with your Unborrow (W) to peel the enemy off. More enemies coming? Just burrow and knock them up, one by one, as well!
Tips and Tricks
General
- You can use your Void Rush (R) for survivability and disengage. Getting focused really hard in the fight? Use it, so enemies will lose target, stop attacking you, so then you can run away.
- You can use your Pray Seeker (Q when burrowed) to scout bushes.
- You will detect enemies moving in the bushes thanks to Tremor Sense (Passive while burrowed).
- Your ally got hit with a Snowball? Burrow and go close to them, to knock them up when they arrive. You can even time it to knock them in the air. Often it will be certain death for enemy player.
Riot
- Keeping tunnels spread out across the map will ensure you have choices when you want to cast Void Rush.
- Cast Burrow before travelling around the map to take advantage of the increased Move Speed and the safety provided by Tremor Sense.
- Tremor Sense can warn you of enemies closing in, and is particularly useful when entering enemy territory.
