The jungle race — the windows in Rek'Sai's plan

Read from Rek'Sai's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Evelynn.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearRek'Sai DominantFury-fueled Q autos clear fast and win the first raptor fight. There is no version of this Evelynn wins right now — pre-stealth Evelynn is the weakest level-1 champion in the jungle, and that folds at the first buff. Show on their side of the river and take a camp and a chunk of their health bar.
Level 2 SkirmishRek'Sai DominantThe Unburrow knock-up gives a free engage on anyone walking your tunnels. Later in the game this bites, because her early duel is a bluff, but Allure charm setups punish brush face-checks. But with one camp still up on both sides none of it is online, so take the level-2 skirmish and tax every camp Evelynn concedes.
Level 3 RouteRek'Sai DominantThe full tunnel network plus knock-up means you dictate where every fight starts, while pre-stealth Evelynn is the weakest level-1 champion in the jungle. Only one of those wins at the opening scuttle, so press it: take the level-3 river fight, then leave with the first scuttle and the gank window behind it.
Levels 4-5 MacroRek'Sai Favoured — Take DuelsThe 4-5 window is yours if you pick it: she is still farming for six and cannot contest anything she does not out-number. Track that pattern, arrive one camp early, and take the fight before the follow-up shows.
Level 6 BreakpointRespect Evelynn's RDemon Shade camouflage means they choose every post-6 fight, which is the whole problem: from six on she is invisible — every face-check is a charm into Last Caress. Buy sweepers, hug control wards, and never path alone through her quadrant, and spend Void Rush to equalize rather than to open.
First Item SpikeStridebreaker SpikeCompleting your core item triggers a massive damage, health, and sticking power multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers. Evelynn's first item plus camouflage is the spike that flips the matchup — the charm rotation starts killing outright.
2+ Items ScalingDanger — Evelynn OutscalesThe clock is your enemy. She is invisible and lethal, and every unswept corridor is a charm into a delete, so close the game on the first two objectives you actually win.

How to beat Evelynn as Rek'Sai: the first clear and pathing

Start your clear at the Red Buff camp utilizing your Queen's Wrath AoE to maximize early clear speed. Evelynn clears slowly and unhealthily before six, so her early pathing is usually the safest, longest route she can take.
