Guide to Synergizing Rek'Sai and Heimerdinger

Tips for Playing as Rek'Sai with Heimerdinger

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.

Advice to Understand How Heimerdinger Will Play

Spreading out Hextech Micro-Rockets leads to more reliable damage and more efficiency against multiple targets, but focusing it creates the biggest impact.

The success of Electron Storm Grenade is very important to Heimerdinger's survival. The slow and stun both are capable of keeping enemies in place long enough to punish them, but it is also the first line of defense against a surprise attack.

Turret placement can be a deciding factor in a battle. Against most enemies turrets are best when they can support each other, but if the enemy has a lot of area of effect damage your turrets can be destroyed quickly. Placing turrets in brush can lead to a surprise attack in your favor.
