Guide to Synergizing Rek'Sai and Nautilus

Tips for Playing as Rek'Sai with Nautilus

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 Nautilus Will Play

While ganking, consider aiming Dredge Line at nearby terrain and following it up with Riptide for a higher hit rate.

Riptide has a delayed blast timing on activation - you can use this while running away or when enemies are incoming to serve as a deterrent.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Nautilus.

Is Rek'Sai better when played alongside Nautilus?

There is no ideal synergy for Rek'Sai that will no matter what be his #1 synergy. However, overall, Nautilus is a very bad ally for Rek'Sai. By being on the same team as Rek'Sai, he drops their win rate by -4.8% to 43.6%. This signals that there is a terrible bond between Rek'Sai and Nautilus that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Nautilus has a greater difficulty than Rek'Sai. That means you must be careful when arranging Nautilus allies to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Playing alongside, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by pairing Rek'Sai and Nautilus together, you may not be granting your other allies enough magic damage. We recommend you include other champions on your team that neutralizes this gap in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Nautilus ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
