Q - Queen’s Wrath: Rek’Sai next three basic attacks will deal bonus damage and attack nearby enemies. This is activation ability. While burrowed, Rek’Sai shoots a long ranged skill shot that deals damage and gives vision of the enemy hit.

W - Prey Seeker: Upon activating this ability Rek’sai will burrow underground gaining increased movement speed.

Upon activation while underground, Rek’sai will knock up and damage nearby enemies.

E - Furious Bite: While above ground Rek’Sai will bite her target dealing damage increasing based on the amount of frury. While underground Rek’Sai will create a tunnel that she can travel to and from. Each tunnel has a cooldown once used and can be destroyed by enemy champions by stepping on them for a short period of time.

R - Void rush: Rek’Sai will teleport to one of her tunnels at a very high speed. She will let out a scream heard by all champions to indicate her ultimate is being used.
