Blackfrost Rek'Sai: A Frozen Menace
Blackfrost Rek'Sai is a skin that embodies the essence of the frozen tundra. Rek'Sai, known as the Void Burrower, is transformed into a menacing creature of ice and frost. Her once vibrant colors are replaced with a chilling blue hue, and her body is covered in icy spikes and frosty armor. The skin features unique particle effects that give her abilities an icy and frosty appearance, making her presence even more intimidating on the battlefield.
When playing as Blackfrost Rek'Sai, her Q ability, Queen's Wrath, sends forth icy spikes that shatter upon impact. Her W ability, Burrow, creates a freezing aura around her as she dives into the ground, leaving behind a trail of frost. Unburrowing with her E ability, Prey Seeker, sends out a chilling projectile that freezes enemies in its path. Finally, her ultimate ability, Void Rush, summons a frozen void portal that engulfs her enemies in a blizzard of frost and ice.
Not only do the abilities receive a visual overhaul, but the sound effects also match the icy theme. The crunching of ice and the howling winds accompany each ability, immersing players in the frozen world of Blackfrost Rek'Sai. The skin also features unique recall animations, where Rek'Sai disappears into a swirling vortex of frost before reemerging from the ground.
Rek'Sai: The Void Burrower
Rek'Sai, the Void Burrower, is a fearsome creature hailing from the depths of the Void. She is a monstrous predator who tunnels through the earth, striking fear into the hearts of her enemies. In the world of League of Legends, Rek'Sai is known for her exceptional mobility and ability to control the map.
Rek'Sai's passive ability, Fury of the Xer'Sai, allows her to generate Fury as she attacks, which she can then use to enhance her abilities. Her Q ability, Queen's Wrath, empowers her next three basic attacks, dealing bonus damage and cleaving through enemies. Her W ability, Burrow, allows her to tunnel underground, gaining increased movement speed and Tremor Sense, which reveals enemy movement in a radius around her.
When unburrowing with her E ability, Prey Seeker, Rek'Sai fires a projectile that damages and reveals enemies hit. Her ultimate ability, Void Rush, allows her to quickly travel to any of her tunnels on the map, making her a formidable split-pusher and map controller.
Rek'Sai's strengths lie in her ability to quickly navigate the map and surprise her enemies with her burrowing and unburrowing mechanics. She excels at ganking and catching opponents off-guard, thanks to her Tremor Sense and global ultimate. Her high mobility and burst damage make her a formidable duelist and skirmisher.
However, Rek'Sai also has her weaknesses. She heavily relies on her tunnels for map control, and destroying them can limit her mobility and presence on the map. Additionally, she lacks sustained damage in extended fights, making her more reliant on burst damage and quick engages. Proper vision control and map awareness can also mitigate her surprise factor, as enemies can anticipate her movements through her Tremor Sense.
In the world of League of Legends, Rek'Sai has made a significant impact. She was released on December 11, 2014, and quickly became a popular pick in both professional play and solo queue. Her unique playstyle and map control abilities make her a valuable asset to any team composition.

Lore:
An apex predator, Rek'Sai is a merciless Void-spawn that tunnels beneath the ground to ambush and devour unsuspecting prey. Her insatiable hunger has laid waste to entire regions of the once-great empire of Shurima—merchants, traders, even armed caravans, will go hundreds of miles out of their way to avoid her and her offspring's hunting grounds. All know that once Rek'Sai is seen on the horizon, death from below is all but guaranteed.
Ally tips:
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.
Enemy tips:
If you see one of Rek'Sai's tunnels, briefly stand on one of the entrances to destroy it.Rek'Sai's Furious Bite gains damage as she builds Fury. Be very careful around her when her Fury is full.When Rek'Sai is near, she can see the position of you and your allies, but only if you're moving.
