The Jarvan IV versus Rek'Sai matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Jarvan IV deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Rek'Sai has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
An important advantage of Jarvan IV is higher farming statistics (ranked 47th among role champions) (versus 51st for Rek'Sai), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.9 versus 3.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Jarvan IV player to maintain constant pressure on Rek'Sai, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
