Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize efficient full clears and protect your farming tempo to reach level 6 before forcing fights.
Avoid early river contests without lane priority, as Rengar excels invading near brush and punishing overextensions.
This is a snowball jungle matchup where you must leverage your scaling and objective control to outpace Rengar's early invade threat.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears and secure dragon or Rift Herald after level 6 when your ultimate enables strong objective control.
Contest Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid Rengar's brush ambushes.
Track Rengar's pathing and be ready to counter-gank his early invades by using your burst combo and shield to survive skirmishes.

Danger windows

Respect Rengar's early invade when lanes control brush entrances; avoid isolated river fights before level 6.
Beware of forced smite fights on dragon or Herald without lane priority; Rengar's dueling and pick threat is high.
Avoid low-health clears or overextending during your first clear to reduce risk of Rengar punishing your cooldowns.

Early game

Start with a full clear toward a safe reset unless a lane has strong setup for early ganks.
Avoid fighting for first Scuttle if nearby lanes lack priority to prevent getting caught by Rengar's early invade.
Use your fast AoE clear to hit level 6 quickly and prepare for objective fights where your (R) can impact multiple targets.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks (Q)+(W)+(E) burst with dash reset and shield; use this to punish Rengar's early jungle pressure when cooldowns align.
Level 6 (R) grants strong teamfight and all-in threat; use this window to force objective fights and picks.
Your first completed AP skirmish item significantly boosts damage and objective control; increase pressure on camps and fights after this point.

Win conditions

Convert your fast clear and level 6 power spike into securing dragons and Rift Herald to build map control.
Use your (Q)+(E)+(W) burst combo to punish Rengar's jungle camps and deny his scaling by counter-jungling safely.
Leverage your ultimate to force teamfights or picks, enabling your team to capitalize on objective advantages and snowball leads.
