Ekko vs Rengar

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Focus on efficient full clears or five-camp routes to hit level 6 and item spikes cleanly before forcing fights.
Use (W) from fog or brush to control river entrances and set up picks around dragon or Rift Herald.
Avoid early river fights unless nearby lanes have priority to cover your escape and counter-gank potential.

Jungle Plan

Path for full clears into lanes with strong setup to maximize (W) gank threat and force Rengar off camps.
Fight for river brush control before dragon or Rift Herald to deny Rengar's pick angles and vision.
Track Rengar's pathing and be ready to counter-gank when he shows early pressure on lanes with priority.

Danger windows

Respect Rengar's early invade potential near brush when lanes lack priority or vision control.
Avoid isolated river fights without lane support, especially before level 6 and item spikes.
Be cautious around forced smite fights on dragon or Rift Herald if Rengar has better brush control and nearby lane pressure.

Early game

Prioritize a full clear or five-camp clear before looking to gank or contest Scuttle when lanes have priority.
Avoid early invades into Rengar's jungle unless your lanes can assist or you have vision control of his position.
Contest first Scuttle only if your side lanes can move first and provide cover for potential skirmishes.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks (Q)-(W)-(E) combo for burst trades and stun setup; use this to threaten early skirmishes when cooldowns align.
Level 6 (R) gives you a safety reset and burst potential; coordinate ganks or counter-ganks around this timing.
First completed AP item strengthens your damage and trade reliability; increase aggression on camps and lanes after this spike.

Win conditions

Use efficient clears and tempo resets to arrive at objectives first and force Rengar into reactive plays.
Leverage (W) zone control and (R) mobility to create picks or disengage from risky skirmishes.
Deny Rengar free farm by invading when lanes have priority and punish his extended clears to delay his scaling and objective control.
