Ivern vs Rengar

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ivern's unique camp marking and buff-sharing to deny Rengar camps without risking isolated duels.
Prioritize utility scaling by protecting carries and enabling teamfights rather than solo fighting Rengar.
Manage river brush control carefully to avoid Rengar's empowered (E) root and stealth (R) picks.

Jungle Plan

Use creative and flexible routing to mark camps and share buffs with teammates, focusing on denying Rengar farm without direct confrontation.
Fight for first Scuttle only if your lanes have priority and can support you to prevent Rengar's brush control.
Track Rengar's pathing to counter-gank his early pressure and use Daisy and (Q) root to lock him down during skirmishes.

Danger windows

Rengar's early invade windows near brush are dangerous; avoid isolated river fights without lane priority.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision control as Rengar can force smite fights with his burst and mobility.
Low-health clears leave you vulnerable to Rengar's empowered (E) root and burst; avoid pathing through brush alone when weak.

Early game

Start with a safe clear path that allows delayed camp pickups to avoid early Rengar invades.
Contest Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Avoid direct fights early unless your lanes can collapse quickly to punish Rengar's aggressive invade attempts.

Power spikes

Ivern's major spike comes from level 6 when (R) Daisy can turn skirmishes and protect carries, so look for grouped fights then.
Respect Rengar's early level 3+ power spike near brush with empowered (E) root and high mobility; avoid isolated fights in brush.
Post-6, Rengar's stealth (R) creates pick threats; maintain vision and position to prevent surprise engages.

Win conditions

Deny Rengar free farm by marking camps creatively and sharing buffs with lanes that can follow up on your (Q) root and (R) knockup.
Use Daisy and shields to protect carries and enable safe objective control, forcing Rengar into teamfights where his pick potential is limited.
Track and counter-gank Rengar's early pressure by coordinating with lanes that have priority to maintain tempo and scaling advantage.
