Nasus vs Rengar

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlled full clears and avoid early river fights where Rengar's brush control and mobility dominate.
Focus on scaling through safe (Q) stack accumulation and only contest river or invade after gaining durability and stacks.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears and secure side jungle camps before attempting counter-jungling.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when your lanes have priority to limit Rengar's invade angles.
Track Rengar's pathing to anticipate gank timings and counter-gank when possible, especially post-level 6.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 and meaningful (Q) stacks where Rengar can leverage brush and mobility.
Low-health clears expose you to forced smite fights and invade risk; avoid overextending without vision.
When lanes lack priority, respect Rengar's invade potential and avoid contesting objectives without team support.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach level 4 before contesting Scuttle or river control.
Avoid early invades unless nearby lanes have priority to cover your exit routes.
Contest first Scuttle only if you have lane priority and vision control around river brushes.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) grants extended fight durability; use it to survive Rengar's burst and punish overextensions.
High (Q) stacks significantly increase dueling power; leverage this to control side lanes and force Rengar to respond.
First defensive or sheen-style item improves survivability and damage; time aggression around this breakpoint.

Win conditions

Use safe full clears and vision to deny Rengar jungle camps and force him into less optimal paths.
Convert stacked (Q) and (R) durability into side-lane pressure, forcing Rengar to respond and creating objective windows.
Coordinate with lanes to secure dragon and Rift Herald after establishing river control and counter-ganking opportunities.
