Rengar vs Kayn

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Rengar's early invade strength and brush control to pressure Kayn before his form transformation.
Control river brush to contest Scuttle and set up picks with (R) before dragon or Rift Herald fights.

Jungle Plan

Invade Kayn's jungle early when lane priority covers your exit to deny his form progress and camps.
Use brush control around river and jungle entrances to create pick opportunities with (R) before major objectives.
Track Kayn's pathing and hold river vision to counter-gank his terrain-based ganks.

Danger windows

Respect Kayn's early escape through walls and (W) knockup when isolated in open river fights.
Avoid fighting Kayn when he has smite advantage on contested objectives like dragon or Rift Herald.
Be cautious invading without lane priority as Kayn's mobility and terrain use increase counter-invade risk.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear through brush-heavy routes to maximize level 3 invade potential.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to secure backup.
Avoid extended river fights in open terrain to limit Kayn's wall-walk mobility advantage.

Power spikes

Rengar's level 3 empowered (E) root and (R) stealth pick threat open windows to invade and force objectives.
Kayn's form transformation is a major spike; punish his farming and avoid fights once he completes it.
Post-6, use (R) cooldown to pressure objectives and deny Kayn's scaling.

Win conditions

Convert early brush control and successful invades into dragon and Rift Herald setups to snowball lanes.
Use (R) to create picks on isolated targets before objective fights to gain numbers advantage.
Deny Kayn camps and force him into team fights before he scales to delay or prevent his form power spike.
