Rengar vs Nasus

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Rengar's high early pressure and mobility to invade Nasus's jungle early and deny his slow scaling farm.
Prioritize brush control around river to secure Scuttle and create pick opportunities with (R) before major objectives.
Leverage Rengar's strong dueling and gank threat to snowball leads and prevent Nasus from safely stacking (Q).

Jungle Plan

Invade Nasus's jungle early when enemy laners can assist or Nasus is tracked on opposite side.
Use brush control to set up picks with (R) before starting dragon or Herald to gain objective advantages.
Convert tempo leads into counter-jungling Nasus's camps and securing Void Grubs to deny his scaling.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights when Nasus has (R) active and lanes lack priority to prevent being caught in extended trades.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle or dragon without vision and lane support to avoid forced smite fights.
Respect windows after using key mobility or Smite cooldowns to prevent counter-invades or collapses.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear focusing on brush-heavy routes to maximize early invade angles.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to collapse and secure river control.
Avoid direct fights if lanes lack priority; instead, path opposite side for safe farm and counter-gank potential.

Power spikes

Level 6: (R) unlocks strong pick potential; use it to force Nasus off camps and secure objectives.
First completed damage item: enhances dueling power to punish Nasus before he stacks (Q).
Nasus's level 6 (R) spike requires respecting extended fights; disengage and punish his low mobility before it ends.

Win conditions

Use early invades and brush skirmishes to deny Nasus's jungle farm and delay his scaling.
Secure vision and pick opportunities with (R) to create numbers advantages for dragon and Herald control.
Translate jungle tempo into repeated ganks on side lanes to prevent Nasus from safely stacking and splitpushing later.
