Rengar vs Viego

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Rengar's superior early invade resistance and dueling power to control river brush and deny Viego jungle tempo.
Focus on snowballing through brush skirmishes and ultimate picks to disrupt Viego's scaling and objective setups.

Jungle Plan

Invade Viego's jungle when tracked on the opposite side and lanes can support your exit.
Control river brush before Scuttle or objective fights to leverage your empowered (E) root and (R) picks.
Convert tempo leads into securing Void Grubs, dragon, Rift Herald, or counter-jungling to deny Viego's scaling.

Danger windows

Respect Viego's early skirmish windows where he can secure the first takedown to start resets.
Avoid isolated jungle fights after using your mobility, Smite, or (E) root cooldowns.
Be cautious when lacking lane priority around Scuttle, dragon, or Herald as it forces unfavorable river fights.

Early game

Start your first clear near brush-heavy routes to maximize early dueling and invade potential.
Only contest the first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to collapse and secure the fight.
Avoid direct river fights without lane priority; pivot to opposite-side camps or ganks.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to create pick opportunities and force Viego off objectives before he can reset fights.
After first recall and item spikes, push tempo aggressively as your dueling and gank threat surpass Viego's sustained fight power.
Slow the game when Viego hits his first fighter item and ultimate, respecting his reset potential in extended fights.

Win conditions

Use brush control and (R) picks to deny Viego camps and force him into reactive play.
Translate jungle tempo leads into objective control by securing dragon, Herald, and counter-jungling opportunities.
Apply repeatable gank pressure on lanes with priority to prevent Viego from safely scaling or resetting fights.
