Taliyah vs Rengar

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Taliyah's superior clear speed and worked ground control to secure early river scuttles and deny Rengar's invade angles.
Prioritize river choke points to leverage (W) and (E) zone control against Rengar's dash engages and brush ambushes.

Jungle Plan

Path camps to maintain worked ground and approach river chokes where (W) and (E) punish Rengar's dash engages.
Fight for river control and Scuttle only if nearby lanes can assist or hold priority to prevent being collapsed on.
Use (R) to create numbers advantages before dragon or Herald fights and to counter-gank Rengar's invades.

Danger windows

Respect Rengar's early invade windows near brush where empowered abilities and lane priority enable strong dueling.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision or lane support to prevent forced smite contests and picks.
Do not clear camps at low health or force objective fights when Rengar can capitalize on stealth and dueling strength.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear that preserves worked ground for efficient movement and early river access.
Contest first Scuttle Crab only when side lanes have priority to avoid Rengar's brush ambushes.
Avoid extended early invades without vision and lane priority to reduce risk against Rengar's high early dueling threat.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), greatly increasing map pressure and counter-gank potential; use it to force picks or disengage safely.
First completed mage item boosts clear speed and poke, enabling more confident objective control and pressure.
Level 3 grants access to (Q), (W), and (E) combo for punishing Rengar's engages but hold (W) and (E) for confirmed movement commits.

Win conditions

Convert faster clear and worked ground control into early Scuttle and objective dominance, focusing on dragon and Rift Herald.
Punish Rengar's dash engages in river chokes with (W) and (E) to force him off camps and deny tempo.
Leverage (R) for cross-map pressure and counter-ganks to deny Rengar's scaling and secure teamfight advantages.
