Talon vs Rengar

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Talon should leverage high early agency to contest river vision and punish Rengar's brush-heavy pathing.
Prioritize denying Rengar's invade angles by controlling river brush and tracking his camp timers to avoid early fights.

Jungle Plan

Full clear efficiently and contest Scuttle only when allied lanes can support to avoid Rengar's strong dueling near brush.
Track Rengar's pathing and be ready to counter-gank his early invades by holding river brush vision.
Prioritize early dragon control and use Talon's mobility to apply pressure on side lanes after pushing mid to deny Rengar's objective setups.

Danger windows

Respect early invade windows when Rengar has lane priority and brush control, as he can punish isolated fights.
Avoid isolated river skirmishes without vision since Rengar's empowered (E) root and stealth ultimate create lethal pick potential.
Be cautious contesting objectives when low health or without Smite ready to prevent losing forced fights.

Early game

Start with a fast clear to reach level 3 quickly and contest the first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early river fights unless you have lane priority or vision control to prevent Rengar's strong early invades.
Use (E) to maneuver quickly around terrain for counter-invades or to secure Scuttle vision before Rengar can engage.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlock of (Q) plus (W) grants Talon strong early dueling potential to punish Rengar before his empowered abilities peak.
Level 6 (R) provides burst and stealth for picks or escapes; use this window to force plays and avoid blind all-ins.
First lethality item completion significantly boosts Talon's damage, enabling more confident objective pressure and counter-jungling.

Win conditions

Convert early clears and river control into securing first Scuttle and early dragon to deny Rengar tempo.
Use Talon's mobility and burst to counter-invade and pick isolated targets, creating numbers advantages for objectives.
Leverage roams and side lane pressure after pushing mid to restrict Rengar's access to camps and objectives, snowballing team advantage.
