Viego vs Rengar

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Viego should focus on controlled river fights where lanes can assist to secure the first takedown and trigger resets.
Avoid isolated early fights against Rengar before item power spikes and rely on lane priority to safely contest objectives.

Jungle Plan

Path through camps that allow quick access to river fights where lane priority exists to contest Scuttle and dragon.
Shadow lanes with strong CC to maximize (W) stun impact and secure resets in skirmishes.
Use vision control to deny Rengar brush access before objectives and avoid direct invades without lane support or item advantage.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Rengar's empowered root and stealth threaten lethal engages.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle or dragon without lane priority or vision as Rengar can punish invades near brush.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights before your item spikes increase risk of being countered by Rengar's early dueling strength.

Early game

Prioritize a stable first clear to reach level 3 and contest Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early invades into Rengar's jungle unless you have vision and lane support to punish his aggressive brush control.
Use (E) to approach river fights stealthily and set up ganks or counter-ganks around Scuttle and early dragons.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) enables execution and repositioning through resets; look for skirmishes where a low target can start a reset chain.
First fighter item completion boosts sustained dueling and reset potential; fight around lanes that can move first to convert kills into objectives.
Respect Rengar's early brush control and empowered (E) root as a threat window before your major spikes.

Win conditions

Convert river skirmishes where you secure the first takedown into objective control around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use resets from (R) executions to snowball fights and pressure Rengar off camps to deny his scaling.
Leverage lane priority and vision to set up counter-ganks and force Rengar into teamfights where your sustained dueling excels.
