Wukong vs Rengar

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Wukong thrives on reaching level 6 quickly to leverage his strong teamfight engage and clone deception against Rengar.
Prioritize controlled pathing and river vision to avoid Rengar's brush ambushes and punish his early invades with counter-ganks.

Jungle Plan

Path through teamfight lanes and focus on setting up level 6 engages around river and dragon vision.
Fight for Scuttle when lanes can assist, then use your clone to bait Rengar's key abilities before committing to river skirmishes.
Prioritize counter-jungling after hitting level 6 if Rengar is spotted on the opposite side or after successful ganks to deny his scaling.

Danger windows

Early game before level 6, avoid extended river fights without lane priority due to Rengar's strong invade and brush control.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Rengar's ultimate is available and lanes lack priority, as he can pick off isolated targets.
Low-health clears near brush are risky; use your clone to dodge or disengage rather than committing to forced smite fights.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit level 6 efficiently unless a nearby lane offers an easy gank setup.
Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes have priority to avoid risky isolated fights in brush-heavy zones.
Avoid early invades before level 6 unless you have clear vision and lane support to counter Rengar's strong early aggression.

Power spikes

Level 6 is your major spike; use (R) cyclone knockup to initiate fights and disrupt Rengar's engages.
Post first item spike increases your dueling and objective control, allowing you to force fights around Herald and dragon.
Rengar's level 6 stealth and empowered (E) root require you to respect his pick potential and avoid isolated river fights without vision.

Win conditions

Convert level 6 engage into dragon and Rift Herald control by coordinating with lanes that can follow your (R) knockup.
Use vision control and clone deception to bait Rengar into unfavorable fights, then punish with counter-ganks and objective steals.
Deny Rengar's scaling by invading after successful ganks and forcing him into teamfights where your engage and disruption excel.
