Rengar Jungle guide

Rengar jungle is an ambush hunter: Unseen Predator (passive) lets him leap from Brush on his next basic attack, then he chains into Savagery (Q) for bonus damage, Bola Strike (E) to slow or root, and Thrill of the Hunt (R) to Camouflage, reveal the nearest enemy champion, and leap to them from anywhere with bonus armor shred.

The build

Rune page: Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Coup de Grace (Precision), with Ultimate Hunter and Sudden Impact (Domination). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order opens Savagery (Q), Battle Roar (W), Bola Strike (E), then maxes Savagery (Q) first with Bola Strike (E) second. Starter: Gustwalker Hatchling, into Ionian Boots of Lucidity. Core build: Umbral Glaive, Profane Hydra, Lord Dominik's Regards, with Voltaic Cyclosword, Edge of Night, and Infinity Edge as later options.

Ability mechanics

Rengar generates Ferocity on every ability cast, and at Max Ferocity his next ability is empowered: Savagery (Q) deals increased damage and grants Attack Speed, Battle Roar (W) also breaks crowd control while healing him for recent damage taken, and Bola Strike (E) roots instead of slows. Thrill of the Hunt (R) grants Camouflage and Move Speed, reveals the nearest enemy champion in a large radius, and lets him leap to that target without needing brush, reducing their armor on arrival. Killing enemy champions adds trophies to his Bonetooth Necklace for bonus attack damage.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Naafiri, Master Yi, Kayn, Graves, Lee Sin. Best matchups: Viego, Kha'Zix, Sylas.
