Playing as Rengar
Tips to maximize your impact
- Fight near brush
Fight near brush: from a brush, Unseen Predator (passive) makes your next auto leap onto the enemy.
- Roar after taking damage
Cast Battle Roar (W) right after taking damage in a trade: it heals you for part of the damage taken in the last few seconds.
- Pick your empowered spell
At max Ferocity, pick your empowered spell: Savagery (Q) for damage, Battle Roar (W) to break free of CC, Bola Strike (E) to root.
- Hunt down an isolated carry
Cast Thrill of the Hunt (R) to find an isolated carry: it reveals the nearest enemy champion, then camouflages you and lets you leap without brush.

- Trade when his Ferocity is low
Take a trade when his Ferocity is low: at max, his next spell is empowered, and Bola Strike (E) roots you instead of slowing you.
- Group up when he's hunting you
Move closer to your allies as soon as an indicator appears over your head: Rengar is hunting you, camouflaged, with Thrill of the Hunt (R).
