Playing as Rengar

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Fight near brush

    Fight near brush: from a brush, Unseen Predator (passive) makes your next auto leap onto the enemy.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Playing against Jarvan IV

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Step out of his flag's line

    As soon as he plants Demacian Standard (E), step out of the line between him and the flag: Dragon Strike (Q) pulls him to it and knocks anyone in his path into the air.

  2. Punish him after his combo

    Punish him after his flag-and-lance combo: without the flag, he has no dash to get out, and Demacian Standard (E) has a 12 to 10 second cooldown.

  3. Save a way out of his arena

    If you have a way over walls, save it for Cataclysm (R): the arena can't be crossed on foot and locks you in with him while it lasts.
