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.
Playing against Qiyana
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Check her weapon's element
Before a trade, check her weapon's element: with Ice, Elemental Wrath (Q) roots you, and with Wild, the brush element, its trail makes her invisible.
- Back off when she changes element
Back off when she casts Terrashape (W): the spell resets Elemental Wrath (Q), so she can hit you twice in a row.
- Stay away from walls and the river
Don't fight right next to a wall, the river or brush: Supreme Display of Talent (R) explodes along them and stuns enemies there.
