Rengar Champion Abilities

Unseen Predator

While in brush, basic attacking causes Rengar to leap towards his target. Leaping to enter combat generates 1 Ferocity. At 4 Ferocity his next ability is empowered. Casting an empowered ability grants 30 / 40 / 50% (at levels 1 / 7 / 13) bonus movement speed for 1.5 seconds. Whenever a unique champion is killed within 1.5 seconds of taking damage from him, Rengar's attack damage is permanently increased:

1 trophy: +1% bonus attack damage
2 trophies: +4% attack damage
3 trophies: +9% attack damage
4 trophies: +16% attack damage
5 trophies: +25% attack damage P

Savagery

Rengar's next 2 attacks gain 40% attack speed. The first attack deals an additional 30 / 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 (+0 / 0.375 / 0.75 / 1.125 / 1.5% attack damage) physical damage.

Max Ferocity: The first attack deals 30-235 (+0.3 per attack damage) physical damage and grants Rengar 50−101% attack speed for 5 seconds (depending on level). Q

Battle Roar

Rengar roars, dealing 50 / 80 / 110 / 140 / 170 (+80% of ability power) magic damage to nearby enemies and restoring 50% of the damage taken in the last 1.5 seconds as health.

Max Ferocity: Deals 50−220 (+80% of ability power) magic damage and additionally cleanses Rengar of crowd control (depending on level). W

Bola Strike

Rengar throws a bola in the target direction, dealing 55 / 100 / 145 / 190 / 235 (+0.8 per attack damage) physical damage to the first enemy hit and slowing them by 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 / 90% for 1.75 seconds.

Max Ferocity: Deals 50−305 (+0.8 per attack damage) physical damage and roots for 1.75 seconds (depending on level). E

Thrill of the Hunt

Rengar activates his predatory instincts, becoming camouflaged after 2 seconds for 12 / 16 / 20 seconds. While active, Rengar gains 40 / 50 / 60% bonus movement speed and vision of the nearest enemy champion within 2500 / 3000 / 3500 range, revealing them for the duration of the ability. Rengar can leap without being in brush during this time, dealing 100% of his total attack damage and shredding 12 / 18 / 24 of the target's armor for 4 seconds. Attacking or using abilities ends Thrill of the Hunt.

Eyes appear over the head of the target Rengar gains vision of when Rengar is within 1600 range of his target. Enemies within 1200 range of the target champion will also see the eyes above the target's head.

The cooldown for Thrill of the Hunt begins after Rengar loses his camouflage. R

Rengar Tips and Tricks

Invade the enemy jungler and look to take away their camps or engage them in a fight. Use the bushes to your advantage, especially when attempting assassinations or invasions. During the mid-game, try to pick off isolated targets with your R, particularly those who are away from their team. Catching an enemy champion out before a major team fight or objective spawns can give your team a significant advantage. Skirmish heavily in the early game to assert dominance and gain a lead over the enemy jungler.

Situational Rengar Runes and Items

Depending on your game’s context, matchup, and enemy champions, consider building situational items or taking specific runes. Pay attention to your team composition and the enemy's champions to adapt your Rengar build accordingly. For example, if you're facing a lot of magic damage, consider using Magic Resist rune shards or building items that provide additional resistances. Similarly, if you're up against high AD champions, Armor items and rune shards might be necessary to survive longer in fights. Always adjust your build to the specific needs of the match.
