Amumu vs Rengar

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlled full clears and avoid early river fights without lane priority to survive Rengar's high early invade pressure.
Focus on using (Q) and (R) to force grouped fights around objectives and scale into a high-impact teamfight engage tank.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize river control and contest Scuttle only when your lanes can move first to avoid Rengar's brush ambushes.
Track Rengar's pathing and be ready to counter-gank his early invades by positioning near lanes with crowd control follow-up.
Use your (Q) and (R) to set up objective fights around Dragon and Rift Herald, forcing Rengar into unfavorable grouped engagements.

Danger windows

Early levels 3-4 when Rengar can invade with empowered abilities and brush control; avoid isolated jungle camps without lane support.
Isolated river fights near brush where Rengar's leap and root can chain CC and burst damage.
Forced smite fights at Dragon or Rift Herald without vision or lane priority increase risk of losing objectives and getting picked off.

Early game

Start with a full clear or three-camp path toward a lane that can follow your (Q) for early ganks.
Use defensive wards on jungle entrances to spot Rengar's level 3 invades and avoid isolated fights.
Avoid contesting Scuttle Crab unless nearby lanes have priority to reduce risk from Rengar's strong early dueling and invade.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to lock down multiple targets and turn objective fights in your favor; Rengar's damage is less effective in grouped scenarios.
Rengar spikes with empowered (E) and stealth (R) for picks; respect these windows by avoiding isolated jungle paths and river brushes.
Your medium clear speed means you scale safer by securing camps and avoiding risky invades early, building tank stats for late-game teamfights.

Win conditions

Survive early jungle pressure by full clearing safely and using wards to track Rengar's pathing.
Convert level 6 into strong objective control by using (Q) and (R) to force grouped fights and secure Dragon or Rift Herald.
Use your teamfight lockdown to enable carries and deny Rengar's pick attempts, scaling into late game as a frontline engage tank.
