Rengar vs Amumu

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Rengar's superior early pressure and mobility to invade Amumu's jungle when lanes grant priority and secure river brush control.
Deny Amumu free farm by punishing his slower clears and weak early dueling near brush to delay his scaling.

Jungle Plan

Path through brush-heavy routes to threaten early invades and force Amumu into defensive clears.
Fight for first Scuttle only when lanes have priority and you control river brush to deny Amumu vision.
Use (R) stealth to create picks before dragon or Rift Herald setups, leveraging numbers advantage from denied camps.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early when Amumu can punish with (Q) engage and your lanes lack priority.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Amumu's (R) is available to prevent multi-target lockdown in choke points.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights near river brush are risky if Amumu is nearby and lanes cannot assist.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear funneling into river brush to contest first Scuttle when your lanes can move first.
Avoid open river fights without lane priority to prevent getting caught by Amumu's (Q) long-range engage.
Use empowered (E) root from brush to punish Amumu's vulnerable early clears and force him off camps.

Power spikes

Early levels spike with empowered (E) root and brush leap to force fights before Amumu builds tank stats.
Post-6, use (R) to hunt isolated targets and force Amumu's team to group, limiting his engage impact.
Respect Amumu's level 6 (R) area lockdown by avoiding isolated river fights once he hits this breakpoint.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo and brush control into denying Amumu camps and forcing defensive clears.
Use (R) picks to secure numbers advantages for dragon or Rift Herald setups before Amumu can group.
Snowball leads by counter-jungling Amumu when lanes have priority, preventing his scaling and teamfight presence.
