Rengar vs Fiddlesticks

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Rengar's early invade strength and brush control to disrupt Fiddlesticks' slower clear and low invade resistance.
Prioritize river brush control and contest Scuttle to deny Fiddlesticks vision and objective setup before he hits level 6.

Jungle Plan

Invade Fiddlesticks' jungle early when lanes can cover your exit to deny his fast multi-camp clear tempo and scaling.
Control river brush and contest Scuttle Crab to limit his vision and delay his level 6 power spike.
Use (R) stealth to create picks before starting Dragon or Rift Herald, leveraging numbers advantage from denied camps and vision control.

Danger windows

Avoid invading or fighting in open river areas early without lane priority to prevent punishment from (Q) fear and (E) silence.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Fiddlesticks has vision control and can channel (R) ambush from fog.
Do not force smite fights on low-health clears without brush or lane support against Fiddlesticks' objective control and crowd control.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear focusing on brush-heavy routes to maximize early invade angles and level 3 dueling power.
Only contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to support your river control and avoid Fiddlesticks' (Q) fear and (E) silence punish.
Avoid early open river fights without lane priority to prevent getting caught by Fiddlesticks' crowd control and disengage.

Power spikes

Level 3 empowered (E) root near brush is a strong dueling breakpoint to force Fiddlesticks off camps or secure kills.
Post-6 (R) stealth significantly increases your gank threat; force enemy carries to respect fog and create picks.
Respect Fiddlesticks' level 6 (R) ambush potential by avoiding isolated fights without vision and using brush control to counterplay.

Win conditions

Convert early brush control and successful invades into denying Fiddlesticks' camps and tempo advantage to delay his scaling.
Use picks from (R) stealth to secure Dragon and Rift Herald, leveraging numbers advantage in objective fights.
Maintain river vision and pressure to force Fiddlesticks into teamfights on your terms, denying his late-game impact through early tempo control.
