Rengar vs Gragas

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Rengar's superior early invade pressure and brush control to disrupt Gragas's jungle tempo and deny camps.
Prioritize river brush control to secure Scuttle and set up picks with (R) for objective advantages around dragon and Herald.

Jungle Plan

Path through brush-heavy routes to maximize empowered (E) root trades and surprise picks against Gragas.
Fight for first Scuttle only when lanes can pressure Gragas's approach to secure river control.
Use (R) stealth to create picks before starting dragon or Rift Herald to gain objective numbers advantage.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights when (E) stun is available to prevent forced disengages.
Be cautious contesting objectives if (R) can separate you from your team.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights near open river areas increase risk against Gragas's burst and crowd control.

Early game

Start with a clear that enables quick access to river brush for early Scuttle contest and potential invade.
Invade Gragas's jungle when your nearby lanes have priority to punish his moderate invade resistance.
Avoid open river fights without brush control to reduce risk against (E) stun and (R) displacement.

Power spikes

Level 6: Use (R) to isolate targets and force Gragas to respect your pick threat before objectives.
Early levels with empowered (E): capitalize on strong dueling near brush to punish Gragas before his first item.
Respect Gragas's first item spike where his burst and durability improve; avoid extended fights during this window.

Win conditions

Convert early brush control and successful invades into objective control around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use (R) to create picks that enable your team to secure numbers advantages in river fights.
Deny Gragas free jungle camps by invading when lanes have priority and force him into unfavorable fights to delay his scaling.
