Rengar vs Ivern

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Rengar's early dueling and brush control to invade Ivern's jungle when lanes have priority and secure river brush for Scuttle control.
Snowball through picks with (R) to deny Ivern's camp access and force him into reactive, grouped play.

Jungle Plan

Invade Ivern's camps early when lanes cover your escape to deny his buff sharing and tempo.
Control river brush to set up picks with (R) before dragon or Rift Herald fights, creating numbers advantages.
Track Ivern's pathing to counter-gank his early pressure and force him into unfavorable isolated fights.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early where Ivern's (Q) root and (R) knockup can lock you down and enable team follow-ups.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority, as Ivern's (E) shield and slow can protect his team and punish engages.
Low-health clears near enemy jungle entrances are vulnerable; Ivern can punish with utility and teammate follow-up.

Early game

Start with a brush-heavy path to hit level 3 quickly and threaten early invades against Ivern's slower clear.
Contest first Scuttle only if your nearby lanes have priority to back your river control and avoid open fights.
Avoid fighting in open river areas where Ivern's (Q) root and (R) knockup can lock you down; prefer brush setups for engages.

Power spikes

Level 3 grants empowered (E) root and brush leap, enabling strong early duels to pressure Ivern off camps.
Post-6, use (R) stealth to pick isolated targets and snowball tempo before grouped fights.
Respect Ivern's (R) Daisy knockup and (Q) root as strong crowd control that can turn fights if caught out of position.

Win conditions

Convert early brush control and successful invades into denying Ivern's camps and creating numbers advantages around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use (R) to pick off isolated targets, snowball lanes, and force Ivern into reactive play.
Maintain river vision and lane priority to enable safe counter-jungling and objective setups, denying Ivern's utility scaling.
