Overview

Use Rengar's high early invade resistance and brush control to secure river brush before Scuttle or objectives.

Jungle Plan

Invade and counter-jungle when your lanes have priority to cover your exits and deny Wukong camps.

Avoid isolated skirmishes after using your mobility or Smite, especially if lane priority is lost near objectives.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle or river fights without vision and lane support to prevent being caught by Wukong's clone deception.
