Rengar vs Zac

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Rengar thrives on early invades and brush control to deny Zac's slower tempo and weaker early dueling power.
Prioritize river brush and camp tracking to set up picks and control Scuttle vision before Zac can leverage his long-range engage.

Jungle Plan

Use brush-heavy paths to invade Zac’s jungle when he is on the opposite side or after his first clear to deny camps and force resets.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when your lanes have priority, leveraging your high dueling and pick threat to set up objectives.
Convert tempo leads into securing Void Grubs, early dragon, or Rift Herald by forcing Zac into defensive clears or counter-ganks.

Danger windows

Respect Zac’s early level 3-4 window when he can gank from unexpected angles with (E) and (Q) pull.
Avoid isolated river fights if Zac’s key engage cooldowns are available or if you lack lane priority to support.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision control, as Zac’s disruption (R) can turn fights against you.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear that leads into river brush control if nearby lanes have priority to enable safe early invades.
Avoid fighting Zac in open river areas without lane support due to his strong long-range engage and knockups.
Contest first Scuttle only if your laners can collapse first, otherwise focus on counter-jungling opposite side camps.

Power spikes

Level 6 is a major spike; use (R) to create picks in river brush before starting dragon or Herald.
First completed lethality or damage item increases your dueling threat, allowing you to punish Zac’s weaker early fights.
Zac’s spike comes with his tank scaling and teamfight engage; pressure him early to prevent reaching this breakpoint.

Win conditions

Use superior brush control and stealth (R) picks to deny Zac’s jungle camps and force him into defensive pathing.
Translate early tempo into securing dragon and Rift Herald by coordinating with lanes that have priority to collapse on Zac.
Maintain vision dominance in river and enemy jungle to enable cross-map trades and prevent Zac from setting up his long-range ganks.
