Vi vs Rengar

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Vi's strength lies in early ganks and river fights where (Q) lockdown can secure kills before Rengar's stealth engages.
Prioritize contesting river vision and Scuttle control to limit Rengar's brush advantage and reduce his pick potential.

Jungle Plan

Full clear or three-camp path depending on lane priority, then look for early ganks where (Q) can force flashes or kills.
Fight for Scuttle only when nearby lanes can support river control to deny Rengar brush advantage.
Track Rengar's first clear timers and path to counter-gank his early pressure and set up picks with (R) before dragon or Herald fights.

Danger windows

Invade timing around Rengar's first clear can be lethal if lanes lack priority; avoid fighting without lane support.
Isolated river fights near brush favor Rengar's mobility and stealth; contest only with vision and lane presence.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights near objectives increase risk; back off if (Q) or (R) are unavailable or lanes are pushed against you.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear if early lanes lack priority to reach level 3 fast and pressure lanes with (Q) ganks.
Secure first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to deny Rengar river control and force him into less favorable paths.
Avoid extended invades without lane priority or (Q) ready, as missing (Q) or lane collapse can lead to punish by Rengar's dueling.

Power spikes

Level 6 grants Vi guaranteed lockdown with (R), enabling reliable picks and objective setups that Rengar must respect.
Completing early jungle items increases Vi's dueling and objective control, allowing her to contest dragon and Herald more effectively.
Rengar's empowered (E) root and stealth (R) spike his pick threat; Vi must avoid isolated fights without vision and (Q) ready.

Win conditions

Use early ganks with (Q) and level 6 (R) lockdown to create picks that convert into dragon and Rift Herald control.
Deny Rengar free farm by invading with lane priority and contesting Scuttle to limit his scaling and pick opportunities.
Leverage superior clear speed and objective damage to maintain tempo and force Rengar into teamfights where Vi's lockdown shines.
