Volibear vs Rengar

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Volibear's fast clear and strong early dueling let him pressure Rengar's jungle and force fights before level 6.
Prioritize river control and Scuttle vision to deny Rengar's brush leverage and limit his pick threat.
This matchup is a snowball contest where Volibear must convert early tempo into objective control and scaling denial.

Jungle Plan

Use your faster clears to reach river first and contest Scuttle only if nearby lanes can follow for a numbers advantage.
Invade Rengar's camps when lanes have priority and he is on the opposite side or after his first clear to deny farm and force resets.
Control river vision and force Rengar into reactive plays to secure early dragon and Rift Herald setups.

Danger windows

Respect Rengar's early brush leap and empowered root when contesting river or jungle entrances without lane priority.
Avoid low-health clears or isolated camps where Rengar can punish with picks or forced smite fights.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision or lane support, as Rengar's ultimate enables surprise engages and pick setups.

Early game

Start with a full clear into river Scuttle when side lanes have priority to contest vision and secure early fights.
Avoid isolated river skirmishes without lane support to prevent Rengar's empowered brush engages from punishing you.
Counter-gank aggressively around levels 3 to 6 when Rengar invades, using your stun and durability to turn fights in your favor.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full combo with stun, shield, and healing, enabling strong duels to punish Rengar's engage attempts.
Level 6 grants your ultimate for tower dives and durable engages, forcing Rengar to respect committed fights under turret.
Completing your first bruiser or tank item increases sustain and tankiness, allowing extended trades and stronger objective control over Rengar.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo and dueling wins into dragon and Rift Herald control by securing Scuttle and vision dominance.
Use your level 6 dive threat combined with lane priority to force enemy recalls or kills, opening their jungle for counter-jungling.
Deny Rengar free farm by invading when lanes can cover your exits and force him into unfavorable fights to delay his scaling impact.
