Best Build Guide for Rengar
Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
Starter Item
First thing first i use Ruby Crystal for Durability in lane, because you need to survive until lvl 3.
Long Sword is an item for aggresive play with more damage.
Note : I rather choose Ruby Crystal since it gives 150 HP, it will makes farm Health from Grasp of the Undying more safely. I will tell later the difference within Ruby Crystal and Long Sword
My Core Item
This is where your Powerspike begin, i will explain every Item i choose and why
- Divine Sunderer . Obvious choise for damage and health, it gives 400 HP which is quite big and it's Passive can heal you. Great for sustain, also gives
- Sunfire Aegis . The Passive from this item can dealt a lot of burn damage. Techincally this is our Second damage Item, the reason i build HP is because Burn Damage from this item Passive scaling with HP, more HP more Damage.
Situational Items
This is where thing got different every game, this situational Items really depens on enemy Team Comp, let's take a look for every item
- Bramble Vest . I take this tier 2 item for counter enemy who has much healing like Fiora , Wukong , Dr. Mundo , Aatrox. You can upgrade to Thornmail as last item
- Sterak's Gage . Very good HP Item, it gives 400 HP (more damage for Sunfire Aegis )and shield when low Health, this item perfectly fit for any Magic or Physical enemy, but better use it if enemy have a lot of burst Champions
- Spirit Visage . This is a go if enemy has a lot of Magic Damage, more HP and Magic Resistance, but the most important thing is Passive : Increase Healing on yourself by 30%. Thats a lot of healing.!! This item is also great if enemy just have one Mage even support, since enemy will use Oblivion Orb Bramble Vest Executioner's Calling .
- Randuin's Omen . An item to counter Crit heavy champions like Yasuo Yone Caitlyn ect. Also gives more health.
- Warmog's Armor . Do i really need to explain this item.? Of course more HP, in late game you can get around 4000+ HP.
Boots & Enchant
- Mercury's Treads . For CC reduction if enemy has so much CC. Note : i use thi boots only for CC reduction, if enemy has more Mage and less CC, i rather use Ionian Boots of Lucidity instead since Rengar can cleanse CC with his Empowered [rengar:2]
- Plated Steelcaps . For auto attackers like Yasuo Lucian Akshan ect. Again if enemy comp is physical but less auto attacker like Pantheon Zed Garen ect. I use Ionian Boots of Lucidity
- Gargoyle Enchant . Is a must go for Tanky shield makes you sustain in fight longer and help took damage from enemy, your role is a tank, not a carry, go to enemy backline and use it and let enemy wasted their skills to you while you still fine because of big shield from Gargoyle Enchant
Rengar Runes
Best Runes for Rengar
TANKY RUNES
- Grasp of the Undying . Is every Tank Champions rune choice, so why not put it in our Rengar . It can dealt bonus damage and gives permanent Health every time you hit enemy every 3sec, literally more HP later on. Note : Grasp of the Undying can be a good timer to tell how long [rengar:passive] last, since it share the same amount of time which is 4 second before run out.
- Note: Grasp of the Undying dealt more damage with Long Sword starting item than Ruby Crystal .
- Triumph . No other runes in his sub can do better than Triumph it can heal when ever you kill/assist enemy, literally more sustain
- Conditioning . This rune can make you have some armor and MR in late game, since our Item is Health Priority, so this can help for some defense. You can take Second Wind if enemy Ranged like Kennen Teemo Jayce and Bone Plating if enemy have burst like Pantheon Riven Irelia ect.
- Hunter Genius . Most Baron Laner take [Demolish] but me personally wanted to Rengar have more cooldown, this is why this rune come in. [Rengar:2] can be reduce to 5 second late game with this rune.
If you get Counter by Darius/Olaf
Run and Avoid 1v1, that is why Phase Rush is a go
Also pick Demolish and first item Hull Breaker, your only job destroy enemy turret and bait enemy, so your team cab easily do objective

WHREEEEEEE.!!!
My usual Combo for WHREEEEE!! TO THE ENEMY BACKLINE, be sure to save your Battle Roar for great heal, just do not rush to use your Battle Roar , the healing is the biggest value for soaking damage from the enemy
Since Rengar combo is the same, i don't know how to explain other combo. Choosing what empowered skill to use is an important thing to master. If you want to chase the enemy use Empowered Bola Strike for CC, for more damage use Empowered Savagery

Detailed information on how to play matchups and counters
Rengar Tank Purpose.?
Of course to be a tank, soaking damage while your team cleaning up the rest or bait enemy CC so your Katarina can easily going without worrying get CC.
People always expected Rengar to be a damage assasin, once you jump to them they mostly all in to you. And when they think Rengar tank is not a threat, your slowly but surely damage from Sunfire Aegis can suprise them.
TIPS FOR RENGAR BARON
I USUALLY DON'T UPGRADE MY ULTIMATE UNTIL LEVEL 8
- yes, its a thing for me, since Thrill Of The Hunt have little value in lane, you better maxed out other ability for better fight. Dont worry about it. Mostly you can reach lebel 8 before First Dragon spawn
- Always Save your keep your Battle Roar before doing a trade, its a guaranted trade while your enemy lose some health and Rengar still healthy
