Introduction

Welcome to my Top Lane
Rengar Guide.
First thing I want to say that, my English is not very good, so it will be hard to understand in some parts of my guide. Also this is my first guide, so hope you understand.
About this guide, it's a new way to play Rengar. It's all about using the new season 3 item
Sword of the Divine and
Rengar's skills to take down the enemy team's carry as fast as possible.I have found out that this item makes a perfect combo with Rengar's
Savagery. A combo of
Sword of the Divine,
Bloodthirster,
Infinity Edge and
Savagery, will take you only 2(maybe 1) seconds to take down the enemy team's carry.
Iterested? Now let's get to the details!

+High damage output +Manaless +Easy farming +Useful passive ![]() +Powerful Ultimate ![]() |
-Easily kited -Very squishy in this build. -No hard CC. - ![]() -Hard to make combo without ![]() -Countered by ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Unseen Predator![]() |
While in brush or stealthed, Rengar gains bonus attack range and his attacks cause him to leap at his target. This bonus lasts for ~0.5 second upon exiting brush or stealth. This will happen regardless of whether or not his target has sight of him, and has no internal cooldown. Additionally, Rengar builds 1 point of Ferocity with each ability he uses on enemies. When reaching 5 points of Ferocity, Rengar's next ability becomes empowered, granting it a bonus effect. This passive allows ![]() ![]() ![]() About the leaping part, there something new users should know: +Don't focus on using this skill to harass opponent in the early game. Try to farm, and avoid gank. This skill is used for ganking and chasing, not for harassing, leave the harassing part for ![]() +When chasing low HP targets, note for the one running into bushes. +Enemies can avoid bushes, making you hard to gank, so don't depend too much on this skill while ganking, use your Ultimate instead. |
Savagery![]() |
Rengar's next basic attack deals bonus damage and grants him increased attack speed for 4 seconds. Empowered: Savagery deals additional damage equal to 100% of Rengar's attack damage, and the Attack Speed bonus is doubled. This is ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Remember one thing: you gain attack speed after using Q, so it's very good in a 1vs1 combat. |
Battle Roar![]() |
Rengar lets out a battle roar, damaging enemies and gaining bonus armor and magic resist for 3 seconds. Empowered:Battle Roar also heals Rengar for 40 + (20 × level). This skill brings the survivability for ![]() ![]() ![]() Note: to build Ferocity, your skill must hit enemy, and since ![]() |
Bola Strike![]() |
Rengar throws a bola at his target, dealing physical damage and slowing it for 2.5 seconds. The slow decays over the duration. Empowered:Bola Strike initially roots his target for 1 second. The slow is applied in full after the 1 second, and decays over the remaining 1.5 seconds. Offensive, Defensive and Utility. Never underestimate a rude weapon like this. You can you this skill in many way: harrashing; farming; ganking. The damage is also physical, with AD scailing is 70%, very high for a CC skill. Since the damage and slow increase per level, I max it after ![]() ![]() Ferocity bonus: In some situation, you have full ferocity, and your enemy is on low hp, I suggest using this skill instead of ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Thrill of the Hunt![]() |
Rengar activates his predatory instincts, stealthing himself after 1 second (delayed up to 3 seconds if taking damage) and revealing all enemy Champions in a large radius around him. He gains movement speed and generates 1 Ferocity per 0.75s while stealthed. Lasts 7 seconds or until he uses an ability. How I love this skill. With this, ![]() ![]() How to use: use it to ambush, escape and check the enemy team. Ambushing: Take you only 1 second to become invisible, give you bonus movement speed and Ferocity per 0.75 second. This ultimate give you every thing you need to take down your prey, so this is the best way to use ![]() Escaping: Since ![]() Checking:Though it's a good way to use this skill, It's only strong when you have lv14 bonetooth necklace. With that, you can stay invisible for 10 seconds, which mean you can spend 5 seconds, running around, checking the enemy team, and 5 seconds left to track down the carry. This is a difficult way for newbies, remember that. |
Skill Sequence
GENERALTANKY
These two are my fovorite for
Rengar.
Ignite ensure the kill, while
Ghost have you catch up your prey, and work well with ultimate
Other choices
: Never a bad choice for any champion. You can replace
Ghost with this to escape after the assassination.
: For beginners, but I don't find this is a good way to play
Rengar.
Bad choices
: Though it's a good spell, you already had
Bola Strike, and with this build, it takes you only 2 seconds to take down the carry.
: Good early, extremely bad late game. Also, your
Battle Roar makes a better first-aid kit.
: You're manaless, you don't need this.
: Why the heck is
Smite in the bad list? Because we will not play
Rengar as a jungler in this build, sorry for all the jungle rengar fan.
: I don't plan on dying.
: What are you doing here?!?



Other choices




Bad choices










General
Precision
Fleet Footwork
Phase Rush
x9: Attack damage is important.
x9: Help
Rengar stand longer before AD champions.
x9:
Rengar is lack of magic resist.
x3: More attack damage
Overall: this runes page help you farm alot better, increase damage output early game.
Other choices
Greater Mark of armor penetrationx9: This could be a little hard early game, but late game damage is insane!
x3: A little bit faster to "catch their trail!"
Runes

Other choices
Greater Mark of armor penetrationx9: This could be a little hard early game, but late game damage is insane!

My masteries are 21-9-0, focus on maximum your damage output, as well as giving
Rengar more muscles.Important Masteries
Summoner's Wrath
: 5 bonus attack damage while
Ignite is on cooldown, a little help to your farming, and 8% bonus movement speed to
Ghost (35% bonus instead of 27%).
Weapon Expertise
Sunder
: armor penetration is never redundant for
Rengar.
lethality: critical damage is important in this build, since you will buy
Sword of the Divine in any build.
Frenzy
: important too, because you may need some more speed to finish your target if 3 times
Sword of the Divine are not enough.
Executioner
: low HP champions become your main target, or the third strike from
Sword of the Divine, which deal the least damage, will have enough power to execute the carry.
Durability
Veteran's Scars
: you're very squishy, this will have you survive
Ignite and poison.
Resistance
: I choose this instead of
Hardiness
because
Rengar's base magic resist is lower than base armor.



















This is the second important part, so please read carefully.
Starting Items
x3
Good starting items. Giving you mobility and durability.
Not a bad choice, but lack of mobility. Pick this if you choose greater mark of armor penetration.
x5
Extremely durable, use to against high AD champion such as
Renekton,
Garen,
Jayce.
Core Items
Good Items
In conclusion:
OFFENSIVE
TANKY
NO BONETOOTH
Those are just sample builds. Make your own build, depending on the game, but make sure to have
Bloodthirster and
Sword of the Divine.

The final part of the guide. Now I will show you how to play Rengar like a divine! What we need is all the cores:
Bloodthirster, bonetooth necklace and
Sword of the Divine. Some of you may do not know this new item of Season 3.
Sword of the Divine passively increases your attack speed by 45%, but will lose the effect if its "Active" is on cooldown. Active ability will gain you 100% and 100% critical chance in the next 3 seconds or 3 attacks, every kill and assist reduces the cooldown by half of the current cooldwon time. Cool right? Now is how the combe works:
+First, activate your
Ghost the n your ultimate
Thrill of the Hunt (you may not need to use
Ghost if it's on cooldown or you want to save it for later chase).
+After that, try to find your target (mainly is AD carry), wait for until the Ferocity bar is full.
+Then, leap into the target, quickly activate
Sword of the Divine, then
Savagery. The first hit : Empowered
Savagery with critical. Quickly press Q again to activate the second
Savagery to ensure another crit. The second hit :
Savagery with critical. And the last hit with
Sword of the Divine will be a normal attack.
So, have you imagined how powerful this combo is? Here the sequence:

(Normal attack)=>
