Rengar's Abilities

Unseen Predator Rengar's Passive

600

While in brush, basic attacking causes Rengar to leap towards his target. Leaping to enter combat generates 1 Ferocity. At 4 Ferocity his next ability is empowered. Casting an empowered ability grants 30 / 40 / 50% (at levels 1 / 7 / 13) bonus movement speed for 1.5 seconds. Whenever a unique champion is killed within 1.5 seconds of taking damage from him, Rengar's attack damage is permanently increased:

1 trophy: +1% bonus attack damage
2 trophies: +4% attack damage
3 trophies: +9% attack damage
4 trophies: +16% attack damage
5 trophies: +25% attack damage

Savagery Rengar's Q Ability

Self

6 / 5.5 / 5 / 4.5 / 4

Rengar's next 2 attacks gain 40% attack speed. The first attack deals an additional 30 / 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 (+0 / 0.05 / 0.1 / 0.15 / 0.2% attack damage) physical damage.

Max Ferocity: The first attack deals 30 - 235 (+0.4 attack damage) (depending on level) physical damage and grants Rengar 50 − 101% (depending on level) attack speed for 5 seconds.

Battle Roar Rengar's W Ability

450

16 / 14.5 / 13 / 11.5 / 10

Rengar roars, dealing 50 / 80 / 110 / 140 / 170 (+80% of ability power) magic damage to nearby enemies and restoring 50% of the damage taken in the last 1.5 seconds as health.

Max Ferocity: Deals 50−220 (+80% of ability power) magic damage and additionally cleanses Rengar of crowd control (depending on level).

Bola Strike Rengar's E Ability

1000

Rengar throws a bola in the target direction, dealing 55 / 100 / 145 / 190 / 235 (+0.8 per attack damage) physical damage to the first enemy hit and slowing them by 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 / 90% for 1.75 seconds.

Max Ferocity: Deals 50−305 (+0.8 per attack damage) physical damage and roots for 1.75 seconds (depending on level).

Thrill of the Hunt Rengar's Ultimate (R) Ability

Self

110 / 90 / 70 / 70 / 70

Rengar activates his predatory instincts, becoming camouflaged after 2 seconds for 12 / 16 / 20 seconds. While active, Rengar gains 40 / 50 / 60% bonus movement speed and vision of the nearest enemy champion within 2500 / 3000 / 3500 range, revealing them for the duration of the ability. Rengar can leap without being in brush during this time, dealing 150% of his total attack damage and shredding 12 / 18 / 24 of the target's armor for 4 seconds. Attacking or using abilities ends Thrill of the Hunt.

Eyes appear over the head of the target Rengar gains vision of when Rengar is within 1600 range of his target. Enemies within 1200 range of the target champion will also see the eyes above the target's head.

The cooldown for Thrill of the Hunt begins after Rengar loses his camouflage.
