This Rengar Build Guide itemizes to be an 'assassin like', tanky champion that does really good damage. Rengar is a manaless champion that has strong gank potential followed up by immense damage and he has his own special item in the shop that helps him snowball the game.
Quintessences and Marks: Getting a mix of attack damage and armor penetration is great for Rengar. It increases your jungling speed by a fair amount and the armor penetration syergizes with the 3 Trophy armor penetration, Brutalizer, and the Sunder mastery. Seals: Armor decreases the damage you take in the jungle early game, allows for you to tower diver better and makes you overall more tanky. Glyphs: I pick scaling Cooldown reduction to go well with the 4% in masteries and your items.
Alternative Rune Builds:
Magic Resistance glyphs work well if you feel as you need it. If you do decide to go MR glyphs, i suggest making the most out the stats. Go 5 Flat Glyphs and 4 Mr/lvl Glyphs to obtian optimal MR stats throughout the game.
Masteries
Points Available:30 / 30
9/21/0 is the bread-butter for tanky-bruiser junglers and it goes perfectly well with Rengar's kit. However unlike most bruiser jungles, you want the cooldown reduction instead of the attack speed, you are cooldown dependent and your Savagery already gives a boost of attack speed half the time.
Summoner Spells
Flash
Teleports your Champion to target nearby location under your mouse cursor.
Flash
Smite
Deals 460 + (lvl x 30) true damage to target enemy minion or pet.
Smite
Flash
Flash is necessary on most champions, and one of those is Rengar. It allows for an instant gap closer to land Bola Strike or make use of the ability to leap in Thrill of the Hunt in order to secure kills when ganking early game.
Smite
Smite is necessary to secure monster objectives such as Dragon and Baron and runic buff objectives such as Blue and Red. It also increases your jungling speed. A good thing to do when using Smite is to hover over the icon to see how much damage Smite will do and last hit the monster objectives once their HP falls below your current smite damage.
i disagree on this build its smarter to build frozen mallet or black cleaver cause off the ad,slows,cd and health thats at least my way off building rengar. after those i build the ad such as bloodthirster for my q or trinity for when im so fed ill troll with crit leep and other iteams depending on the enemy team and my team. and pron nice tip i havent thought of that
Pro-tip: It is possible to use Smite while Thrill of the Hunt (R) is active without breaking stealth, this allows for one of the sneakiest Baron/Dragon-steals in League. It is also possible (I recommend it for Assassin Rengar) to use a ferocious Q, ult and wait for feriocity to stack back to five before you jump a victim and land not one, but TWO orange Q's in a squishy's face before proceeding with normal Q and whatever else if they're not dead yet.
Thanks to Daktush (http://www.lolking.net/guides/79216) for his guide, helping me understand Rengar. I will continue trying to master him until I...get bored of it. I would also like to thank you, Lexvink, for making this guide. I have changed my masteries, runes and added items to my build to try out a tankier role with my newfound favourite.
Any new updates for this guide?? Is Rengar still viable for ranked games? He happens to be one of my favorite junglers but after the nerfs I barely see him anymore. I used to build AD on him like Lee Sin, but lately I found it's more successful to build him as tanky as you can get.
Warmog's, Bulwark, Mercury's Treads/Mobility boots (depending on the game), Randuin's and if the game goes well, Tri force and Black Cleaver or Malmortius
My ideal Jungle build when doing well would be the following: Mercury's Treads, Wriggle's Lantern, Bonetooth Necklace, Phage, Spirit Visage and Maw of Malmortius.
If doing good I would swap Wriggles with The Bloodthirster and would build Frozen Mallet if need to be tanky and if not I would build into Trinity Force.
I used your rune set up and tweaked a few points in mastery page. This guide help me finally win a game jungling as Rengar lol
Except for a few junglers, Wriggle's is pretty much useless atm. It's better to sit on Madred's Razors the whole game, since Wriggle's cost so much for such low stats it gives, think about it, 900 more gold for just +15 AD +5 armor and %10 lifesteal. For just 100 more gold you can get a nice Giant's Belt, which Rengar absolutely needs.
Your explanation of your mastery page is a bit off. You mention the Sunder Mastery in your description yet on your Mastery page you have not even put a point into Sunder.
Fixed it. The Masteries were not updated, not sure why, but it should be 9/21 with a focus in CDR and % armor pent in the offense tree and your normal 21 points in the defense tree with some variations.
Twitch has the same and i dont see people whining at him. The only difference from Twitch is that the initial delay is 1.25 but Rengar got buffed and they put his stealth down to 1 sec compared to Twitchs 1.25.

Posted 1/19/2013 4:28:14 AMYou know they changed that also right?
Initial delay reduced to 1 second from 1.25 (still can be delayed up to 3 seconds).
Stealth duration increased to 7 seconds from 5.
Even a better stealth than Twitch, which makes a little sense cause it's an ultimate.
