How it works

General
  1. You play as burst oriented Mage.
  2. You build AP items.
  3. You rush Hextech Rocketbelt.

How to play

General
  1. Playing AP Rengar build, your default rush is Hextech Rocketbelt.
  2. Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
  3. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
Rengar AP specific
  1. Play this build like you would play any Assassin. You are going to be squishy. Do not jump in fights right away, you need to find good timing to unleash your combo.
  2. Damage is a bit lower than AD for single targets, but excels in AOE damage, aka damaging multiple squishies.
  3. The killing things combo is (jump) Q - E (midair) - W - W (on landing, cast is instant if its normal > empowered. empowered > normal has a delay) wait with the second W if there's CC flying at you.
  4. Your favorite spot is going to be bushes. Try securing this spot for you and for your team.

Tips and Tricks

Riot
  1. Use Rengar's ultimate to find and assassinate high priority targets in team fights and skirmishes.
  2. A lot of Rengar's power comes from empowered abilities he uses at the right moment - choose wisely!
  3. Make sure to take paths through brush when chasing opponents to take advantage of Rengar's passive.
