Scuttle Contest

At level 3, you win the scuttle fight against Rengar by engaging before he can access a bush, as his empowered Q requires a leap from brush and your E knock-up disrupts his combo timing.
From level 6, your sure win condition is forcing a fight in an open area of the river or your own jungle where Rengar cannot use bushes to reset ferocity, then using your R to both deal damage and deny his ability to safely disengage.

Rengar will most likely start on the side of the map with the most bush access near his camps (typically Red Buff side top), look for an early level 2-3 invade or cheese on your buff, and prioritize getting to level 6 as fast as possible to unlock his assassination potential.
Expect him to hover near mid or top lane bushes for early gank setups rather than taking a standard full clear path.

You should not proactively invade Rengar's jungle pre-level 6 unless you have vision of his location, as he can be hiding in a bush adjacent to any camp and an ambush empowered Q at low HP will heavily favor him.
If you do invade, do so at 3:30-4:00 with full HP after a clean clear, targeting his second buff with a ward placed first to confirm he is not nearby.

Do not underestimate Rengar's burst at level 6 when you are below 40% HP — your W passive revival requires you to survive the initial damage spike, but a fully stacked Rengar with empowered Q and E can delete you before the passive threshold triggers, so avoid soloing objectives without vision when low.
