- Lv 6Ultimate rank 1 at level 6The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Rengar hits it.
- Lv 11Ultimate rank 2 at level 11Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Rengar can start or win.
- Lv 16Ultimate rank 3 at level 16Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Rengar can start or win.
