The jungle race — the windows in Rengar's plan

Read from Rengar's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Morgana.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearRengar DominantA brush-side Savagery leap is the hardest level-1 opener in the jungle. Later in the game this bites, because a three-second Dark Binding root in a jungle corridor is a death sentence. But before either of you has a second camp down none of it is online, so take the level-1 crossing and tax every camp Morgana concedes.
Level 2 SkirmishRengar DominantBattle Roar's heal plus ferocity stacking wins extended buff fights, while Dark Binding is gank bait, not duel material. Only one of those wins on the second camp, so press it: take the level-2 skirmish, then leave with the second buff and the tempo that comes with it.
Level 3 RouteRengar DominantA 4-ferocity empowered Q already one-shots squishier junglers near any bush. Black Shield protects a teammate's gank, and as the first scuttle timer lands that is not an answer. Take the level-3 river fight and make Morgana path away from the camps you want.
Levels 4-5 MacroRengar Dominant — Keep FightingLevels 4-5 change nothing: you still win every straight duel vs Morgana, and her 4-5 is a Dark Binding gank window beside her laners, with Black Shield making the counter-gank fail. Sit in their river, take both scuttles, and tax the camps they concede.
Level 6 BreakpointThrill of the Hunt FavouredThrill of the Hunt opens every fight with an unanswerable stealth leap. Morgana's six is not empty — the Shackles' delayed second stun wins any fight you let run long near her. Take the duel from even health rather than from behind, and break the tether range immediately — the second proc is the kill.
First Item SpikeProfane Hydra SpikeCompleting your core item triggers a massive physical damage and burst multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers or assassin targets. Morgana's first item makes the binding-into-zone rotation a real chunk instead of a set-up for somebody else.
2+ Items ScalingRengar Favoured at Full BuildFull-build math leans your way: extended fights and side-lane duels favor you over Morgana — make late fights about 1v1s, not coin-flips.

How to beat Morgana as Rengar: the first clear and pathing

Start your clear at the Red Buff camp to maximize early health retention via W heal loops before executing a fast full clear straight into an aggressive scuttle crab contest. Morgana clears very fast with Tormented Shadow and stays healthy off her passive, so her early tempo is better than it looks.
