Rengar vs Pantheon in Jungle lane is a hard lane on patch 26.14. The one thing to respect: when he stuns you he unloads his whole combo — save your empowered W to survive it, not to open. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it
DO
Save W for his stun
Hold your empowered W for his stun — that's when he dumps his full damage; blow it early and you lose the 1v1.
Fight on low stacks
Engage when his passive stacks are spent — he can't block your burst then, so stack your ferocity first and commit.
Ward his ult roam
Post-6 he counterganks from anywhere — his ult rotates lanes fast, so respect the map before you dive.
DON'T
Never jump onto Pantheon first in a teamfight — bait his engage, then leap the backline once his cooldowns are down.
