Akali vs Renekton

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Akali must use her high mobility and (W) shroud to pressure Renekton and deny him easy early trades.
Prioritize lane pressure and aggressive trading windows to prevent Renekton from stacking fury and controlling tempo.

Trading pattern

Start trades with (Q) poke and passive autos, then commit with (W) or (E) when Renekton is exposed and fury is low.
Punish when Renekton uses both (E) dashes forward, as he loses escape options.
Avoid trading when (W) shroud is down or when Renekton has high fury and empowered (W) ready.

Danger windows

Renekton is dangerous when fury is high and empowered (W) is available; avoid trading during this window.
Be cautious when Renekton has both (E) casts ready, as he can engage and disengage effectively.
After using (W) shroud, Akali is vulnerable if Renekton waits out or steps out of it; avoid overcommitting in these moments.

Early game

Use (W) to create safe zones for trades and avoid Renekton's empowered (W) burst.
Avoid extended fights before level 3; after unlocking (Q)-(W)-(E), look for quick poke into passive autos before committing.
Manage energy and cooldowns carefully to maintain trading potential against Renekton's early burst.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Akali's full combo (Q)-(W)-(E) for safe and effective trades; use this to pressure Renekton before he can engage.
Level 6 (R) grants Akali kill pressure and escape; track ultimate cooldown for all-ins or defensive resets.
Respect Renekton's level 3 full combo and level 6 (R) for burst and durability; avoid extended trades during these spikes.

Win conditions

Use (W) shroud to create safe windows for extended trades and all-ins, denying Renekton early lane control.
Exploit Renekton's cooldowns and fury management mistakes by punishing when his escape is down.
Snowball early pressure into side-lane picks and burst all-ins, leveraging Akali's mobility and burst to dominate the lane and influence the map.
