Lux vs Renekton

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Lux is a ranged artillery mage who must control the mid lane with poke and binding to deny Renekton early pressure.
Focus on maintaining lane control to prevent Renekton from stacking fury and forcing short burst trades.
This is a snowball matchup where Lux aims to outpoke and pick before Renekton can all-in or dive.

Trading pattern

Trade by poking with (E) and punish Renekton when he uses both (E) casts forward or has low fury.
Use (Q) to root and burst when Renekton's key cooldowns or mobility are down.
Avoid extended trades if (Q) is missed, as Renekton can capitalize with his stun and burst combo.

Danger windows

Respect Renekton's high fury empowered (W) stun and his double (E) dashes for engage and disengage.
Be cautious when Renekton has both (E) casts available and (W) empowered for quick burst trades.
Avoid extended fights after Renekton hits level 6 with (R) active, as he can convert short trades into all-ins.

Early game

Use (E) to poke and keep Renekton at bay before he reaches high fury.
Conserve (Q) to punish Renekton's overextensions but avoid reckless usage to prevent counter trades.
Prioritize wave control to avoid letting Renekton set up empowered trades with full (W) and (E) dashes.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to enable picks, roams, or defensive resets and force Renekton to respect your burst.
After your first completed mage item, increase pressure on waves and trades confidently.
Respect Renekton's level 3 spike when he gains full combo access and level 6 when (R) grants him durability and sustained damage.

Win conditions

Win by controlling lane with consistent (E) poke and punishing Renekton's cooldowns with (Q) root into burst.
Deny Renekton fury stacking and prevent him from engaging empowered trades by maintaining spacing.
Use your level 6 (R) window to secure picks, force roams, or reset safely to snowball lane control into objective pressure.
