Renekton vs Ahri

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Renekton must leverage his early lane pressure and high agency to deny Ahri a calm scaling mid lane.
Focus on snowballing through short burst trades and controlling wave tempo to prevent Ahri from roaming or setting up picks.

Trading pattern

Trade explosively with full fury by dashing in with (E), stunning with empowered (W), hitting (Q), then dashing out with second (E).
Punish Ahri when her (E) is on cooldown or if she wastes her mobility, as she is vulnerable to burst trades then.
Avoid committing to extended fights if both (E) casts are used forward or if Ahri’s (R) is available for escape and counterplay.

Danger windows

Beware when Ahri’s (E) is up and you have low fury or no second (E) cast to escape; avoid risky trades then.
Avoid overcommitting when Ahri’s (R) is available, as she can reposition and punish your engage.
Be cautious if you use both (E) dashes forward without wave or cooldown support, as Ahri can capitalize on your lack of mobility.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to aggressively stack fury and force short trades with (E) plus empowered (W) before Ahri hits level 6.
Avoid extended trades when low on fury or after using both (E) casts forward to prevent getting charmed or poked down.
Maintain wave control to keep Ahri under pressure and limit her ability to safely farm or roam.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full (Q), (W), and (E) combo with high fury to win short trades and establish lane dominance.
At level 6, activate (R) to gain health and damage for all-ins, converting lane pressure into kills or tower plates.
Respect Ahri’s level 6 (R) as it enables her to dodge your engage and punish overextensions; play around its cooldown.

Win conditions

Snowball early by winning level 3 trades and maintaining high fury for empowered burst combos.
Deny Ahri safe farming and roam opportunities by controlling wave and applying pressure before her level 6 spike.
Use (R) to force decisive all-ins after chipping Ahri down, aiming to convert lane advantage into kills or tower plates quickly.
