Renekton vs Aurora

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Renekton must use early lane pressure and high fury trades to deny Aurora a calm scaling mid lane.
Control the wave and force short trades to prevent Aurora from finding picks or safely farming.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Renekton aims to snowball early leads before Aurora's burst and mobility become threatening.

Trading pattern

Trade with high fury using (E) to engage, empowered (W) to stun, (Q) to heal, then exit with second (E) cast.
Punish after Aurora uses (W) invisibility as she loses quick escape; trade back aggressively then.
Avoid trading when fury is low or both (E) casts are spent forward without exit path to prevent punishment.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (R) is available as she can burst and reposition for picks.
Avoid extended trades when fury is low or after spending both (E) casts forward without escape.
Watch for jungle pressure during your aggressive plays; hard push and reset if Aurora roams to avoid ganks.

Early game

Push early waves to keep Aurora under tower and punish her low range and dodgable (E) animation.
Use level 3 power spike to trade aggressively with full (Q), (W), and (E) combo when fury is high.
Avoid extended fights before level 6; focus on short trades and stacking fury for burst windows.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full combo (Q)+(W)+(E) with high fury to burst Aurora before she can respond.
At level 6, activate (R) to add health and damage, converting short trades into all-ins when Aurora is chipped.
Respect Aurora's level 6 (R) for burst and mobility; hold key defensive tools and punish after her ultimate is used.

Win conditions

Use early wave control and fury-enhanced short trades to build a lead before Aurora scales.
Force Aurora out of lane or low HP by punishing her long (E) animation and lack of range.
Use (R) to force decisive fights or dives once Aurora is chipped or trapped under wave pressure.
