Renekton vs Cassiopeia

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Renekton should leverage his early lane pressure and burst trades to deny Cassiopeia a calm scaling lane in mid.
Prioritize aggressive wave control and short trades using fury to prevent Cassiopeia from safely applying poison and extending fights.

Trading pattern

Trade only when fury is high and (W) is empowered to stun and burst before Cassiopeia can retaliate.
Punish Cassiopeia when she misses (Q) or (W) by engaging quickly with (E) and exiting with the second dash.
Avoid using both (E) dashes forward without securing a kill or wave advantage to prevent being vulnerable to Cassiopeia's sustained damage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is available to ground your dashes and limit your escape or engage options.
Avoid committing when (R) is up and you are facing her directly to prevent getting stunned.
Do not overextend after using both (E) dashes forward, as you become vulnerable to Cassiopeia's sustained (E) damage and crowd control.

Early game

Push early waves to force Cassiopeia to farm under tower and limit her ability to land (Q) and apply poison.
Use level 3 power spike to execute full short trades with (E), empowered (W), and (Q) while maintaining an exit with the second (E).
Avoid extended fights where Cassiopeia can repeatedly cast (E) on poisoned targets; reset after short bursts.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full combo with (E), empowered (W), and (Q) to burst Cassiopeia before she can respond.
At level 6, activate (R) to increase health and damage, enabling all-ins or dives when Cassiopeia is already chipped.
Respect Cassiopeia's level 6 (R) stun window by avoiding direct face-to-face commits and waiting for it to expire before engaging.

Win conditions

Snowball early by controlling the wave and forcing short trades with high fury and empowered (W) stuns.
Use (R) to convert early leads into all-ins or dives once Cassiopeia is low or trapped.
Deny Cassiopeia the opportunity to scale by preventing extended trades and punishing missed (Q) or (W) cooldowns with quick burst combos.
