Renekton vs Gragas

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Renekton must use his early lane pressure and high agency to deny Gragas a passive farming lane and force short trades on his terms.
This is a snowball matchup where Renekton aims to build a lead through fury-powered burst trades and early wave control before Gragas scales.

Trading pattern

Use high fury to dash in with (E), stun with empowered (W), hit (Q) for healing, and dash out with the second (E) to avoid Gragas's counter-engage.
Punish Gragas when his (E) is on cooldown or missed, as he loses both engage and escape options.
Avoid extended fights after using both (E) casts forward, as this leaves you vulnerable to Gragas's burst and displacement.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Gragas has (E) ready, as his stun can interrupt your engage or punish overextensions.
Respect (R) displacement, which can isolate you or disrupt your all-in timing.
Avoid trading with low fury or after using both (E) casts forward, as you become vulnerable to Gragas's burst and crowd control.

Early game

Push early waves to stack fury and create opportunities for empowered (W) trades before Gragas can safely engage.
Avoid using both (E) dashes forward without a clear exit path to prevent getting punished by (E) stun.
Focus on short trades around level 3 when all core abilities are available to maximize burst and exit before Gragas can retaliate.

Power spikes

At level 3, Renekton gains full combo potential; trade aggressively with full fury and all abilities ready.
At level 6, use (R) to add durability and convert short trades into all-ins or dives when Gragas is already pressured.
Respect Gragas's level 6 (R) displacement; avoid committing when his ultimate is available and punish after it is spent.

Win conditions

Snowball early by controlling the wave and forcing empowered short trades to chip Gragas down before he scales.
Use level 6 (R) to turn leads into decisive all-ins or tower dives when Gragas is low or trapped.
Punish missed (E) stuns and cooldowns aggressively to deny Gragas safe trading windows and maintain lane dominance.
