Renekton vs K'Sante

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Renekton should leverage his high early game agency and lane pressure to dominate K'Sante before he scales.
Prioritize denying K'Sante safe farming and stacking (Q) to prevent his control and displacement potential.
This is a snowball-style matchup where Renekton must press early advantages to avoid K'Sante's mid-game strength.

Trading pattern

Trade only with high fury and empowered (W) ready, using (E) to engage and exit before K'Sante can respond.
Punish K'Sante when his (W) displacement and (Q3) stacks are down to reduce his defensive and damage threat.
Avoid extended trades when your second (E) cast is unavailable, as K'Sante can punish your lack of escape.

Danger windows

Beware when K'Sante has (Q3) stacks and (W) ready, as his knockback and damage reduction can punish your trades.
Respect (R) form, especially near terrain, since he gains dueling power and displacement.
Avoid all-in fights after using both (E) casts forward, as you lose mobility and become vulnerable to counter-engage.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to aggressively stack fury and execute short burst trades with (E) + empowered (W) before K'Sante can safely trade.
Avoid committing both (E) dashes forward without a clear kill or wave control to prevent being punished.
Keep wave control to prevent K'Sante from safely farming and stacking (Q) for his damage windows.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full (Q), (W), (E) combo with stacked fury to burst K'Sante before he can trade back.
At level 6, activate (R) to increase durability and convert short trades into all-ins or dives when K'Sante is already chipped.
Respect K'Sante's level 6 (R) which enables him to isolate and displace; avoid fighting near terrain angles where he can maximize this.

Win conditions

Snowball early by controlling the wave, stacking fury, and forcing short empowered trades to chunk K'Sante.
Deny K'Sante safe farming and (Q) stacking to delay his power spikes and reduce his displacement threat.
Use (R) to turn short trades into decisive all-ins or dives when K'Sante is low or out of position, securing lane dominance before mid-game.
