Renekton vs Lissandra

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Renekton should use his early lane pressure to deny Lissandra a calm scaling mid lane by forcing short trades with fury and wave control.
Prioritize controlling the wave and stacking fury to enable empowered burst trades before Lissandra can safely engage or scale.

Trading pattern

Engage trades with high fury using (E) dash in, empowered (W) stun, then (Q) for healing and finish by dashing out with the second (E).
Punish Lissandra when her (W) root or (R) stun are on cooldown by forcing quick trades and backing off before she can retaliate.
Avoid extended fights after expending both (E) dashes or when fury is low, as Lissandra can punish with her crowd control chain.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) root and (R) stun are available as she can punish melee commits harshly.
Avoid overextending after using both (E) dashes forward, as you lose escape options against her crowd control.
Track her (E) engage cooldown; if she uses it without follow-up, look to punish her vulnerability but respect her ability to flank.

Early game

Use level 1 and 2 to stack fury and position for short trades without overcommitting into Lissandra's root (W) range.
At level 3, execute full combos with (E), empowered (W), and (Q) to punish Lissandra before she gains defensive cooldowns.
Avoid using both (E) dashes forward without a clear exit path to prevent being locked down by her crowd control.

Power spikes

At level 3, Renekton gains full combo burst with (Q), (W), and (E); trade aggressively with fury and a planned exit.
Level 6 (R) grants Renekton extra health and damage for all-ins; use it to convert leads into kills or tower pressure.
Respect Lissandra's level 6 (R) lockdown; avoid committing without her ultimate down or without jungle support.

Win conditions

Snowball early by controlling waves, stacking fury, and forcing short trades that chip Lissandra before she can engage.
Use level 6 (R) to force decisive all-ins once Lissandra's defensive cooldowns are down or she is low on health.
Deny Lissandra safe farming and scaling by maintaining lane pressure and punishing her cooldowns to prevent her from setting up roams or teamfights.
