Renekton vs Qiyana

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Renekton must leverage early lane pressure and high fury trades to deny Qiyana safe scaling and roam opportunities.
Control the mid wave tempo to prevent Qiyana from setting up terrain-based all-ins and roaming windows.

Trading pattern

Engage trades with (E) dash plus empowered (W) stun, then finish with (Q) and exit using the second (E) dash.
Punish Qiyana when her (E) dash is down or after she commits without lethal threat.
Avoid trading when fury is low or both (E) casts are spent forward to prevent being counterpunished.

Danger windows

Respect (R) stun near terrain or river; avoid extended fights in these zones when (R) is up.
Be cautious when Qiyana has the correct element prepared and (E) available for lethal engages.
Vulnerable after using both (E) dashes forward without a safe exit path; avoid overcommitting trades then.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to aggressively build fury and force short trades before Qiyana has her full combo.
Avoid extended fights when low on fury or after using both (E) dashes to maintain safety.
Prioritize wave control to limit Qiyana's access to terrain and river for her (R) threat.

Power spikes

Level 3: Use full (Q)+(W)+(E) combo with high fury for strong burst trades; punish Qiyana's cooldowns.
Level 6: Activate (R) to increase durability and convert short trades into all-ins or dives.
Respect Qiyana's level 3 unlock of (Q)-(W)-(E) element setup and level 6 (R) for burst windows; avoid extended trades during these times.

Win conditions

Snowball early by stacking fury and forcing empowered trades to deny Qiyana wave control and roam.
Use (R) to force decisive fights when Qiyana is chipped or trapped near wave or jungle.
Maintain lane priority to crash waves and set up dives, preventing Qiyana from accessing terrain for her all-ins.
