Renekton vs Viktor

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Renekton should leverage his high early game agency and lane pressure to deny Viktor a calm scaling mid lane.
Use early wave control and short fury trades to prevent Viktor from safely farming and evolving his abilities.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades with (E) dash in, empowered (W) stun, and (Q) for sustain, then exit with second (E) if the all-in is not guaranteed.
Punish Viktor when his (W) is down or poorly placed by engaging quickly to avoid his zone control.
Respect (Q) shield and movement speed boost; avoid trading when his shield is active or his (W) stun is ready.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) zone control is up and positioned well to stun and slow your engage.
Avoid committing when low on fury or after using both (E) casts forward without a safe escape.
Track (R) ultimate availability; avoid extended trades or all-ins while it is active and ready.

Early game

Aggressively pressure Viktor before level 6 using short trades with (E) plus empowered (W) and (Q) to stack fury and chip him down.
Avoid extended trades when low on fury or after using both (E) dashes forward without a safe exit.
Keep wave on your side to enable repeated short trades and prevent Viktor from comfortably farming.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full (Q), (W), (E) combo with high fury for strong short trades and lane dominance.
At level 6, activate (R) for increased health and damage to convert leads into all-ins or dives.
Respect Viktor's level 6 (R) and first completed item spike by avoiding extended fights and holding key cooldowns for counter-engage.

Win conditions

Snowball early lane pressure by stacking fury and forcing short empowered trades before Viktor scales.
Deny Viktor safe farm and evolution by punishing cooldowns, especially (W) downtime and poor positioning.
Use level 6 (R) to force all-ins or dives when Viktor is chipped or trapped under wave pressure to secure kills or plates.
