Renekton vs Vladimir

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Renekton should leverage his early lane pressure to deny Vladimir a calm, scaling mid lane.
Prioritize aggressive short trades with fury and quick resets to prevent Vladimir from safely farming and scaling.

Trading pattern

Trade only when fury is high and (W) stun is available to maximize burst and force (W) defensively.
Use (E) dash in and save the second cast for a clean exit to avoid punishment.
Exploit windows when Vladimir's empowered (Q) is down by increasing trade frequency and aggression.

Danger windows

Beware of (W) untargetability and slow, especially if used to dodge your engage; punish its cooldown.
Respect Vladimir's empowered (Q) ready state as it increases his burst and sustain in trades.
Avoid extended fights after using both (E) dashes forward without an exit path, as Vladimir can punish your immobility.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to establish wave control and stack fury for empowered trades before Vladimir can safely respond.
Avoid extended fights early, focusing on quick (E) engage, empowered (W) stun, and (Q) healing trades.
Punish Vladimir when he uses (W) to avoid damage, as it has a long cooldown and health cost.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full (Q), (W), (E) combo with fury to dominate trades and force Vladimir back.
At level 6, activate (R) to convert short trades into all-ins or dives when Vladimir is chipped or trapped.
Respect Vladimir's level 6 (R) window by avoiding prolonged fights and holding key cooldowns for defense.

Win conditions

Snowball early lane pressure by forcing Vladimir to burn (W) and punishing the cooldown with empowered trades.
Deny Vladimir safe farming and scaling by controlling wave state and resetting before he can respond.
Use level 6 (R) all-in power to secure kills or force Vladimir out, snowballing the lead into mid-game dominance.
