Ryze vs Renekton

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Ryze is a scaling mage who must manage wave control to safely farm and avoid Renekton's early burst trades.
Focus on avoiding early health loss and use controlled spell rotations to outscale Renekton's early lane pressure.

Trading pattern

Trade by applying (E) to spread marks and follow up quickly with (Q), then use (W) to root Renekton if he commits.
Punish Renekton when his fury is low or after he uses both (E) casts forward, as his burst and escape options are limited.
Avoid trading when low on mana or without (W) available, as you cannot follow up or peel effectively against his burst.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Renekton has high fury and (W) is available, as he can stun and burst you quickly.
Respect his ability to dash twice with (E), especially if he still has the second cast to escape or chase.
Avoid extended trades or staying low under wave pressure after level 6 when Renekton's all-in threat increases.

Early game

Prioritize safe farming and avoid extended trades before your first mana/AP item to reduce Renekton's early aggression impact.
Use (E) and (Q) poke only when you have mana and space, and hold (W) to punish Renekton's overcommitments.
Avoid stepping too far forward without (W) ready to prevent getting stunned and burst traded.

Power spikes

After your first mana/AP item, increase pressure on the wave and trades while tracking Renekton's cooldowns.
At level 6, use (R) to create map pressure or escape, but avoid forcing fights without vision or cooldown advantage.
Respect Renekton's level 3 full combo and level 6 (R) power spikes by playing cautiously and spacing to avoid his empowered trades.

Win conditions

Survive early lane pressure by farming safely and using (W) to punish Renekton's committed engages.
Scale through controlled spell rotations and use waveclear to enable map plays with (R) for side pressure.
Exploit windows when Renekton's fury or (E) casts are down to trade aggressively and deny him lane control.
