Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control mid wave with (Q) to maintain safe spacing and deny Renekton's early aggression.
Use your (W) and (E) to punish Renekton's dashes and empowered trades, turning lane pressure into roam opportunities.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) to poke and chip health while staying out of Renekton's engage range.
Hold (W) and (E) to punish Renekton when he commits with empowered (W) or dashes through your (E) zone.
Avoid trading if (W) and (E) are down or if Renekton still has both (E) casts available for escape or engage.

Danger windows

Beware when Renekton has high fury and empowered (W) ready; avoid extended trades during this window.
Respect his double (E) dash for engage and disengage; punish only if he uses both casts forward.
Be cautious after using (W) and (E) as your main peel and punish tools are down, increasing vulnerability to his burst.

Early game

Focus on short poke with (Q) and hold (W) and (E) to counter Renekton's level 3 all-in potential.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 unless Renekton uses both (E) casts forward, then punish aggressively.
Push wave safely to create room for roams while tracking jungle and river threats.

Power spikes

At level 6, leverage (R) for map plays and avoid forced all-ins without vision and cooldowns.
After your first mage item, increase wave pressure and poke confidence while respecting Renekton's empowered (W) stun.
Respect Renekton's level 3 full combo and level 6 (R) for his all-in windows; punish if he wastes (E) dashes.

Win conditions

Win by controlling the mid wave with (Q) and punishing Renekton's forward movement through (E) and (W).
Use wave pressure to create roam opportunities and apply map pressure with (R).
Deny Renekton's early lane dominance by punishing cooldowns and forcing him to waste fury and mobility before he can all-in.
