Prioritize maintaining lane pressure to prevent Renekton from freely stacking fury and executing empowered trades.
This is a snowball matchup where Warwick aims to dominate early duels and capitalize on suppression picks.

Trading pattern

Engage in melee-range extended trades, using (E) to fear and reduce damage from Renekton's burst.
Punish Renekton after he uses both (E) dashes forward by stepping up for trades.

Power spikes

At level 6, leverage (R) to force picks or all-ins from a distance, especially when Renekton cannot dodge.
Respect Renekton's level 3 full combo with empowered (W) and his level 6 (R) that increases his durability and damage.
