How to beat Renekton

Common role: Top

An early-game lane bully who stuns, heals, and snowballs before falling off.

What makes Renekton dangerous

Renekton builds Fury to empower his abilities — a healing slash (Q), a dash (E) he can use twice to engage and escape, and a stun (W). He's one of the strongest early laners, looking to snowball a lead through level 2-6 aggression. His weakness is that he fades hard in the late game.

How to play against Renekton

• 1Survive his early spikes and outscale him. Renekton is strongest levels 2-6 — play safe when he has Fury and punish when it's empty.
• 2Bait his empowered W stun before you commit. Without Fury his W doesn't stun — trade when his Fury bar is low.
• 3Respect his double E: he dashes in and can dash back out. Don't over-commit to a trade he can escape and re-engage from.
• 4In teamfights he's a short-range diver with no reliable CC beyond his stun. Kite him and focus your damage on his carries.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Falls off hard in the mid-to-late game.
• ✓Empowered abilities need Fury — punish an empty bar.
• ✓No ranged threat; kiteable in fights.
• ✓Grievous Wounds cuts his Q healing.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Renekton's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Herrschaft des Zorns

  Renektons Angriffe generieren Zorn. Dieser Effekt ist erhöht, wenn er über wenig Leben verfügt. Dieser Zorn kann seine Fähigkeiten mit zusätzlichen Effekten verstärken.

  Strong: Fury empowers his abilities into big damage, heal and stun. Weak: with an empty Fury bar his power drops — trade when it's low.

• Q
  Fällen der Demütigen

  Renekton schlägt um sich, wobei er mäßigen normalen Schaden an allen Zielen um ihn herum verursacht und sich in Höhe eines kleinen Teils des verursachten Schadens heilt. Besitzt er mehr als 50 Zorn, so verursacht er mehr Schaden und stellt mehr Leben wieder her.

• W
  Rücksichtsloser Räuber

  Renekton schlitzt sein Ziel 2 Mal auf, verursacht dabei mäßigen normalen Schaden und betäubt es 0,75 Sekunden lang. Besitzt er mehr als 50 Zorn, so schlägt er 3 Mal zu, zerstört Schaden abschirmende Schilde, die auf das Ziel wirken, verursacht hohen normalen Schaden und betäubt das Ziel 1,5 Sekunden lang.

  Strong: empowered W stuns and does heavy damage. Weak: without Fury it doesn't stun — bait it, then trade.

• E
  Schnitt und Tritt

  Renekton stürmt nach vorne und verursacht an allen getroffenen Gegnern Schaden. Bemächtigt verursacht Renekton zusätzlichen Schaden und verringert die Rüstung der getroffenen Einheiten.

  Strong: two dashes to engage and escape. Weak: don't over-commit to a trade he can dash out of and re-engage.

• R
  Dominus

  Renekton nimmt die Gestalt des Tyrannen an, wodurch er zusätzliches Leben erhält und an allen umstehenden Gegnern Schaden verursacht. In dieser Gestalt erhöht sich Renektons Zorn zusätzlich pro Sekunde und für jeden getroffenen Champion.

Itemization

Renekton is AD with healing. Grievous Wounds and armor (Plated Steelcaps) blunt his early all-ins, and scaling into the late game beats him outright. Ranged tops can poke and deny his short-range aggression.
