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
  Reino de la ira

  Los ataques de Renekton generan furia que aumenta cuando tiene poca vida. Esta furia puede potenciar sus habilidades con efectos adicionales.

  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
  Preferencia por el dócil

  Renekton blande su hoja, infligiendo una cantidad moderada de daño físico a todos los objetivos que lo rodean y recibe una curación equivalente a una pequeña parte del daño infligido. Si tiene más de 50 puntos de furia, aumentan su daño y su curación.

• W
  Depredador implacable

  Renekton da dos tajos a su objetivo, lo que le inflige una cantidad moderada de daño físico y lo aturde durante 0,75 s. Si Renekton tiene más de 50 puntos de furia, da tres tajos a su objetivo, con lo que destruye los escudos que lo protejan, le inflige mucho daño físico y lo aturde durante 1,5 s.

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

• E
  Cortar y trocear

  Renekton se arroja hacia la dirección marcada, causando daño a todas las unidades que se encuentre en el camino. Si está potenciado, Renekton inflige daño adicional y reduce la armadura de los enemigos impactados.

  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 se transforma en tirano, ganando vida adicional y causando daño a los enemigos que lo rodean. Mientras está en esta forma, Renekton gana furia periódicamente.

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.
