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
  Règne de la colère

  Les attaques de Renekton génèrent de la Fureur, et encore plus quand il lui reste peu de PV. Cette Fureur peut renforcer ses compétences en leur conférant des effets supplémentaires.

  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
  Destruction des faibles

  Renekton lance une attaque circulaire, infligeant des dégâts physiques modérés à tous les ennemis qui l'entourent et se soignant d'un montant égal à une petite portion des dégâts infligés. S'il a plus de 50 pts de Fureur, les dégâts et les soins augmentent.

• W
  Prédateur impitoyable

  Renekton frappe deux fois la cible en infligeant des dégâts physiques modérés et en l'étourdissant pendant 0.75 sec. Si Renekton a plus de 50 pts de Fureur, il frappe la cible trois fois, détruisant instantanément tout bouclier anti-dégâts se trouvant sur elle, lui infligeant de lourds dégâts physiques et l'étourdissant pendant 1.5 sec.

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

• E
  Tranche et coupe

  Renekton charge et inflige des dégâts à toutes les unités sur son chemin. S'il a plus de 50 pts de Fureur, Renekton inflige des dégâts supplémentaires et réduit l'armure des unités touchées.

  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 prend sa Forme de tyran et profite de PV supplémentaires ; il inflige également des dégâts à tous les ennemis qui l'entourent. Tant qu'il est en Forme de tyran, Renekton gagne périodiquement de la Fureur.

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.
