Playing as K'Sante
Tips to maximize your impact
- Stack your Q on minions
Stack Ntofo Strikes (Q) on minions: after 2 hits, the next cast becomes a shockwave that stuns and pulls, so save it for the champion.
- Charge your W through CC
Charge Path Maker (W) when they throw CC at you: while charging, you're Unstoppable and take less damage, then your dash knocks back and stuns.
- Join an ally with your E
Cast Footwork (E) toward an ally to protect them or escape: the dash goes much farther, and you both gain a shield.
- Send your target through a wall
Knock your target into a wall with All Out (R): they go through it, you follow, and you hit harder at the cost of some of your health and resistances.
Playing against Renekton
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade when he's under 50 Fury
Take a trade when his Fury is under 50: above that, Ruthless Predator (W) destroys your shields and stuns you twice as long.
- Trade after his dashes
Take a trade once he has used both Slice and Dice (E) dashes: it's his only way to reach you or get out, on a 16 to 10 second cooldown.
- Back off when he casts Dominus
Once he hits level 6, back off when he casts Dominus (R): he gains max health, builds Fury every second, and damages enemies around him.
- Drag the game out
If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Renekton looks to get ahead in lane, before everyone has their items.
