Playing as Renekton
Tips to maximize your impact
- Ruthless Predator at 50 Fury
Save 50 Fury for Ruthless Predator (W): empowered, it strikes three times, destroys shields and stuns for 1.5 seconds instead of 0.75.
- In and out with Slice and Dice
Take your trades with Slice and Dice (E): one dash to go in, your combo, then the recast to get out, available if the first dash hit.
- Dominus at the start of your all-in
Cast Dominus (R) at the start of your all-in: you gain max health and Fury, and damage nearby enemies every second.
- Get ahead in lane
Play aggressively in lane and look for an early lead: Renekton is strongest before everyone has their items.
Playing against Ekko
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Avoid his third hit
Take short trades: his third hit on you, auto or spell, triggers Z-Drive Resonance (passive), with bonus damage and a burst of speed.
- Leave his Q field
When Timewinder (Q) expands on you, leave the field: it slows you, and the device hits you again on its way back to him.
- Get out of his sphere
Leave the Parallel Convergence (W) sphere as soon as it appears: if he steps into it, it stuns every enemy inside.
- Aim where he'll reappear
When he's low, don't chase him blindly: Chronobreak (R) brings him back to where he was 4 seconds earlier and damages nearby enemies. Ready your spells on that spot.
