Playing as Renekton

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Get ahead in lane

    Play aggressively in lane and look for an early lead: Renekton is strongest before everyone has their items.

Playing against Jax

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take a short trade, then back off: Relentless Assault (passive) increases his attack speed with each consecutive auto.

  2. Back off during Counter Strike

    During Counter Strike (E), back off instead of attacking: he dodges your autos, then stuns nearby enemies, dealing more damage per dodged auto.

  3. Trade after his E

    Trade right after Counter Strike (E): it's both his defense and his only stun, and it has a 17 to 9 second cooldown.

  4. Don't let him split push alone

    In the late game, don't leave his split push unanswered: send someone to hold his lane, or force an objective on the other side of the map.
