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 Kennen

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his shurikens

    Dodge Thundering Shuriken (Q): each spell that hits you applies Mark of the Storm (passive), and on the third, you're stunned.

  2. Back off when he rushes in

    Back off as soon as he rushes at you with Lightning Rush (E): it's his engage, often followed by Slicing Maelstrom (R).

  3. Spread out from your allies

    When he has Slicing Maelstrom (R), spread out from your allies: the storm hits every enemy around him, and its repeated hits end up stunning.

  4. Fight back after his storm

    Wait for Slicing Maelstrom (R) to end before you fight back: during the storm, he gains armor and magic resist, then the spell has a 120-second cooldown.
