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 Poppy

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from walls

    Stay away from walls against her: Heroic Charge (E) stuns you if she slams you into an obstacle.

  2. Step on her buckler

    Step on the Iron Ambassador (passive) buckler when it lands: she can no longer pick it up, so she doesn't get her shield.

  3. No dashes during Steadfast Presence

    If you have a dash, don't use it near her during Steadfast Presence (W): the field stops it, and you're slowed and grounded.

  4. Interrupt her Verdict charge

    If you have CC, use it when she spins her hammer for Keeper's Verdict (R): the longer she charges, the farther she sends her target.
