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 Yasuo

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Pop his shield first

    Hit him with a cheap attack to trigger the Way of the Wanderer (passive) shield, then start the real trade: otherwise, it absorbs your best damage.

  2. Wait for his Wind Wall

    If you have projectiles, save them for after Wind Wall (W): it blocks them all for 4 seconds, on a 25 to 17 second cooldown. Other spells go through it.

  3. Don't give him minions

    Don't stand right behind your minions: each one gives him a target for Sweeping Blade (E), and he gets closer to you with every dash.

  4. Dodge his whirlwind

    Get out of the line of his whirlwind, the third Steel Tempest (Q): without a knock-up, he can't cast Last Breath (R).

  5. Judge him by his crit items

    Judge his threat by his crit items more than his level: Way of the Wanderer (passive) raises his critical strike chance, so each crit item does more for him.
