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 Yorick

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his Mourning Mist

    Dodge Mourning Mist (E): once marked, you lose armor, his nearby graves keep raising Mist Walkers, and his units rush toward you.

  2. Kill his Mist Walkers first

    Kill his Mist Walkers, summoned by Shepherd of Souls (passive), before going for him: a single auto or single-target spell is enough for each.

  3. Break his wall

    If Dark Procession (W) traps you, hit the wall to break it instead of waiting for it to disappear.

  4. Kill the Maiden first

    If you can, take down the Maiden of the Mist before Yorick: summoned by Eulogy of the Isles (R), she carries a large part of his damage and push.

  5. Answer his split push

    Don't let him split push alone: with the Eulogy of the Isles (R) Maiden and his Mist Walkers, he quickly threatens a tower. Send someone to answer him.
