Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to lower base stats and lack of escape tools against Renekton's gap closers.
- Post-6 you gain some safety with R, but true power spike comes at level 11 with permanent range advantage.
How to Trade
- Focus on short poke trades with Q-auto when Renekton approaches, then immediately back off to avoid his E-W combo.
- Use W movement speed to create distance after trading rather than trying to extend fights.
Wave Control
- Accept CS deficits early and focus on safe farming under tower, using Q to last-hit minions from range when possible.
- Avoid pushing waves as it makes you vulnerable to Renekton's all-ins and jungle ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match Renekton's aggression in early levels as your damage output and survivability are significantly lower.
- Avoid using R defensively too early in fights, as the invulnerability window is brief and you need the damage amp to be relevant.
