How to Trade

  • Your best trading pattern is to Q his Q animation to avoid damage and healing, then auto → W → auto for the true damage proc.
  • Only commit to extended trades post-6 when you have R available and he's used his combo.

Wave Control

  • Focus on farming safely and giving up CS if necessary to avoid taking heavy poke damage.
  • Try to freeze the wave near your tower and look for jungle assistance, as Renekton players often push aggressively.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't try to match Renekton's early aggression or fight him when he has empowered abilities ready.
  • Never use Q offensively for poke as it's your only escape tool against his E → W → Q combo.
