Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 due to Renekton's superior base stats, sustain from Q, and stronger early trades with W stun into Q.
- You win at level 6 because your R gives you execute damage and animation canceling potential that outscales his basic combo.
How to Trade
- You need to use short Q-AA-Q combos to proc your passive then disengage with E before he can retaliate with his full rotation.
- Extended trades favor him due to his sustain and higher base damage, so focus on quick burst patterns.
Wave Control
- You should freeze the wave near your tower early to avoid his all-ins and farm safely until level 6.
- After 6, you can look to slow push and crash waves to create roam timers or force trades when the wave bounces back.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must avoid using E aggressively without having Q charges ready to escape, as getting caught in his W stun without mobility leads to losing trades.
- Don't try to match his sustain with extended farming - his Q healing will always outpace your damage in prolonged exchanges.
