Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to Renekton's superior mobility and burst damage, especially when he has fury built up.
- Post-6 you become much stronger in extended fights with R providing sustained damage and split push pressure that Renekton cannot match.
How to Trade
- You want to land W to trap Renekton, then E-Q with ghouls for maximum damage while he cannot escape.
- Focus on short trades with Q poke when ghouls are up, and only commit to all-ins when you have W available to prevent his escape.
Wave Control
- You should focus on farming safely early and look to freeze the wave near your tower to force Renekton to overextend for trades.
- Once you have R, you can start slow pushing and using your superior wave clear to create split push pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to take extended trades without ghouls up as Renekton's base damage will outdamage you significantly.
- Never waste W on minions when Renekton is in range to trade as this removes your only tool to prevent his hit-and-run combos.
