// HOW TO PLAY · RENEKTON

Early Game

Renekton early lane is short-trade pressure. Start Doran's Shield + 2 pots. Conqueror keystone stacks during sustained trades — auto-Q-auto windows.

Freeze near tower if matched into ranged or skirmisher. Look for level 2 spike — second ability unlocks full damage rotation. Track jungler; juggernauts have weak escape tools.

Mid Game

Goredrinker + Plated Steelcaps is the standard spike. Side lane pressure = your win condition. TP roam to bot lane for double-kill window, or shove top + flank dragon fight.

Black Cleaver 2nd item shreds armor for team. Death's Dance 3rd item makes you a 1v2 threat in sidelane. Build Spirit Visage vs heavy AP comp.

Late Game

Sidelane bully. Renekton forces 1v2-1v3 attention while team takes objectives. In teamfights, walk through frontline to ADC — your sustain absorbs poke.

Sterak's Gage as 4th item = shield + tenacity vs CC chain. Avoid getting kited — Mercury's Treads + Sterak's tenacity. Death's Dance heals 15% of damage dealt.

Win Condition

Win lane → snowball sidelane → split push or flank fight. Renekton doesn't outscale ADCs — close the game by 25min.

Win: 2+ solo kills + tower diff + sidelane priority. Lose to: ranged kiters (Vayne, Kayle) — need Phage + Sterak's earlier.

Power Spikes

Level 2 — second ability + full combo rotation. Level 6 — R for execute kills. Goredrinker (1st item) — sustain + AoE damage. Black Cleaver (2nd item) — armor shred for team teamfights. Level 11 — R rank 2 + 2 items. Death's Dance (3rd item) — death recovery in 1v2 sidelane.

Tips & Combos

Combos:

  • Conqueror stacks during sustained trades — long-AA, not short-burst
  • Pre-Q before flash gap-close = guaranteed proc
  • Use R as execute, not as engage tool

Anti-tips:

  • Don't trade with full mana cost — manage mana for actual fights
  • Don't ult full-HP target — wait for execute threshold
  • Don't 1v3 without Sterak's Gage — passive damage outpaces sustain

Pro tricks:

  • TP to sidelane fights — your damage profile shreds backline
  • Stand on top side of map in mid game — punish enemy mid roams
  • Goredrinker active heals 25-90% of missing HP — bait flash with it
