Tools to play around

What can go wrong

  • Cull the MeekPractise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
  • Ruthless PredatorUse this control to create a follow-up window. Check the target’s defensive spells and your teammates’ range before committing.
  • A completed combo is only useful when your position, resources and follow-up are safe.

Abilities & tips

Open an ability to read its effect and a practical use tip.

PReign of Anger

Renekton's attacks generate Fury, increased when he is low on life. This Fury can empower his abilities with bonus effects.

Use it well

Read the effect and its conditions, then practise it alone. Build your sequence around the effect you can reliably reproduce.

QCull the Meek

Renekton swings his blade, dealing moderate physical damage to all targets around him, and heals for a small portion of the damage dealt. If he has more than 50 Fury, his damage and heal are increased.

Use it well

Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.

WRuthless Predator

Renekton slashes his target twice, dealing moderate physical damage and stuns them for 0.75 seconds. If Renekton has more than 50 Fury, he slashes his target three times, destroying damage shields on the target, dealing high physical damage, and stunning them for 1.5 seconds.

Use it well

Use this control to create a follow-up window. Check the target’s defensive spells and your teammates’ range before committing.

ESlice and Dice

Renekton dashes, dealing damage to units along the way. Empowered, Renekton deals bonus damage and reduces the Armor of units hit.

Use it well

Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.

RDominus

Renekton transforms into the Tyrant form, gaining bonus Health and dealing damage to enemies around him. While in this form, Renekton gains Fury periodically.

Use it well

Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.

Renekton combos: execution and timing

AA = basic attack · EAA = empowered attack · 1/2/3 = cast stage. Follow the order, not instant key presses.

Spell and attack trade: Ruthless Predator

  1. AA
  2. Ruthless PredatorW
  3. AA

With Renekton, start with Basic attack, then continue through Ruthless Predator → Basic attack. Read the resource or charge indicator for Reign of Anger before starting. Compare this sequence with and without the required preparation.

Mistake to avoid : Do not assume the same damage, control or follow-up when the required indicator is missing.

Recast practice: Slice and Dice

  1. Slice and DiceE
  2. AA
  3. Cull the MeekQ
  4. Slice and DiceE

With Renekton, start with Slice and Dice, then continue through Basic attack → Cull the Meek → Slice and Dice. Read the resource or charge indicator for Reign of Anger before starting. Compare this sequence with and without the required preparation.

Mistake to avoid : Do not assume the same damage, control or follow-up when the required indicator is missing.

Repeated spells may need a recast window or a cooldown; check that the next activation is actually available.

Game plan by role

Renekton · Top
Early game

Keep trades short until you understand the opponent’s main cooldown. Check the minion wave before chasing and preserve a route back to your tower.

Mid game

Decide between a side-lane push and joining the next objective. Push only as far as your vision and teammate positions allow.

Teamfights

Agree on your job before the fight: pressure a side, threaten a target or protect a carry. Save a key defensive tool when the enemy can turn on you.

Before your next fight, check: Cull the Meek · Dominus · Combos

06

Matchup preparation

Compare opponents in the build for the role you are actually playing. Then check their key control, escape and defensive spells before choosing your trade.

07

Practice checklist

  1. Cast each ability alone and identify its range, target conditions and stopping point.
  2. Practise the first sequence slowly. Repeat it while moving, without skipping the conditions shown on its card.
  3. After each attempt, identify the spell you would still have available to defend or retreat.
