Levels 1-4 favor Renata: her Handshake (Q) is a long-range point-and-click root that flings a target, out-threatening your skillshot Hymn of Valor (Q) poke, and Bailout (E) makes her ADC's every trade and dive dangerous. Play respectful spacing, never stand where a Handshake can toss you into her team, and keep Aria (W) up to heal chip. Don't over-commit to poke when her Q is off cooldown.
