Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-2 are yours: Renata is a squishy enchanter with no early damage, so your Q Death's Hand out-pokes her and hitting E Nevermove at 2 lets you root-Q while your ADC steps up. She wants to zone you with E Loyal Frenzy, so if she throws it to poke, E her back and win the trade.
