Read from Vel'Koz's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Renata Glasc.
This is Vel'Koz's own plan; across 903 pooled games the lane is leaning Renata Glasc.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vel'Koz | Your Q out-ranges Renata's short-cast abilities at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Vel'Koz | Level-2 Q poke out-trades Renata before she can land E. |
| Level 3 | Vel'Koz | At 3 your range keeps you outside her E-tether root. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vel'Koz | Poke uptime denies Renata engagement through levels 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Vel'Koz | Your spacing forces her to commit E before her R, letting you burst first. |
| First item | Vel'Koz | First-item poke keeps pressure while her single engage stays on cooldown. |
| Two+ items | Renata Glasc | Late, Renata's W-revive and R teamfight flip out-value your poke. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: your Q out-ranges Renata's short-cast W and E, so sit at max range and split-bolt her on every CS approach. Her only lane threat is the E-tether root, which you avoid entirely by keeping distance and staying behind minions. Deny her the root and she has no way to start a trade. Ward flanks so she can't E you from brush. Her tether drags whoever it catches, so keep your carry off the line and cycle the rotation from behind the wave. Split the opener so both halves land, hold the knock-up for the moment the tether is spent, and watch the mana bar rather than her health.
