Read from Xerath's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Renata Glasc.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Xerath | Level 1 Xerath out-ranges Renata's short-range utility kit. |
| Level 2 | Xerath | Level 2 your Q zones Renata who has no ranged trade. |
| Level 3 | Xerath | Level 3 W slow plus Q keeps Renata poked and passive. |
| Levels 4-5 | Xerath | Levels 4-5 your poke lead holds against her sustain-free kit. |
| Level 6 | Xerath | Level 6 your R burst still beats her in a 2v2 poke war. |
| First item | Xerath | First-item Q damage keeps Renata chipped and unable to trade. |
| Two+ items | Renata Glasc | Two items Renata's revive-tether and R berserk outscale your poke in grouped fights. |
You win levels 1-3 cleanly: Renata has no ranged poke, only a short E Loyalty Program bind and a point-blank W tether, so your Q and W chip her freely while you sidestep or minion-block her orb. Keep her low and she can't enable her ADC. Her tether drags whoever it catches, so keep your carry off the line and fire from beyond her reach. Hold the stun for the moment it is already spent, use the slow-zone to pin her carry in place, and watch the mana bar rather than firing on every cooldown.
