Renekton owns levels 1-5. Ruthless Predator (W) stuns 1.5s at 50+ Fury and Cull the Meek (Q) heals him back, so every short trade is his — Infected Bonesaw costs you health he refunds himself. Soak XP, cheese-recall, give ground rather than eat Slice and Dice into empowered W. Respect the all-in while he holds both dash charges.
