| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Renekton | Renekton's level-1 W stun and Cull-the-Meek clear let him shove and poke before you have Judgment. |
| Level 2 | Renekton | At level 2 his empowered abilities out-trade your bare Q-silence. |
| Level 3 | Renekton | Level 3-5 is Renekton's hard spike: full-fury double-empowered burst beats you without E ranks. |
| Levels 4-5 | Garen | At 6 your R Demacian Justice executes him off missing HP and he cannot heal into it. |
| Level 6 | Garen | With Perseverance regen and your level-6 power you out-sustain his fury-dependent damage. |
| First item | Garen | Your first item plus Judgment shred wins the attrition war his kit cannot sustain. |
| Two+ items | Garen | Into two-plus items Renekton falls off while you scale as an executing bruiser. |
Renekton bullies levels 1-2 with point-and-click W stun and Cull-the-Meek clear, so hold Q for disengage and soak minions rather than contesting trades before you own E.
