How to win lane as Gwen against Renekton · 47.14% win rate over 524 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Renekton | Renekton's full-fury W stun into Slice and Dice bullies a level-1 Gwen who has no Hallowed Mist and no Skip 'n Slash mobility yet. |
| Level 2 | Renekton | He out-stats me hard levels 1-2 and Cull the Meek heals back any chip I land while my Snip Snip! cone is still clunky to land. |
| Level 3 | Renekton | Even with Q-poke and an E reset, his point-click W stun and fury combo own the level-3 trade before I can drop mist. |
| Levels 4-5 | Renekton | Levels 4-5 are my worst relative window — still a melee with no untargetability against his fury-empowered all-in. |
| Level 6 | Gwen | Needlework plus Hallowed Mist online lets me bait his W all-in into mist so the empowered follow-up whiffs while I'm untargetable, then R-slow and snip him down. |
| First item | Gwen | Riftmaker into Nashor's flips the extended duel — %-max-HP Snip Snip! and ability healing beat his item-starved fury window. |
| Two+ items | Gwen | Renekton falls off a cliff into items while my %-HP Snip Snip! and Thousand Cuts shred him — the lane is mine unless his team out-scales me. |
Levels 1-3 are his lane, not mine — Renekton point-and-clicks me with his empowered W stun off a full fury bar, follows with Slice and Dice, and heals the trade back with Cull the Meek, and I have no Hallowed Mist yet to make any of it whiff. I do NOT contest the fury-empowered all-in; I last-hit at the tip of Snip Snip! and soak a little chip, knowing my Thousand Cuts %-HP and ability healing scale while his early dominance is a clock that's already ticking. Respect the double dash when he Slice-and-Dices in, and never get shoved to tower where he can use his fury combo to deny me CS for free.
