Read from K'Sante's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Renekton.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You have only Q and no engage at level 1 while Renekton is a point-click bully — concede the level and farm from max Q range. |
| Level 2 | Renekton | He spikes hard at 2 with W stun into a fury-empowered Q combo; you don't get a real trading tool until 3, so don't contest CS in melee. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Your full kit arrives — Path Maker's charge cuts his burst, then a second Q stack pulls him in and neutralises his dominance. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | You trade around his fury bar: bait the 16s W stun, step in after it, pull with Q, and your bulk wins the exchange. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | All Out beats a Renekton whose fury is spent — but it strips resists, so commit only once his empowered W is gone. |
| First item | Renekton | Your first tank-engage item makes you durable and disruptive while his point-click damage is starting to fall off — slight edge to you. |
| Two+ items | Renekton | Renekton has no sustained threat and falls off hard into items, while your armor stacking and R peel reclaim the matchup outright. |
Renekton owns the first two levels outright — he has a point-click W stun and a fury-empowered Q while you have only Ntofo Strikes and no engage at level 1, so don't walk into melee range to last-hit or he'll stun you and dump the combo. Soak XP from the tip of Q and give up a little CS. From level 3 your full combo flips it: charge Path Maker to cut the damage of his all-in, stun him back, and pull with your second Q stack. His W is 16s at rank 1 — that gap is your trade.
