Favour timeline — the windows in Lillia's game plan

Read from Lillia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Renekton.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1RenektonHe owns level 1 outright — his W stun into a fury-empowered Q outdamages your single Blooming Blows, so concede CS and stay out of W range.
Level 2Even / skillBy level 2 you have a second Q and can start kiting, but a clean W stun still lets his combo win the trade — it's a coin-flip on whether he catches you.
Level 3LilliaWith E Swirlseed and stacked Dream Dust you out-kite his dash; his Q closes distance but your move-speed stacks keep you out of W range while the DoT ticks.
Levels 4-5LilliaFull-rank Blooming Blows is your peak — the sweetspot move speed makes you uncatchable and the compounding burn punishes every step he takes toward you.
Level 6LilliaLilting Lullaby lets you sleep him out of his all-in or set up your jungler, and the wake-up hit lands big after Dream Dust is already on him.
First itemLilliaLiandry's/Riftmaker turns your W and DoT into real percent-HP damage, and Renekton has zero sustain to survive a kite war he can't end.
Two+ itemsLilliaHe has no sustained threat once his early is over — you out-scale, out-kite, and out-burn him, so press every skirmish and roam off the lead.

How to beat Renekton as Lillia: the early game

Renekton genuinely beats you the first two levels — his W is a point-and-click stun and a fury-empowered Q heals him while it chunks you, and at level 1 you only have Blooming Blows so you cannot trade back. Do not walk into W range to throw a sweetspot. Farm with the outer edge of Q from max distance and just take the CS hit. The moment you get E Swirlseed and a second Q rank you start layering the Dream Dust burn, and that's when his free kill window closes.
