How to win lane as Malphite against Renekton · 53.47% win rate over 1,382 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Renekton | Renekton's point-click autos plus W stun bully you at Level 1 — you have no trade pattern, so farm and eat minimal poke. |
| Level 2 | Renekton | His fury-empowered W combo hits hardest here while you still lack W armor and E — do not contest, just refresh Granite Shield. |
| Level 3 | Renekton | Level 3 is peak Renekton: full Dice combo with W stun owns you outright, so hug the wave and deny the all-in. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | W (Thunderclap) armor and E (Ground Slam) attack-speed slow come online — you stabilize and farm through his trades, but he can still edge a clean W combo. |
| Level 6 | Malphite | Unstoppable Force gives you the all-in answer you lacked — R-knock-up punishes his overextension once his W is down. |
| First item | Malphite | Your armor-scaling W/E plus a first armor item out-trade his point-click AD — his fall-off has begun and your peak arrives. |
| Two+ items | Malphite | Renekton has no scaling and you become a near-unkillable armor frontline — your E and W out-damage him and R wins every fight. |
Renekton owns these levels outright and you have to accept it — he is a point-click fury bully with a W stun and empowered Dice combo, and you have zero trade pattern before W and E come online. Do not try to contest autos; last-hit at the tip of your Q (Seismic Shard) range and let Granite Shield soak his harass between waves. If he dashes in with W to stun you, just walk it off and refresh your shield — his fury burns out fast and he can't sustain his own aggression once you deny the all-in.
