Favour timeline — the windows in Renekton's game plan

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

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1RenektonAt level 1 melee range is yours with Fury autos — Adaptive Defenses only shields one damage type at a time, so burst her and step off rather than grinding.
Level 2RenektonE-in the moment her Hookshot misses or lands on nothing: empowered W-stun hits for two extra autos and 1.5 seconds of lockdown that she has no answer for at level 2.
Level 3RenektonTactical Sweep heals her on the outer half and Hookshot knocks you up off any wall — the burst-trade math tips to her from 3 through 5.
Levels 4-5Even / skillWith Hookshot on a 16-second cooldown at rank 1 and her W up every trade, she dictates exchange timing — only commit when you see the hook land on nothing.
Level 6Even / skillDominus HP buffer lets you absorb her Q true-damage proc, but her Hextech Ultimatum isolates the duel and strips your minion Fury generation — the all-in is roughly even; only press it if she ults defensively or fumbles the engage.
First itemRenektonSundered Sky completes before Trinity Force — your burst and sustain spike outpaces her durability for one clean kill window before she matches your item power.
Two+ itemsRenektonTrinity Force true-damage Q auto-reset and Sterak's durability let her outlast your empowered-W burst and finish the duel with W cone healing; stop 1v1ing her and use Dominus as a teamfight anchor.

How to beat Camille as Renekton: the early game

At level 1 Camille's passive Adaptive Defenses gives her a free shield against your auto-heavy pressure, so hold back and last-hit with Q tip rather than trading into a free shield. Hit level 2 first by pushing the three melee minions — the moment you have E online walk up, watch her Hookshot animation, and if she doesn't fire it, slice in and land the empowered W two-hit stun immediately; she has no answer for a point-and-click 1.5-second stun at level 2. Dice out with the second E dash and Q-heal on the way out. At level 3 her W true-damage cone comes online, which means every extended trade now costs you real HP even through your Q heal — take the short burst trade (E in, W, Q, E out) and avoid letting her walk you into her W cone at the end of the exchange.
