Read from Renekton's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Cassiopeia.
This is Renekton's own plan; across 902 pooled games the lane is leaning Renekton.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Renekton | You have the level 1 edge — no Miasma means your Q tip poke and Fury autos go unanswered, but do not burn E without a confirmed stun angle. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | She hits level 2 with Noxious Blast and Twin Fang but still lacks Miasma — your E-W stun window and her Q poke roughly cancel out. |
| Level 3 | Cassiopeia | Miasma (W) comes online and grounds your return E-dash, stripping your escape and turning every all-in into a one-way trip she controls. |
| Levels 4-5 | Cassiopeia | She layers Q poison into a 0.75s Twin Fang faster than your 7s Cull the Meek refunds it, and Miasma keeps you inside her zone on every engage. |
| Level 6 | Cassiopeia | Her R face-stun can interrupt your Dominus combo; approach from the side or wait for her R cooldown before committing to any all-in. |
| First item | Cassiopeia | Her Luden's or Malignance spike accelerates Twin Fang damage beyond what Sundered Sky sustain can offset in an extended trade. |
| Two+ items | Cassiopeia | Full AP Cassiopeia kites you indefinitely and one-shots in a burst — rotate for objectives rather than fighting her solo at this stage. |
At level 1 you actually win the exchange — she has no Miasma yet and her Q poke requires her to walk up. Use Q tip to last-hit and chip her back, but do not burn E to chase; you want that dash for the level 2 spike. The moment you hit level 2, E into her, immediately drop empowered W before she can cast Miasma, then Q-heal and E back out. That is the entire lane: your one clean combo before Miasma comes online. At level 3 she has all three abilities and Miasma starts shutting down your return dash — respect it and only go in if you see it on cooldown.
