How to win lane as Renekton against K'Sante · 54.64% win rate over 2,659 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Renekton | K'Sante has no meaningful level-1 threat beyond basic Q1 poke — play short trades and deny CS without wasting E so you save it for the level 2 spike. |
| Level 2 | Renekton | E-in before K'Sante can place his W, land empowered W stun, Q-heal — he has no stun break or escape at level 2 and eats the full pattern. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Both kits are fully online and the lane is genuinely contested — he can now chain Q knockup to interrupt your engage if you walk in without a Fury bank. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | His Q knockup can interrupt your E-W mid-animation; Fury-stock between trades and E at an angle to land the stun before he completes the Q chain. |
| Level 6 | K'Sante | K'Sante's R All Out strips resists and dashes you into a wall for an isolated duel his percent-HP passive now wins — respect All Out and stop solo all-ins. |
| First item | Even / skill | Sundered Sky still gives you a short power window but his tank item passive damage keeps climbing; force fast trades and take objectives rather than committing to extended duels. |
| Two+ items | K'Sante | K'Sante's percent-HP scaling and All Out duel threat fully outpace your pattern — play for team objectives and avoid the isolated 1v1 he was built to win. |
Play level 1 short and patient — K'Sante's Q1 poke is awkward to confirm on a moving target, so auto-trade and deny CS without burning E yet. At level 2 you get your spike: E through him, immediately cash empowered W before his W animation can block the stun, then Q for the triple heal — this two-hit burst is your bread and butter for the next three levels. He cannot answer a clean E-W-Q all-in at levels 2 or 3; every trade should start with E so you threaten the dash-through and force him to either burn W preemptively or eat the full stun.
