Favour timeline — the windows in Renekton's game plan

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

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillYour fury autos out-trade her at 1 — Winter's Wrath is her only spell, 60 mana on a 9s cooldown, so build fury on the wave and take the short exchanges she cannot repeat.
Level 2RenektonLevel 2 is your best window: E onto Sejuani before she can stack Permafrost, empowered W stun, Q heal back her W tick, then E out before the aura turns the trade.
Level 3RenektonAll three abilities online and a health lead in hand — freeze near your side so Sejuani must overextend into your E-W range rather than running Permafrost stacks into you.
Levels 4-5RenektonArctic Assault (Q) is her only mobility and it is down 18s at rank 1 — force your burst trades inside that window, sustain with Q healing, and deny her farm under the threat of an all-in she cannot charge out of.
Level 6Even / skillDominus stats are big but her R hard-CC is the equalizer — bait the R before committing your full Dominus all-in or the stun just hands the kill back to her.
First itemEven / skillYour Sundered Sky or Stride Breaker spike keeps burst trades in your favour, but Sejuani's Sunfire Aegis means her W percent-HP is scaling and extended fights start to slip away from you.
Two+ itemsSejuaniTwo tank items on Sejuani and her percent-HP W plus Permafrost CC outlast every burst window Renekton has — play for objectives and team followup rather than solo dueling her.

How to beat Sejuani as Renekton: the early game

At level 1 this lane is genuinely neutral — Sejuani's base damage is low but her W percent-HP damage starts immediately and she does not need to be fancy to trade with you. Farm safely and build fury on the wave rather than wasting E on a level-1 skirmish. At level 2 you get the clearest edge in the whole lane: E onto her, empowered W stun before she can auto-stack Permafrost, Q to heal back her W tick damage, then E out. She has no dash and Permafrost needs several hits to proc, so if you commit and leave the moment Q resolves, you win the trade cleanly. By level 3 you should already be ahead on health — use that lead to keep the wave near your side so she has to walk into your engage range.
