Bite his AD — survive his empowered W, then out-duel him.
Track: Renekton's W — Ruthless Predator (16–8s cooldown). Empowered = long stun. Bait it.
Read from Trundle's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Renekton.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is a coin flip of autos — Chomp's AD sap answers his base damage, but Cull the Meek (7s) heals it back, so bite on his step-up and hold position. |
| Level 2 | Renekton | Ruthless Predator arrives at 16s on rank 1, and at 50 Fury it stuns 1.5s rather than 0.75s — that is the whole trade. Hold Frozen Domain for after his dash. |
| Level 3 | Renekton | His level-3 rotation outruns your healing if it lands clean; Slice and Dice (16s at rank 1) is both his entry and his exit, so Pillar of Ice behind him buys the longer fight. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Renekton bleeds fury between trades and your Chomp ranks up — neither side has a decisive edge, but do not trade with Q on cooldown or he wins the short burst window. |
| Level 6 | Renekton | Dominus (120s at rank 1) hands him bonus max Health for a sustained all-in — and Subjugate steals a percent of Health, so cast yours into his and take that inflation off him. |
| First item | Even / skill | Trinity Force Spellblade fires off every Chomp cast — your duel output rises sharply, and Renekton's item scaling trails yours; force extended trades in Frozen Domain now. |
| Two+ items | Trundle | Renekton has no late scaling; lock him in Frozen Domain with Pillar of Ice, stack Chomp's AD sap across the fight, and Subjugate the armour and Dominus health he has built. |
Renekton owns levels 2 and 3 — Slice and Dice (16s at rank 1) into a 50-Fury Ruthless Predator stuns you for 1.5 seconds instead of 0.75, and that gap is the whole trade. At level 1 you can trade evenly: Chomp his first last-hit attempt to front-load the AD sap, then back off before he stacks Fury. Cull the Meek is a flat 7-second heal that hits the whole wave, so chip damage alone never gets him low — buy Grievous Wounds before you plan an all-in. Keep the wave slightly on your side of mid-lane so his dash has to start in the open rather than out of the river brush, and hold Pillar of Ice for the exit, not the entry.
