| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even before Renekton builds Fury. |
| Level 2 | Renekton | Renekton's Fury Q plus W stun wins level 2 trades. |
| Level 3 | Renekton | His sustain and stun keep Renekton ahead at level 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Renekton | Renekton still out-all-ins you through levels 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Your Hemoplague makes six a coinflip, roughly even. |
| First item | Renekton | His first-item and Dominus spike keeps Renekton favoured. |
| Two+ items | Renekton | Your 2+ item scaling and pool disengage flip it to Vladimir. |
Level 1 is roughly even since Renekton has no Fury yet and your Transfusion trades acceptably, but do not overstay. His empowered Ruthless Predator (W) is a multi-hit stun that locks you for a full combo, so hug the line and only step up when his W is on cooldown.
