Read from Yorick's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Renekton.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Renekton | Renekton's Q sustain and dash burst crush your no-ghoul early, giving him the lane. |
| Level 2 | Renekton | His dash-slice-dash combo out-trades you before ghouls form, so he bullies freely. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Even windows appear only when his fury is empty and your ghouls are stacked. |
| Levels 4-5 | Renekton | Levels 4-5 stay his: Slice and Dice is back every 13s at rank 3. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Ghoul-swarm setups roughly balance the mid-game when he lacks dash cooldowns. |
| First item | Renekton | Renekton's item and mobility let him ignore your cage on his terms. |
| Two+ items | Renekton | Two-plus items are yours: split away and Maiden takes towers he must answer. |
Renekton is a lane bully who out-sustains and out-bursts you before ghouls, using Q healing and dash combos to win every early trade. Respect his fury windows, farm safely with Q, and never fight at low ghoul count. He wins the opening phase decisively.
