Renekton Tips and Tricks

Renekton is a strong early-game champion. Play aggressively early to leverage his power. If you need health, use your empowered Q to heal back up. If you need damage, use your empowered W. Don’t use your E if your next ability is going to be empowered. In team fights, try to attack from the side to increase your chances of dishing out damage and taking down enemies. Renekton struggles when running directly towards the enemy in a fight, as he’s easy to kite.

Best Renekton Build, Runes, and Items

For Summoner Spells, Flash and Teleport are the best options. Flash gives you mobility, while Teleport allows you to have map presence and join fights or objectives. When it comes to runes, Conqueror should be your keystone for damage in extended trades. Triumph gives you healing on takedowns, while Legend: Alacrity adds attack speed to help with damage output. Last Stand increases your damage when you're low on health. For secondary runes, Bone Plating provides durability, and Unflinching helps you resist crowd control.

For rune shards, take Adaptive Force for both offense and flex to boost damage, and Health Scaling in the defense slot to give you more durability over time.

For items, start with Eclipse as your first item for both damage and survivability. Plated Steelcaps are your second item for extra armor and movement speed, followed by Black Cleaver for armor shredding and bonus stats. After that, Sterak's Gage, Death's Dance, and Spirit Visage are great options to round out your build.

For skill order, focus on maxing Q first for damage, then E for mobility and crowd control, and W last to enhance your sustain and dueling power.

Optional Build

For a different take on Renekton, Flash and Teleport remain the best Summoner Spells. Keep Conqueror as your keystone, along with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand for primary runes. Bone Plating and Unflinching will help with durability in the secondary runes. For your items, start with Black Cleaver for early damage, then go for Plated Steelcaps for armor and mobility. Sterak's Gage provides durability and damage, while Death's Dance and Guardian Angel offer sustain and survivability. Spirit Visage rounds off the build for increased healing and tankiness.

Alternative Build

If you want to try an alternative build, Flash and Teleport work well as your Summoner Spells. Press the Attack can be used as your keystone for more burst damage. Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand still work well in the primary tree. Bone Plating and Unflinching remain useful for the secondary tree. For your items, Eclipse should be your first item, followed by Plated Steelcaps and Black Cleaver. Finish with Sterak's Gage, Spear of Shojin, and Death's Dance for strong late-game scaling and sustain.

Off-Meta Build

If you want to try something off-meta, use Flash and Teleport as your Summoner Spells. Stick with Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand in the primary tree, while Bone Plating and Unflinching are solid picks for secondary runes. Start with Stridebreaker for more mobility and damage, followed by Plated Steelcaps and Black Cleaver. Sterak's Gage, Death's Dance, and Chempunk Chainsword provide additional sustain, durability, and healing reduction for the team.

Situational Runes and Items

Adapt your runes and items depending on your matchup or the overall game state. If you’re facing an enemy with heavy magic damage, consider taking Magic Resist shards. If the enemy team has a lot of healing, items like Thornmail or healing reduction options may be necessary to ensure you’re not overwhelmed. Always consider the specific needs of your team and the threats posed by the enemy when adjusting your build.
