Respect
- !Empowered →It's a 1.5s stun that deletes shields. If you're a champion like Camille or Sett, your shield won't save you if his Fury bar is red.
- !Level 3 Power Spike→Once he has , , and , he can dash in, full combo you, and dash out before you can react.
- !Fury Management→A Renekton at 40 Fury is more dangerous than 50, because he can auto once then use an empowered ability instantly to catch you off guard.
- !The Reset→He can use your minions as a ladder. If you're standing near your backline minions, he can through them to reach you from massive range.
Punish
- +is on cooldown→It has an 18-14s cooldown early. If he uses it to farm or misses the reset, he is a sitting duck. All-in him or zone him from the wave.
- +Zero Fury→Renekton's damage is pathetic without Fury. If his bar is empty, force a trade before he can auto-attack the minions to build it up.
- +Level 1 and 2→He is relatively weak until he has all three abilities. Bully him early to prevent him from safely building Fury.
- +Post-combo→Once he uses and , he has nothing left but autos. If you can survive the burst, chase him down as he tries to away.

- •Bone Plating is the best secondary rune against him as it blocks the multi-hits from his .
- •If he activates , just walk away. Don't commit to a fight against the bonus HP and constant Fury generation.
- •Rush Ninja Tabi or Bramble Vest. Cutting his healing makes him much easier to kill.
Teamfight Warning
- ⚠He will look for a 'Flash-Stun' on your carries. Keep your ADC away from his Flash range.
- ⚠In jungle chokepoints, his aura and multi-hit provide massive value. Fight in open areas.
- ⚠If he dashes in with and misses the reset, collapse on him immediately.
- ⚠Peel for your carries after he uses his first dash; he needs the second dash of to actually reach the backline.
