How to play
Build Fury before trading Attacks build Fury. When the bar is high enough, use your empowered 2nd ability for a longer stun or your empowered 1st ability for more healing.
Keep a dash to leave the trade Hit an enemy or minion with your 3rd ability to unlock a second dash. Keep that second cast to leave after dealing your damage.
Use your ultimate before you get too low Turn it on when committing to a fight so the extra health and Fury have time to help.

Strengths
- One of the strongest early laners in the game, with empowered abilities that bully nearly every melee matchup.
- A directional first dash, conditional second dash, and reliable empowered-attack stun give him strong control over trades when the wave supplies a target to hit.
- Great sustain and dive potential: his heal and ultimate's bonus health let him fight long and finish kills under tower.
Weaknesses
- Falls off hard: his advantage fades as the game goes on, and scaled enemies stop being afraid.
- Easily kited, since with both dashes spent he has no way in and no way out.
- Fury-dependent: with an empty bar he is a much weaker champion, so wasted trades cost double.
Renekton Baron Lane Wild Rift best build, items, runes, summoner spells, and skill order
ITEM BUILD
Best Wild Rift build for Renekton Baron Lane, including items, runes, summoner spells, and skill order.
STARTING ITEM

Simple early attack damage, since his whole plan is winning the first few levels outright.
BOOTS

The omnivamp adds to the healing his Q (1st) already gives him, keeping him in a lane he wins by never leaving.
CORE BUILD

Percent current health damage, which keeps him relevant past the early game where a Renekton lead usually decays.

Ultimate haste. His ultimate is his power spike and his survivability at once, so more of them is more windows where he is unbeatable.

Health, attack damage and move speed, with every fourth attack landing heavy on a champion or a structure. Ruthless Predator (2nd) strikes twice, and three times once Fury empowers it, so his attack count climbs faster than most and that heavy fourth hit keeps coming around. The armor and magic resist go to his nearby siege and super minions, so the side wave keeps rolling into a duel his stun and sustain already make hard to lose.

Build this against armor stackers or enemies who out-sustain a Renekton whose burst window has passed.

Revives him once after dying. His ultimate commits him into the middle of their team.
SITUATIONAL ITEMS

His empowered attack can consume Spellblade and the movement speed helps him stick after Slice and Dice (3rd). Spellblade has its own cooldown, so a rapid full combo does not proc it after every cast.

Build this when Slice and Dice (3rd) keeps leaving you just short of the target. The dash covers the last stretch his own gap closer cannot, and the bolts fire at whoever is lowest where he lands.

Dominus (Ult) adds health before he dives, which feeds the bonus-health scaling, and Lifeline fires if incoming damage drops him below its health threshold, buying the seconds his Q (1st) needs to heal back.

His ultimate is a fixed cast, and this turns the moment he commits into a heal for everyone fighting alongside him.

Clears the wave and gives magic durability, so he can hold a lane and still arrive at a fight able to take a rotation.

Build this when crowd control interrupts Renekton between Slice and Dice (3rd) or before his empowered stun. The cleanse preserves the Fury-loaded combo he committed to.

Replace Mortal Reminder when enemy Armor matters more than healing and Renekton's team can follow his Armor reduction. Keep anti-heal elsewhere if it is still needed. Health and haste support longer fights, while repeated physical damage reduces Armor for your whole team.

Replace Hullbreaker when Renekton must group and survive return damage after committing his empowered stun. Armor and delayed physical and magic damage buy time; a champion you recently damaged must die to clear the stored damage and trigger its heal.

Replace Hullbreaker when Renekton is rotating through several enemies in teamfights instead of pressuring the side lane. The first attack against each champion delivers an empowered hit and a heal, with a separate cooldown per target.

Replace Guardian Angel when magic burst kills Renekton before he can heal through a second rotation. Magic Resistance and a magic-damage Lifeline shield preserve offensive pressure against AP burst. Choose this or Sterak's Gage for your Lifeline slot.

Replace Guardian Angel when repeated magic damage wears Renekton down during his ultimate. Repeated champion magic damage stacks extra Magic Resistance and movement speed, making it a sustained-magic-damage answer.

Replace Guardian Angel when crit carries punish Renekton after his stun expires. Reduces physical critical-strike damage, so prioritize it against fed crit carries rather than purely on-hit damage.
RUNES
KEYSTONE

His empowered Q (1st) keeps him hitting through a long trade, so he stacks fast and the healing adds to his own.
PRIMARY

His early lane dominance only matters if the tower follows, and his dash makes reaching it easy. Three attacks trigger the bonus turret damage.

His fury only builds in melee, and this keeps him healthy through the poke he takes getting there.

He has to stay in melee to spend fury, and the health is what keeps him there.
SECONDARY

Bonus damage on every autoattack, which sharpens exactly the levels where Renekton is supposed to win outright.
SITUATIONAL RUNES

Take this over Second Wind against an all-in lane. The reduced opening hits preserve Renekton's health while he builds Fury for an empowered stun or heal.

Take this over Overgrowth when crowd control is a bigger threat than long-term health. Its tenacity shortens most disables and grants temporary defenses while immobilized. The shorter disable preserves Renekton's Fury-loaded dash and stun window before the resource or target position changes.

Take this over Conqueror when the lane is short walk-up trades rather than the extended fights his Fury wants.

Take this over Brutal when his dash is opening fights, since the bonus true damage is ready the moment he arrives.

Take this over Brutal against durable melee opponents when the plan is repeated trades. Shorter Cull the Meek (1st) and Slice and Dice (3rd) cooldowns help Renekton sustain, reposition, and prepare another Fury-powered rotation.
SUMMONER SPELLS
MAIN SPELLS

Flash
Must take. Slice (3rd) is a free directional dash, but Dice (3rd) becomes available only if the first cast hits an enemy. Flash gives Renekton unconditional terrain crossing when that second cast was never unlocked or both casts are spent.

Ignite
Take this for early kill pressure in the solo lane, since one kill is usually enough to start snowballing it. The Grievous Wounds also makes it strong into champions with a lot of healing.
SITUATIONAL SPELLS

Teleport
Take this over Ignite when you are not winning the lane. He falls off later, so keeping farm and tempo is the next best thing to a kill.

Renekton Baron Lane Wild Rift matchups and counters
Wild Rift matchup guide for Renekton Baron Lane, covering favorable lanes and difficult counters to prepare for in ranked.
Good Matchups
These champions are favorable matchups for this pick in Wild Rift. You have advantages against them and can play more aggressively.

Camille
Camille's Adaptive Defenses (Passive) absorbs matching damage, but an empowered Ruthless Predator (2nd) dispels damage shields on its first strike before the rest of the three-hit attack lands. Hold 50 Fury for that interaction and avoid trading beside terrain that gives Hookshot (3rd) its stun.

Fiora
Riposte (2nd) can block Ruthless Predator (2nd) entirely and stuns Renekton if it parries the immobilize, so vary the stun timing instead of treating it as guaranteed. Fiora's vital true damage also punishes health stacking, making the early Fury advantage important but not automatic.

Sett
Empowered Ruthless Predator (2nd) destroys Sett's Haymaker (2nd) shield if it is already active, but the center punch still deals true damage and cannot be erased by armor. Use a short Slice (3rd)-stun-Q (1st)-Dice (3rd) trade before he stores large Grit rather than assuming the stun always cancels a committed Haymaker (2nd) cast.

Riven
Riven already has multiple dashes, a stun, a knockup, and a shield in the early lane; she does not need two items to function. Renekton's advantage is a reliable Fury-loaded stun and sustain, but track her Valor (3rd) shield and avoid wasting the empowered attack on a retreating dash.
Renekton Counters
These champions counter this pick in Wild Rift and can be difficult matchups. Learn how to play against them or consider banning them.

Garen
Garen's regen erases your chip damage and his silence cuts your combo mid-pattern, so the lazy trades that beat most laners just feed his passive.

Wukong
The clone baits your fury combo: once your empowered stun hits a decoy, the real Wukong punishes you with everything down, and he only takes the fights he wants.

Malphite
Malphite's armor reduces most of Renekton's physical rotation, but empowered Ruthless Predator (2nd) dispels Granite Shield (Passive) before its strikes finish. Break or dispel the shield, avoid letting Ground Slam's (3rd) attack-speed cripple drag out the trade, and leave before the armor advantage takes over.

Poppy
Steadfast Presence (2nd) stops Slice and Dice (3rd) and grounds Renekton after the interruption, so do not dash while its field is active. Poppy's buckler shield is not safe from Fury: empowered Ruthless Predator (2nd) dispels damage shields on the first strike if Renekton reaches her.
