Hwei vs Renekton

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Hwei should use his long-range poke and versatile (E) spellbook CC to control the mid lane and deny Renekton early pressure.
This matchup is a control versus snowball lane where Hwei must avoid giving Renekton early all-in windows and scale into mid-game utility.

Trading pattern

Trade only when Renekton's fury is low and he has used one or both (E) dashes, limiting his escape and engage.
Use (E) CC options to interrupt or deter Renekton's empowered (W) stun attempts and punish cooldowns.
Apply poke with (Q) and (W) to chip Renekton before committing to trades, then disengage to avoid his burst combo.

Danger windows

Beware when Renekton has high fury and both (E) casts ready, as he can dash in for empowered (W) burst trades.
Avoid extended trades when (R) is active, as he gains significant sustain and damage.
Be cautious after using your defensive (E) CC if Renekton still has escape tools available for follow-up engages.

Early game

Use level 1-2 to safely poke with (Q) and test Renekton's engage cooldowns without overcommitting.
At level 3, leverage full spellbook options to maintain distance and keep defensive (E) ready for Renekton's burst trades.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 and focus on wave control to prevent Renekton from stacking fury easily.

Power spikes

Respect Renekton's level 3 spike when he gains full combo with (Q), empowered (W), and (E); avoid trades without a clear exit.
Use Hwei's level 3 spike to maximize spellbook versatility for poke, shield, and CC to control the lane safely.
Track level 6 availability: use (R) for all-ins or roams, but respect (R) durability and avoid low-health fights post-6.

Win conditions

Win by controlling space with long-range poke and using (E) CC to prevent Renekton's empowered trades and fury stacking.
Punish Renekton after he expends both (E) dashes or misses empowered (W) by stepping forward for short trades.
Use (R) at level 6 for decisive all-ins or roams to snowball advantages and deny Renekton early lane dominance.
