Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize high lane pressure to disrupt Renekton's fury stacking and short burst trades.
This is a control vs snowball matchup where Illaoi must leverage tentacle zoning to punish Renekton's early aggression.

Trading pattern

Fish for (E) to force Renekton into tentacle range and punish with (W) and tentacle slams.
Avoid chasing after (E) dash out; trade only when he is forced into your zone.
Punish Renekton after he uses both (E) casts forward by committing with (R) in prepared tentacle zones.

Danger windows

Respect Renekton's high fury empowered (W) stun and (E) double dash for burst trades.
Avoid extended fights when (R) is down to reduce vulnerability to Renekton's all-in potential.
Beware of ganks post-level 6 when (R) is unavailable, as Renekton's dive threat increases.

Early game

Establish tentacles early around the wave to limit Renekton's dash and stun engage options.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 unless (E) lands to punish Renekton's burst combo.
Use (E) to pull spirits when Renekton commits with both (E) dashes to capitalize on his limited escape.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) is a major spike; fight only inside tentacle zones and use (R) to turn multi-target fights.
Renekton's level 3 full combo is dangerous; trade cautiously and respect his empowered (W) stun window.
Side lane with multiple tentacles is a strong spike; set up zones before pressuring tower or wave.

Win conditions

Use (R) to punish multi-target commits and turn ganks into favorable fights.
Deny Renekton's fury stacking by maintaining lane pressure and wave control to limit his burst windows.
