Irelia vs Renekton

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Irelia aims to snowball by controlling waves and denying Renekton early scaling opportunities.
Use high early agency and mobility to pressure Renekton and avoid his burst windows.

Trading pattern

Prepare passive stacks and reset paths before committing to extended trades around (E) stun or (R) marks.
Punish Renekton after he uses both (E) casts or when his fury is low to avoid his burst.
Avoid using (Q) forward without a reset minion or mark to prevent being punished.

Danger windows

Respect Renekton's empowered (W) stun and high fury burst trades; avoid extended fights when his cooldowns are up.
Be cautious when Renekton has both (E) dashes available, as he can engage and disengage safely.
After Renekton uses key cooldowns or both (E) casts, look for punish windows but avoid overcommitting.

Early game

Focus on stacking passive and using (Q) resets on low-health minions to safely engage trades.
Avoid fighting without (E) ready to ensure stun setup and safer all-ins.
Use level 2 power spike with (Q) and (E) to force trades when wave and spacing favor you.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks reliable (E) stun into (Q) resets; use this to force favorable trades.
Level 6 (R) grants stronger engage and stickiness; commit to all-ins only with passive stacks and reset paths.
First completed fighter item improves durability and damage; increase pressure on waves and trades then.

Win conditions

Use wave control to create low-health minions enabling (Q) resets and extended all-ins.
Exploit Renekton's cooldowns and fury management by engaging only when his burst tools are down.
Convert successful all-ins into side-lane pressure to snowball and deny Renekton scaling.
