Nasus vs Renekton

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Nasus is a low-agency, scaling juggernaut who must survive Renekton's early lane pressure to reach his stacking and side-lane threat power spikes.
Avoid giving Renekton a passive lane to deny his snowball attempts, focusing on safe (Q) stacks and wave control near your side.

Trading pattern

Trade only when (W) is available to slow Renekton and prevent his escape with (E).
Punish Renekton's cooldowns by stepping forward after he uses empowered (W) or both (E) casts.
Avoid fighting early without (R) and sufficient (Q) stacks; wait for extended fights where your durability and damage outscale.

Danger windows

Beware of Renekton's empowered (W) stun when his fury is high; avoid trading during this window.
Avoid fighting when Renekton has both (E) casts available for engage and escape.
Be cautious of level 6 fights where (R) grants him durability and damage for all-ins.

Early game

Prioritize safe farming and stacking (Q) under tower or near your side to avoid Renekton's empowered short trades.
Use (W) to slow and punish Renekton if he overextends after using both (E) dashes.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 when Renekton's burst and mobility are highest.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to survive longer trades and punish Renekton if he overstays in range.
Once (Q) is stacked high, pressure side lanes to force Renekton to respond or lose plates.
Respect Renekton's level 3 full combo and level 6 (R) all-in power; avoid extended trades during these spikes.

Win conditions

Survive early lane pressure by safe (Q) stacking and wave control near your tower.
Use (W) and (R) to punish Renekton's overextensions and force extended fights once stacked.
Transition to side-lane pressure after stacking (Q) and gaining durability to force Renekton to respond or lose objectives.
