Neeko vs Renekton

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Neeko must manage lane pressure to avoid giving Renekton early wave control and fury stacking opportunities.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Neeko aims to deny Renekton's early aggression and leverage her burst and disguise for picks.

Trading pattern

Fish for (E) through minions to root Renekton and follow up with (Q) burst before he can respond.
Punish when Renekton uses both (E) casts forward by stepping up for trades or wave pressure.
Avoid trading when Renekton has high fury and empowered (W) ready; respect his short burst trade window.

Danger windows

Beware when Renekton has high fury and empowered (W) available alongside both (E) casts for aggressive short trades.
Respect his level 6 (R) window where he gains health and sustained damage for all-ins.
Be cautious if Renekton positions to dash in with (E) and stun with empowered (W), especially if your (E) root is on cooldown.

Early game

Use minion waves to angle (E) roots and poke safely before level 6 to prevent Renekton from stacking fury easily.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 where Renekton's burst with empowered (W) and (E) dashes is strongest.
Prioritize wave control that denies Renekton clean short trades and forces him to use both (E) casts forward, creating punish windows.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to threaten all-ins or picks, forcing Renekton to respect your engage and limiting his aggression.
After your first AP burst item, increase pressure with confident (E) angles and (Q) poke while tracking Renekton's cooldowns.
Respect Renekton's level 3 full combo and level 6 (R) for his increased burst and durability; avoid extended trades during these spikes.

Win conditions

Use disguise and minion-enhanced (E) roots to create picks or force Renekton to miss key trades.
Deny Renekton's fury stacking by controlling wave states and punishing his cooldowns to prevent his early lane dominance.
Leverage level 6 (R) threat to force decisive fights or roams, turning lane pressure into teamfight impact and pick setups.
