Renekton vs Annie

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Renekton's early lane pressure and high fury trades to deny Annie a calm scaling mid lane.
Focus on controlling tempo and forcing short trades before Annie reaches her level 6 power spike and item powerspikes.

Trading pattern

Trade explosively when fury is high using (E) dash in, empowered (W) stun, (Q) heal, then exit with second (E).
Punish Annie when her stun passive or (R) ultimate is on cooldown by forcing short trades.
Avoid trading when low on fury or after committing both (E) casts forward to maintain safety.

Danger windows

Beware of Annie's passive stun triggered on 4th spell stack; avoid prolonged trades that let her proc it.
Respect (R) ultimate stun and burst damage window, especially post-level 6.
Avoid overextending after using both (E) dashes forward, as you become vulnerable to Annie's burst and follow-up crowd control.

Early game

Aggressively use level 1-3 to stack fury and trade with (E) plus empowered (W) before Annie can safely retaliate.
Avoid extended trades without fury or after using both (E) dashes forward to prevent Annie from punishing.
Pressure Annie to force her to push waves with (W), draining her mana and opening windows for all-ins.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full (Q)+(W)+(E) combo with fury to dominate trades and force Annie to play defensively.
At level 6, activate (R) to add durability and convert short trades into all-ins when Annie is chipped.
Respect Annie's level 6 (R) power spike; avoid extended fights and be ready to disengage or counter all-in.

Win conditions

Snowball the lane by using early fury trades and wave control to deny Annie farm and force her out of lane.
Use level 6 (R) to convert leads into decisive all-ins or tower dives under pressure.
Punish Annie's limited waveclear and mana pool by forcing her to push waves and then engage with empowered trades.
