Renekton vs Azir

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Renekton should use his early lane pressure and high agency to deny Azir a calm scaling mid lane.
Focus on aggressive short trades with high fury to prevent Azir from safely farming and placing soldiers for poke.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup; Renekton must force early advantages and avoid giving Azir room to scale.

Trading pattern

Trade with full fury using (E) dash in, empowered (W) stun, (Q) heal, and second (E) to exit before Azir can retaliate.
Avoid trading when low on fury or after using both (E) casts forward as you become vulnerable.
Punish Azir’s cooldowns by engaging when his (E) reposition or (R) displacement are down.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Azir’s (R) is available as it can displace and isolate you during all-ins.
Avoid committing if you have used both (E) casts without an escape path, especially near Azir’s soldiers.
Watch for jungle pressure during your engage attempts; overextension can lead to punishes.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to aggressively stack fury and control the wave to set up empowered trades.
Avoid extended fights before level 3 when Renekton lacks full combo and Azir's soldiers can poke safely.
Punish Azir if he mispositions or uses (E) aggressively without a safe escape.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full combo trades to burst Azir before he can safely place soldiers.
At level 6, activate (R) to increase durability and convert short trades into all-ins or dives.
Respect Azir’s level 6 (R) as it can disrupt your engage and force you to hold key cooldowns for follow-up.

Win conditions

Snowball early by forcing empowered short trades with high fury and denying Azir safe farming.
Use wave control to set up dives or roams after level 6 with (R) active.
Prevent Azir from scaling by punishing his cooldowns and zoning him away from soldiers to reduce his poke threat.
