Renekton vs Hwei

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Renekton must leverage his early lane pressure and high agency to deny Hwei a calm scaling lane.
Control the mid wave tempo to force Hwei into defensive play and prevent him from setting up poke or crowd control windows.

Trading pattern

Engage trades only with high fury, using (E) dash in, empowered (W) stun, (Q) for healing and damage, then exit with second (E).
Punish Hwei when his (E) spellbook CC cooldown or shield options are down by forcing short trades.
Avoid using both (E) dashes forward without lethal damage or wave support to prevent being vulnerable to Hwei's counterpoke or crowd control.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Hwei has (E) crowd control available, as it can interrupt trades and set up his poke.
Avoid committing to trades without second (E) available for escape, as Hwei can punish overextensions.
Track (R) ultimate cooldown to avoid all-in windows where he can leverage his increased damage and control.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to aggressively build fury and establish short burst trades with (E) plus empowered (W) before Hwei unlocks full spellbook options.
Avoid extended fights without fury and second (E) available to exit safely against Hwei's crowd control (E).
Prioritize early wave pressure to prevent Hwei from comfortably using his poke and control spells.

Power spikes

At level 3, Renekton gains full combo with (Q), (W), and (E); use this to trade aggressively with fury and planned exits.
At level 6, activate (R) to increase durability and convert short trades into all-ins when Hwei is chipped or pressured.
Respect Hwei's level 6 (R) ultimate window by avoiding extended trades and holding cooldowns to punish after it expires.

Win conditions

Snowball early by stacking fury and forcing empowered short trades to deny Hwei scaling and poke setup.
Use level 6 (R) to force decisive fights or dives when Hwei is low or trapped under wave pressure.
Maintain lane priority to crash waves and create opportunities for roams or objective control before Hwei completes key items.
