Renekton vs Vladimir

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Renekton must leverage his early lane pressure to deny Vladimir a calm, scaling-focused lane.
Prioritize wave control and short burst trades to prevent Vladimir from farming safely and stacking empowered (Q).

Trading pattern

Trade only with high fury and empowered (W) ready, using (E) to engage and disengage safely.
Punish Vladimir immediately after he uses (W) untargetability, as he becomes vulnerable during its cooldown.
Avoid trading when Vladimir's empowered (Q) is available; wait for it to be on cooldown before committing to burst trades.

Danger windows

Beware of Vladimir's empowered (Q) ready state; avoid trading when he can sustain and burst simultaneously.
Respect (W) untargetability cooldown; do not engage when it is available or expect him to negate your stun.
Post-level 6, (R) amplifies damage significantly; avoid low-health trades and be ready to disengage or all-in decisively.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to aggressively stack fury and force short trades before Vladimir can sustain with (Q).
Avoid extended fights where Vladimir can outheal and outscale; focus on quick, empowered (W) trades with (E) mobility.
Keep wave on your side to pressure Vladimir and force him to use (W) defensively, opening punish windows.

Power spikes

Level 3: Full combo (Q)+(W)+(E) enables lethal short trades; use this to establish lane dominance.
Level 6: Activate (R) to convert short trades into all-ins or dives when Vladimir is low or cornered.
Respect Vladimir's level 6 (R) burst window by avoiding extended fights and holding defensive cooldowns.

Win conditions

Snowball early lane pressure by stacking fury and forcing Vladimir to use (W) defensively, then punish the cooldown.
Deny Vladimir safe farming by controlling wave and using short burst trades with (E)+(W)+(Q) combo.
Use level 6 (R) to convert lane lead into kills or dives, preventing Vladimir from reaching key AP item spikes.
