Renekton vs Ziggs

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Renekton must leverage his early lane pressure and high agency to prevent Ziggs from safely farming and scaling in mid lane.
Focus on aggressive short trades using fury and mobility to punish Ziggs's immobility and poke reliance before he can establish lane control.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades with (E) dash, follow with empowered (W) stun, hit (Q) for sustain, then exit with second (E) to avoid Ziggs's poke retaliation.
Punish Ziggs when (W) is on cooldown, as he loses his main disengage and turret execute tool.
Avoid using both (E) dashes forward without a clear exit, as it leaves you vulnerable to Ziggs's poke and slows.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is up, as it can knock you away or execute turrets, disrupting your engage.
Avoid extended trades when low on fury or after using both (E) casts forward, as you become vulnerable to Ziggs's poke.
Respect (R) cooldown window; do not commit to all-ins if his ultimate is ready to punish low health or grouped fights.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to aggressively stack fury and threaten quick trades with (E) plus empowered (W) before Ziggs can safely poke.
Avoid extended fights where Ziggs can poke from range; instead, trade quickly and reset before he can respond.
Control the wave to deny Ziggs easy farm and force him to use (W) defensively, creating windows to engage.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full (Q), (W), (E) combo to burst Ziggs before he can respond, securing lane dominance early.
At level 6, activate (R) to increase durability and damage, turning short trades into all-in kill threats when Ziggs is low.
Respect Ziggs's level 6 (R) as it can punish overextensions; avoid risky trades when his ultimate is available.

Win conditions

Snowball early by winning level 1-6 trades with fury-enhanced bursts and denying Ziggs farm and wave control.
Use (R) to convert short-trade advantages into all-ins and turret dives before Ziggs scales.
Maintain lane priority to force Ziggs under turret, limiting his poke and roam potential, securing plates and map pressure.
