Vex vs Renekton

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Vex must leverage her passive fear to control Renekton's aggressive dash trades and deny his early lane pressure.
This is a snowball matchup where Vex aims to punish Renekton's fury windows and avoid giving him free all-ins.

Trading pattern

Use passive fear to interrupt Renekton's empowered (W) trades and follow up with electrocute burst.
Avoid trading when Renekton has high fury and both (E) casts ready; punish after he uses his second (E) dash forward.
Engage trades when (R) is available to reset and escape, otherwise keep distance and use (W) shield to absorb burst.

Danger windows

Beware when Renekton has high fury, empowered (W) ready, and both (E) casts available for a burst all-in.
Avoid extended trades or fights when your (R) is down, as you lack mobility and reset options.
Exercise caution post-level 6 if Renekton activates (R), increasing his durability and sustained damage threat.

Early game

Use early levels to zone Renekton by proccing fear and avoid extended trades without (R) reset available.
Track Renekton's fury and second (E) cast to anticipate his all-in attempts and respond with fear and shield.
Prioritize wave control to prevent Renekton from stacking fury easily and force him to use both dashes forward for escape.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to engage or reset fights, forcing Renekton to respect your burst and fear windows.
After your first AP burst item, increase pressure on waves and trades, exploiting Renekton's weaker early scaling.
Respect Renekton's level 3 full combo with empowered (W) and double (E) dashes; avoid trades without fear or shield ready.

Win conditions

Win lane by consistently using passive fear to disrupt Renekton's fury trades and proc electrocute for burst damage.
Use (R) to initiate or reset fights, punishing Renekton after he commits both (E) dashes forward.
Deny Renekton's early lane pressure by controlling wave state and forcing him to expend cooldowns defensively rather than offensively.
