Zilean vs Renekton

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Focus on zoning Renekton with bomb zones to limit his short trades and fury stacking.
Use (E) speed to maintain distance and avoid his empowered (W) stun.
Hold (R) to counter Renekton's all-in burst or dive attempts at level 6 and beyond.

Trading pattern

Trade by setting bombs on minions or slowed Renekton to maximize double bomb stun.
Use (E) speed to kite after trading and punish Renekton if he wastes his second (E) dash.
Avoid trading when (W) stun and second (E) dash are up on Renekton; wait for cooldown windows.

Danger windows

Respect Renekton's empowered (W) stun when his fury is high for burst trades.
Beware all-ins after Renekton uses first (E) dash and still has second dash to follow or escape.
Avoid extended fights post level 6 when (R) adds durability and damage.

Early game

Prioritize hitting level 2 first to threaten double bomb stun and speed trades.
Avoid extended fights before level 3 when Renekton gains full combo with (Q), (W), and (E).
Use wave control to keep minions between you and Renekton, reducing his dash effectiveness.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks double bomb plus speed for strong poke and disengage.
Level 3 enables (W) for double bomb threat, increasing trade damage and control.
Level 6 (R) grants revive, forcing Renekton to hesitate on all-ins and enabling counterplay.

Win conditions

Control wave and zone Renekton to prevent fury stacking and short burst trades.
Use (Q) double bombs and (E) speed to poke and disengage, forcing Renekton to miss trades.
Save (R) to negate Renekton's all-in attempts, enabling your team to punish his cooldowns.
