League of Legends S12: Renekton Top Build Guide

From runes to items, gameplay tips amd more, we've put together a guide to help you master playing Renekton in the toplane in League of Legends.

That said, this guide is a good starting point to helping you get to grips with the champion and making an impact in your games.

Gameplay

Renekton is notorious for starting very strongly, but dropping off in the lategame. Your job will be to harass the lane and push as quickly as possible.

  • Level 1 - Take Q - Cull the Meek, for heal and trade potential. 
  • Level 2 - Take E - Slice and Dice, so that you have a gap closer and disengage tool as well as damage.
  • First Back - Start building your Goredrinker. If you're struggling in lane, pick up your defensive boots.

Tips & Tricks

  • Managing your Fury resource well is the key to being effective on Renekton. Use your boosted Ruthless Predator during an all-in, and a boosted Cull the Meek during trades. A boosted Slice and Dice will shred tanks.
  • Don't hesitate to use Slice and Dice to escape an enemy gank. 
  • Remember to use your auto-attacks in-between abilities. The animation for Ruthless Predator can be cancelled, so you can chain two autos quickly. 
  • Ruthless Predator passes through shields like those of Morgana and Sivir, so you can still stun the enemy.
