How to play Renekton — Wild Rift guide, combos & tips
Renekton, Wild Rift's Butcher of the Sands, is a snowballing top-lane Fighter whose entire kit runs on Fury — every basic attack and ability charges the bar, and crossing 50 Fury empowers Cull the Meek, Ruthless Predator and Slice and Dice into stronger versions. His damage is almost entirely physical, and he's built to bully the laning phase, chaining a dash into a hard stun to force all-ins that snowball into map pressure before scaling opponents take over. One of the more beginner-friendly Fighters to pick up, he rewards aggression and punishes passive laning far more than patient, late-game play.
Strengths
- Dominant early-game bully: autos and Cull the Meek build Fury fast, letting you force winning all-ins as early as level 2-3 and snowball a lane lead into map pressure.
- Strong self-sustain — Cull the Meek's healing jumps sharply once Fury crosses 50, letting you win extended trades and clear waves without recalling.
- Reliable engage and lockdown: Ruthless Predator's stun plus Slice and Dice's dash let you pick fights on your terms and follow up on any opening.
- Dominus is a genuine power spike on demand — instant Fury and a large temporary HP buffer make your level 5+ all-ins very hard to punish.
Weaknesses
- Falls off hard into the late game — scaling hyper-carries and ranged threats out-damage and out-range you once laning phase ends.
- Fury generation depends on landing hits, so kiting, disengage tools and pure poke starve your combo of the resource it needs to empower.
- Dash-heavy kit is vulnerable to parries and counters — abilities like Jax's Counter Strike or Fiora's Riposte can flip your all-in in an instant.
- Melee with no long-range escape and almost no peel for teammates, so your teamfight value is limited to picks rather than protecting your own carries.
Combos
- E → W → Q — dash in with Slice and Dice to close the gap and build Fury, stun with Ruthless Predator, then unload Cull the Meek for AoE damage and healing.
- W → Auto-Attack → Q — stun first, weave the empowered second auto-attack into the stun window, then follow with Cull the Meek to heal off the trade.
- R → E → W → Q — pop Dominus for the instant Fury and HP burst, dash in, stun, then Cull the Meek: the standard level 5+ all-in.
- E (in) → E (out) — Slice and Dice can be recast within 4 seconds of hitting an enemy, so use the second dash purely to disengage if a trade turns sour instead of chasing deeper.
Skill order: Q > W > E
Early game
Renekton's early game is about forcing trades before opponents hit their power spikes. Weave autos and Cull the Meek together to build Fury quickly, then look to all-in the moment you cross 50 Fury and your abilities empower — a Slice and Dice dash into a Ruthless Predator stun usually wins the exchange outright. Rush Blade of the Ruined King for the extra sustain and scaling damage, shove waves to threaten dives from your jungler, and try to bank a kill or a plate lead while the laning phase is still yours — your trades are at their scariest in the early levels, and once the enemy laner gets their first completed items your all-ins stop being free.
Mid & late game — teamfighting
By the mid game Renekton is less of a scaling threat and more of a pick-and-dive tool: activate Dominus before committing to soak the first burst of damage, refill your Fury bar instantly, and chip the enemy team with the ultimate's damage aura. Use Slice and Dice to jump onto an isolated carry and Ruthless Predator to lock them down long enough for your team to finish the kill, then use the recast dash to reset instead of chasing too deep. Build into Hullbreaker for split-push pressure and pick up Mortal Reminder or Experimental Hexplate depending on whether the enemy needs anti-heal or you need extra mobility, and remember to flank rather than front-line — your kit offers almost no peel, so your value comes from picks, not soaking damage for the team.
Pro tips
- Weave basic attacks between spells whenever you can — Fury from autos adds up fast, and banking 50+ before you commit means Q, W and E all hit their empowered values in the fight that matters.
- Blade of the Ruined King is close to a mandatory first item on Renekton: the lifesteal and percent-health damage keep you relevant against tanks and squishies alike.
- Don't burn both Slice and Dice charges chasing a kill — the recast window is only 4 seconds after a hit, so treat the second dash as an escape option, not just a follow-up gap-closer.
