Renekton Top guide

Renekton top is built around Reign of Anger (passive), Cull the Meek (Q), and Ruthless Predator (W): attacking fills a Fury bar, and past 50 Fury he cleaves with Cull the Meek (Q) for bonus damage and healing, dashes in with Slice and Dice (E), then lands an empowered Ruthless Predator (W) for a third slash, a longer stun, and stripped shields.

The build

Rune page: Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand (Precision), with Unflinching and Bone Plating (Resolve). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens Cull the Meek (Q) at level 1, then Slice and Dice (E) at level 2, and maxes Cull the Meek (Q) first with Slice and Dice (E) second. Starter: Doran's Blade and a Health Potion, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Eclipse, Black Cleaver, Death's Dance, with Spear of Shojin, Sterak's Gage, and Stridebreaker as later options.

Ability mechanics

Cull the Meek (Q) hits all targets around Renekton for physical damage and heals him for part of it, with both numbers increased above 50 Fury. Ruthless Predator (W) slashes the target twice for a 0.75-second stun, or three times while destroying damage shields and stunning for 1.5 seconds when empowered. Slice and Dice (E) dashes him through units, adding bonus damage and Armor reduction on the empowered cast, and Dominus (R) transforms him into a bonus-Health form that damages nearby enemies and generates Fury periodically.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Garen, Aatrox, Darius, Sett, Yone. Best matchups: Riven, Ambessa, Yasuo.
