Team Synergy

Renekton in Mayhem ARAM operates as a dive initiator and sustained brawler. He excels when teammates provide the crowd control necessary to guarantee his dash resets or the damage required to finish targets he wounds. He struggles without external hard crowd control or when forced to poke rather than all-in.

Core Synergy Needs

  • Hard Crowd Control: Renekton needs setup to land a full empowered Ruthless Predator (W) without getting kited instantly.
  • Follow-Up Damage: He creates openings with stun and armor shred but often lacks the raw damage to kill backline targets alone before they escape.
  • Disengage or Reset Protection: After his initial Slice and Dice engages, he is deep in enemy territory and vulnerable to focus fire.

Top Teammate Synergies

1. Jarvan IV (High Value)

  • Synergy Mechanism: The Cataclysm (R) creates a zone that forces enemies to fight Renekton on his terms.
  • Combo: Jarvan IV lands the EQ knockup, then ults the priority target. Renekton uses Slice and Dice to enter the ring, empowered W stuns the trapped victim, and both unload damage.
  • Best Scenario: Catching a squishy mage or ADC who lacks a dash to escape the terrain.
  • Enemy Answer: Champions with terrain-ignoring dashes or Zhonya's Hourglass can stall until the ultimate ends.
  • Failure Risk: If Jarvan traps Renekton with a fed bruiser, Renekton may lose the 1v1 inside the pit.
  • Recovery: Renekton saves his second Dash charge to exit the ring if the fight turns, repositioning to heal off minions.

2. Orianna (High Value)

  • Synergy Mechanism: Ball delivery allows Renekton to engage from unexpected angles while providing him a shield and armor.
  • Combo: Orianna places the ball on Renekton. He Slice and Dices through the enemy line, and Orianna triggers Shockwave immediately as he arrives.
  • Best Scenario: Enemy teams clumped near their tower, allowing a multi-man stun setup.
  • Enemy Answer: Quick reaction crowd control or spell shields can block the Shockwave, leaving Renekton isolated.
  • Failure Risk: If Renekton engages too deep without Orianna following up, he dies before the ball activates.
  • Recovery: Renekton uses Dominus to gain health and fury, tanking the burst while waiting for cooldowns to rotate for a second stun.

3. Yasuo (High Value)

  • Synergy Mechanism: Renekton provides the knockup Yasuo needs to cast Last Breath (R) safely.
  • Combo: Renekton engages with Slice, auto-attacks, and uses empowered W for the stun. The knockup from the stun animation allows Yasuo to ult instantly.
  • Best Scenario: Mid-fight chaos where Renekton catches a high-value target with a point-blank stun.
  • Enemy Answer: Quicksilver or Cleanse effects can break the stun before Yasuo connects, or the enemy team peels with instant CC.
  • Failure Risk: Yasuo gets burst down before he can follow up, leaving Renekton without damage support.
  • Recovery: Renekton peels back to auto-attack minions for healing, using the second Dash to reposition defensively.

4. Leona (Medium-High Value)

  • Synergy Mechanism: Double dive threat. Leona can lock down targets for extended periods, ensuring Renekton lands every ability.
  • Combo: Leona uses Zenith Blade to engage and casts Solar Flare. Renekton follows the engage angle, dashing in to stun the target Leona has already immobilized.
  • Best Scenario: Picking off isolated enemies on the sides of the bridge during the early game.
  • Enemy Answer: Enemy supports with disengage tools like Janna or Alistar can neutralize the double engage.
  • Failure Risk: Both champions dive too deep and get kited by the remaining enemy team after the initial target dies.
  • Recovery: Renekton activates Dominus to become a temporary frontline tank, absorbing cooldowns while Leona retreats.

5. Miss Fortune (Medium Value)

  • Synergy Mechanism: Renekton creates a chaos zone that keeps enemies in place for a full Bullet Time.
  • Combo: Renekton dives the backline and uses Dominus to create space and threat. As enemies clump to focus him, Miss Fortune channels her ultimate on the cluster.
  • Best Scenario: Fights in narrow chokepoints where enemies cannot sidestep the cone.
  • Enemy Answer: Hard engage on Miss Fortune forces her to cancel the ultimate, or enemies flash out of the zone.
  • Failure Risk: Renekton dies instantly, removing the distraction and allowing enemies to walk out of the Bullet Time area.
  • Recovery: If the combo fails, Renekton looks to Dice through minions to escape, resetting the fight for a second attempt.
