Guide to Countering Leona as Renekton

Tips for Playing as Renekton against Leona

Cull the Meek drains an enormous amount of life when used in the middle of the fray. You can use this to bait opponents into thinking you are weaker than you really are.

Slice and Dice excels at harassing maneuvers. Slice in, follow up with another skill and then Dice back out to safety.

Cooldown reduction is especially good for Renekton, allowing him to both quickly build up and use his Fury.

Advice to Win Against Leona

When Leona activates Eclipse, you have three seconds to get away from her before she deals damage.

Only foes in the center of Solar Flare get stunned, so you can often avoid this if you're quick.
