Build a lane threat your ADC can cash in

0:00–14:00; level-two race, first recalls, wave crashes, the 8:00 Voidgrub camp, and the transition toward later objective setups.

From 0:00 to about 14:00, establish whether your duo can contest the level-two race and which enemy spell creates the first lethal threat. If you have wave advantage, use the threat of Q to zone last hits, mark enemies when your ADC can trigger the marks, and crash before recalling. If behind, use E for shielded short trades and keep Q for the enemy's engage; do not roam away from an uncrashed wave. As an objective window approaches, rotate only after your lane state pays for the movement; the three-Voidgrub camp spawns at 8:00, while later objective timing depends on the current map state.

Lane

Make Q a threat before it becomes a spell

If your ADC can contest the first waves and Renata has Q available, position around the enemy's last-hit path rather than firing on cooldown; threaten Q when the target is committed, then use the recast to displace them only when your ADC or jungler can follow. If your wave is losing the level-two race, give the contested minions and preserve health until your duo reaches the same level.

With Renata Glasc

• Play near Renata when you are the carry, but do not force her to guess your engage. If you can damage a marked enemy or secure a takedown during Bailout, signal the target and keep fighting inside a reachable space; if your escape is already impossible, move toward the nearest enemy rather than away from all targets so Bailout can produce its recovery condition.
• If Renata lands Q or uses E to slow the enemy, treat that as a short conversion window, not a license to chase through fog. Follow when you are within reach and the wave or objective makes the play valuable; otherwise take the space she created and reset together.
• When Renata holds Hostile Takeover for counter-engage, let the enemy enter first if the objective forces them through a choke. If she has already used R and the enemy's key diver is still available, play closer to her peel range and avoid starting a second fight without tracking that threat.
• During objective setups, help Renata reach the river with the team before the objective window. If she is sweeping or placing vision, cover the entrance; her kit is much more reliable when the enemy must walk into a prepared line than when she face-checks alone.
