Guide to Synergizing Renekton and Malzahar

Tips for Playing as Renekton with Malzahar

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 Understand How Malzahar Will Play

Use Call of the Void and Nether Grasp to renew the duration of Malefic Visions on enemies.

Wait to cast Void Swarm until there are nearby enemies for the Voidling to attack or kill.

Avoiding damage in lane maximizes the uptime on Void Shift, increasing Malzahar's safety dramatically.
