| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Senna | Level 1 favors Senna as her superior auto range chips you for free. |
| Level 2 | Senna | Level 2 favors Senna with Piercing Darkness poke and self-heal. |
| Level 3 | Senna | Level 3 favors Senna as she pokes and stacks souls while staying safe. |
| Levels 4-5 | Senna | Levels 4-5 favor Senna since you still can't trade into her range advantage. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even as Dawning Shadow's utility meets your first-item power. |
| First item | Aphelios | First item favors you as your gun burst beats her back-loaded, stat-starved scaling. |
| Two+ items | Aphelios | 2+ items favors you as sustained gun-swap DPS out-damages her soul-stacking. |
Levels 1-4 belong to Senna: she out-ranges your autos, pokes and self-heals with Piercing Darkness, and stacks Mist souls while staying safe behind minions. You can't trade into that, so play behind your caster wave, dodge her Q line, farm carefully, and accept that you're weak until your items come online.
