Track: Sivir's E — Spell Shield (24–18s cooldown). Eats your key spell and refunds her mana — bait it with a cheap cast first.
Read from Heimerdinger's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sivir.
This is Heimerdinger's own plan; across 926 pooled games the lane is leaning Sivir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Level 1 favours you because your turret wall blanks Sivir's early Ricochet and out-sustains her mana. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | Level 2 favours you as a second point in Q lets a turret shield the wall she cannot safely push. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | Level 3 favours you since W-E plus turret fire out-trades her whole waveclear kit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Levels 4-5 favour you because you re-drop turrets faster than her Boomerang can clear them and her mana bleeds. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | Level 6 favours you as UPGRADE!!! adds real damage while her R only grants movement speed. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | First item favours you because Liandry's-style DoT beats her single Spell Shield block. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | 2+ items favours you as pre-placed turrets and grenades lock down her zone despite her R speed. |
Levels 1-2 you own the wall: drop Q behind your minions and let Hextech Affinity turret-aura keep you healthy while Sivir's early Ricochet damage does nothing to a turret. Deny her push and she falls behind in farm. Her Spell Shield stops the grenade but not the turret, so lead with the wall and hold the stun until the shield has popped. Ricochet costs her a lot of mana this early and does very little to a turret. Push the lane and let the mana bill rather than the trade decide who wins the level.
