Your lane DPS is his scaling tax — tap the duo, bounce the cover, and channel the 2v2 he can't unsubscribe from.
Track: Smolder's E — Flap, Flap, Flap (24–16s cooldown). The glide over terrain is his whole escape — engage in the window after it shows.
Read from Miss Fortune's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Smolder.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Miss Fortune | You win level 1 as Smolder has zero early damage and you own the trade with Double Up. |
| Level 2 | Miss Fortune | Level 2 stays yours since your two-point burst crushes his stack-starved kit. |
| Level 3 | Miss Fortune | Level 3 favours you because your supported all-in beats his no-escape early laning. |
| Levels 4-5 | Miss Fortune | Levels 4-5 remain yours as he still lacks a dash to survive your Strut trades. |
| Level 6 | Miss Fortune | Level 6 is yours: Bullet Time punishes his immobility before he comes online. |
| First item | Miss Fortune | First item stays yours because your spike arrives long before his 125-stack threshold. |
| Two+ items | Smolder | At two items Smolder wins: his stacked Q execute and R burst out-scale your kit late. |
Levels 1-2 are yours outright: Smolder is a pure scaler with no early damage, so you control the wave and threaten him off his opening stacks with Double Up. Every stack he takes is scaling you have to answer later, so contest the last-hits rather than trading for their own sake. Bounce the Q through the wave as it crashes. Take the plate, keep the lane pushed, and let your support open whenever he steps up for a minion he cannot afford to miss.
