Track: Twitch's Q — Ambush (16s cooldown). The stealth approach starts every Twitch fight — sweep the flanks and track the disappearance.
Read from Nilah's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Twitch.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — Twitch can't yet punish you through stealth. |
| Level 2 | Nilah | At 2 your W dodges his Ambush autos and E on-hits, flipping trades. |
| Level 3 | Nilah | Level 3 E+W let you close and reset on his squishy frame. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay a skill test as he can poke E from range if you misuse W. |
| Level 6 | Nilah | R Apotheosis all-in beats his total lack of self-peel at 6. |
| First item | Nilah | Your first crit item out-DPSes his on-hit reliant kit with W up. |
| Two+ items | Nilah | Your durability and dodge out-scale his glass-cannon range into 2+ items. |
Level 1 is an even skill test — Twitch has stealth Ambush but no way to punish you hard yet, so trade safely behind minions. From level 2 you take over: your W Jubilant Veil is tailor-made against an auto-attack/on-hit champ, dodging his Q autos and E Contaminate ticks while you burst back. Level one is even and level two is yours, because Jubilant Veil blunts his poison entirely and he has nothing to escape a dash with. Farm at reach until then. Buy the vision that stops him choosing the angle, and keep your dash for closing rather than escaping.
