| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Samira | Level 1 you bully an immobile, dash-less Twitch at his weakest. |
| Level 2 | Samira | At 2 your combo out-trades his poke-only early kit with ease. |
| Level 3 | Samira | By 3 your E dash and passive shred him long before he scales. |
| Levels 4-5 | Samira | Through 4-5 you deny stacks and farm while he stays fragile. |
| Level 6 | Samira | Your level 6 Inferno Trigger with CC kills him before Spray and Pray. |
| First item | Samira | At one item your crit spike still lands ahead of his hypercarry breakpoint. |
| Two+ items | Twitch | Two items in, Twitch's R pierces your team and out-DPSes you from stealth. |
Twitch is one of the weakest early laners with no dash and only a slow, so at 1-2 you can step up behind minions and punish him freely; there is no burst or escape to fear, only his passive poison stacks, which mean nothing while you out-trade him with your combo. He has no dash and only a slow, so step up behind minions and punish him freely. Blade Whirl eats the venom cask on the way in. Buy the vision that stops the flank, and let your grade climb off a champion who cannot answer a single one of your rotations.
