| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|

| Level 2 | Tristana | Level 2 favours you because your extra point adds trade or escape while he stays slow and immobile. |

| Levels 4-5 | Tristana | Levels 4-5 favour you as you punish every cage cooldown window with range and burst. |
| Level 6 | Tristana | Level 6 favours you because Buster Shot escapes his ult and your W all-in beats his zero mobility. |
| First item | Tristana | First item favours you as your item spike shreds his low base health before his AP scales. |
| Two+ items | Tristana | Two-plus items favour you because dodging or W-jumping Event Horizon neutralizes his only kill combo. |
You control levels 1-2 outright: Veigar is immobile with only slow, telegraphed spells, so you walk up and E-poke every CS attempt while easily sidestepping Baleful Strike and any early Dark Matter.
