| Level 2 | Twitch | At 2 your on-hit chip out-trades her before her escape matters. |
| Level 3 | Twitch | At 3 a W-down Ambush still lets you burst her first. |
| Levels 4-5 | Twitch | Through 4-5 you retain the edge while her cooldowns are exposed. |
| Level 6 | Tristana | At 6 Buster Shot peels your all-in and flips the kill threat to her. |
| First item | Tristana | Her first-item E-stack plus W-reset combo out-bursts you in a trade. |
| Two+ items | Twitch | Late, your Expunge shreds her squishy frame and reclaims the matchup. |
