Read from Vayne's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Twitch.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Twitch | Level 1 favours Twitch because his stealth and poison-detonate burst out-trade you early. |
| Level 2 | Twitch | Level 2 favours Twitch as Ambush repositioning lets him stack and chunk you safely. |
| Level 3 | Twitch | Level 3 favours Twitch since Contaminate detonation out-bursts your unspiked kit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Twitch | Levels 4-5 favour Twitch because his poison trades and roam threat control the lane. |
| Level 6 | Twitch | Level 6 favours Twitch because Spray and Pray plus support make him a lane bully. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is skill-decided as Silver Bolts lets you trade but his burst keeps it even. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | 2+ items is skill-decided because his stealth-flank R damage matches your carry, hinging on positioning. |
Levels 1-5 belong to Twitch: his Ambush stealth lets him reposition and stack Deadly Venom, and Contaminate detonates that poison for a burst that out-trades your early kit. Ward the flanks, farm on the move, keep your health out of E-detonation range, and don't contest a losing trade before you spike. His stealth means the danger is never in front of you, so ward the flanks and farm where both brushes are visible. Roll for angles, not for trades. Save the knock-back for the instant he shows himself, because pinning a revealed Twitch on a wall is the entire answer to his burst.
