| Level 3 | Sivir | Rank-2 Q and shield uptime let Sivir dictate the wave and win trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zeri | By level 4 Zeri's rank-2 Q pierces minions to poke back and even the lane. |

Levels 1-3 are Sivir's: her Boomerang Blade out-ranges you, Ricochet shoves the wave onto you, and Spell Shield punishes any careless Q. Focus on safe last-hits under tower, don't feed her shield free value, and accept she controls the wave until you come online.
