| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Akali | Your pressure on his lack of soldiers and mana wins the early trades cleanly |
| Level 2 | Akali | Your mobility and burst continue to punish his still-developing zone control |
| Level 3 | Akali | Your dive can slip through his incomplete soldier wall and land cleanly |
| Levels 4-5 | Akali | Your engage continues to outpace his positioning before his kit is fully set up |
| Level 6 | Akali | Your item spike lets you close the gap and burst him before his wall fully forms |
| First item | Akali | Your assassination combo still gets through his defenses in most skirmish windows |
| Two+ items | Azir | Azir's teamfight scaling and Emperor's Divide peel finally give him the answer to shut down your engage |
Azir is weak and passive before he has soldiers stacked and mana to spend, so you can punish his approach and farming pattern directly, using your mobility to bypass his early poke attempts.
