| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia's poke range and wave pressure outclass his early Wild Cards chip damage, letting you control lane from level 1 |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Cassiopeia continues to punish his low mobility with Miasma zoning through levels 2 |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | By level 3 Cassiopeia's full combo threatens a kill any time he steps up, and he lacks an escape |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Cassiopeia's stun into full rotation wins any all-in his kit can offer through levels 4-5 |
| Level 6 | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia's Petrifying Gaze stun neutralizes his kiting and secures kill windows off vision reads |
| First item | Even / skill | Cassiopeia's AP scaling and DoT ticks simply out-damage his card burst in a straight fight |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Destiny reveals your team and Gates him in behind you, and with no dash you are the easiest flank to catch |
Twisted Fate's Wild Card poke has decent range but low base damage early, and he has to commit to landing cards while you can Noxious Blast the wave and threaten an all-in the instant he overextends for CS. He wants to shove and roam off Destiny, so watch his mana and card color tells, but you win any stand-still trade from level 3 onward.
