| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lux | You outrange Vex at level 1 and win the opening trades. |
| Level 2 | Lux | Level 2 stays yours before her Doom passive becomes a real threat. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At 3 it evens: her Gloom mark and shield-poke answer your range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even as both trade poke without a clean kill. |
| Level 6 | Vex | Level 6 favours Vex: Shadow Surge dashes past your snare to all-in. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even again as your burst offsets her interrupt fear. |
| Two+ items | Vex | Late game is Vex's: double-R resets and fear break your channels. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: before her passive is threatening you simply outrange her and control the wave with Q and E.
