| Level 2 | Naafiri | At 2 your W speed burst and second point punish him last-hitting freely. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 with all Packmates and Q up gives you overwhelming trade burst he can't answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 you shove and threaten every all-in while he only farms. |
| Level 6 | Naafiri | Your 6 all-in with bonus Packmates and speed beats his Flash-only self-peel. |
| First item | Naafiri | First item makes one W-Q lethal on a champion with no defensive tools. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | You stay the stronger duelist into 2+ items, only respecting his Destiny picks. |
