| Level 3 | Naafiri | Level 3 with full Packmates you burst him whenever his cage is down. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 you keep shoving and diving on his E cooldown. |

| First item | Even / skill | First item lets you kill before his stacked combo lands. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | You stay favoured into 2+ items as long as you sidestep Event Horizon. |
