| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Orianna | Your Command Attack plus ball range out-trades Azir's stubby early soldiers. |
| Level 2 | Orianna | At level 2 you still hold the poke lead before he can stack passive damage. |
| Level 3 | Orianna | Level 3 ball-forward Q trades punish every soldier step-up he takes. |
| Levels 4-5 | Orianna | Through 4-5 your range and wave control keep him pinned and unable to scale freely. |
| Level 6 | Orianna | Even at 6 your Shockwave threat on the ball zones his step-ins. |
| First item | Azir | Azir's first item and Emperor's Divide let his soldier DPS and wall overtake your poke. |
| Two+ items | Azir | In teamfights his Shuffle and wall disruption outweigh your combo, tilting 2-item priority to him. |
You out-poke Azir at levels 1-3: your Command Attack range plus the ball carry beats his tiny early soldier reach, and every time he walks up to farm you can land a ball-forward Q and reset it onto yourself for the next trade.
