Read from Orianna's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Twisted Fate.
This is Orianna's own plan; across 3,805 pooled games the lane is leaning Twisted Fate.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Orianna | Your ball outranges his auto and he has no stun at level 1, so early harass is yours. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 he still lacks a reliable lock, letting your two-ability trades win. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | With full QWE you double-hit through him while he only farms - your combo wins. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 you control the wave and deny his gold stacking, keeping you ahead. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Destiny goes global at 6 and its roam pressure evens the map state. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your teamfight spike and his Gold-Card pick spike arrive together, so it is even. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | In grouped fights your Shockwave outvalues his single-target Destiny gank. |
You own levels 1-3. Your ball outranges his auto and Wild Cards, and he has zero point-and-click threat until his W is leveled and a gold card is queued, so step up and land QW harass every time he goes for a minion. Keep the wave moving toward him so he burns mana clearing. Track Pick a Card: 6s at every rank — the lock-in is an auto-attack reset, so his wind-up is the cue to step back, not the card cast itself. Step up in its downtime.
