| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5: you can bait the pool and all-in repeatedly before any HP-AP stacking matters. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6: your Grand Starfall all-in beats his teamfight-oriented Hemoplague this early. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item: your Eclipse/Trinity burst still kills him if you commit before he pools out. |
