| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You out-trade him at level 1 — he has no combat pressure to punish your farm. |
| Level 2 | Qiyana | Level 2 still yours: Wild Cards poke can't beat your sustain and W move speed. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 you assemble WEQ and gain a lethal all-in on a dashless target. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 your kill threat compounds each time his Gold Card is down. |
| Level 6 | Qiyana | At 6 your R pins him to a wall with no escape, a guaranteed all-in. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item lets you burst him from full before he can react. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two-plus items you one-combo him in any skirmish — his squishy kit can't survive. |
Levels 1-2 you out-stat him: he can only chip with Wild Cards and has no way to punish your last-hitting since he can't fight back through your W move speed. Sit on your element and farm — don't eat free Q poke, but you hold the lane. Track Twisted Fate Pick a Card (W): 6s — the locked gold card starts every trade and gank; back off the moment it glows yellow, commit the moment it's spent.
