| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Orianna | Orianna's Command Attack and Dissonance poke win the level-1 exchange. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 her full harass pattern isn't online yet, so the lane sits even. |
| Level 3 | Ryze | Level 3 gives you a W-root punish before her ball control settles, tilting it your way. |
| Levels 4-5 | Orianna | At 4-5 her ball poke and slow zone you off CS, handing her the edge. |
| Level 6 | Orianna | At 6 Shockwave turns any step-up or gank lethal while your ult does nothing in the 1v1, so she leads. |
| First item | Ryze | Your first mana item lets you out-trade her ball harass and survive her poke, putting you ahead. |
| Two+ items | Ryze | With two items your sustained burst beats her rotation and a landed root wins outright. |
Orianna wins level 1 with Command Attack plus Dissonance poke and the slow that keeps you at range, so farm carefully and respect where her ball sits. Level 2 is even before her full harass pattern is online. Your first swing is level 3: if her ball is out of position, W-root her and unload Q-E-Q for a real chunk before she stabilizes.
