| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sylas | Level 1 favours you because Orianna's ball damage is weak and you win auto-plus-Petricite trades. |
| Level 2 | Orianna | Level 2 flips to Orianna as her Q-W ball combo gives real poke and a slow to kite you. |
| Level 3 | Sylas | Level 3 is yours: E Abscond closes the gap her single slow can't hold. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sylas | Levels 4-5 favour you since your gap-close plus W sustain beat her single-target peel. |
| Level 6 | Sylas | Level 6 is yours because you can Hijack Shockwave or Abduct past her poke to kill. |
| First item | Sylas | First item favours you as your mythic and sustain out-trade her once you're on top. |
| Two+ items | Sylas | At two-plus items your flank engage and ult-theft delete an immobile Orianna in fights. |
Level 1 favours you since Orianna's ball damage is low and you can auto-trade with Petricite Burst procs, but at level 2 she spikes first — her Q Command Attack into W Command Dissonance combo gives real poke and a slow to kite you, so respect her ball placement and don't walk into a stacked combo. Last-hit at range until you hit 3. This is her one window; play around it and your health stays healthy.
