| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|

| Level 2 | Even / skill | Skill at level 2: trades are even and depend on who lands their poke cleanly. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Skill at level 3: her Miasma is up but your W-E threat balances it into a coin-flip. |
| Levels 4-5 | Cassiopeia | Levels 4-5 favour Cassiopeia because Miasma grounds you and Twin Fang out-DPSes your bursts. |
| Level 6 | Cassiopeia | At 6 her Petrifying Gaze plus a Miasma ground beats your combo, so she holds the all-in. |
| First item | Cassiopeia | First item keeps her ahead with superior sustained DPS and self-healing. |
| Two+ items | Cassiopeia | With two items she wins extended fights outright, forcing you into a pick/utility playstyle. |
