| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lux | Level 1 favors Lux — her Light Binding and poke range beat your unstacked Q before you can trade back. |
| Level 2 | Lux | Level 2 stays Lux's as her Lucent Singularity zoning out-damages your early laning. |
| Level 3 | Taliyah | Level 3 flips to you: full Q-W-E lets you dodge her binding and punish the cooldown. |
| Levels 4-5 | Taliyah | Levels 4-5 favor Taliyah because your W-into-Q all-in threatens her low-mobility frame every trade. |
| Level 6 | Taliyah | Level 6 is yours — landed W plus stacked Q and Weaver's Wall out-duels her Final Spark. |
| First item | Taliyah | First item stays Taliyah-favored as matched waveclear frees you to force fights she can't answer. |
| Two+ items | Taliyah | With 2+ items you dominate: her immobility means your pick threat decides the fight. |
Levels 1-2 belong to Lux: her Light Binding plus Lucent Singularity out-range and out-poke your unstacked Q, so respect the root, hug your wave, and don't walk up without worked ground under you.
