| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Yone's level-1 Q poke and E windup beat your feeble early Transfusion trades. |
| Level 2 | Yone | At 2 he still out-damages you and you have no W to escape a setup. |
| Level 3 | Yone | Yone hits 3 with Q3 knock-up plus E, a burst combo you cannot answer yet. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Through 4-5 Yone's empowered Q3 into E all-in outraces your Transfusion heals. |
| Level 6 | Vladimir | At 6 Hemoplague plus full E lets you flip the fight and W pools his knock-up. |
| First item | Yone | On his first mythic Yone's Q3 gap-close and dive reliability outpace your single-item spike. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | With two items your kiting, pool timing, and Hemoplague team amp outscale his single-target dive. |
Levels 1-2 belong to Yone: his Q poke and E windup out-trade your weak early Transfusion, and with no W yet you have no escape from a Q3 setup, so last-hit safe and do not contest the first two waves.
