| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Karma | Karma's Mantra-Q out-ranges and roots you at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Karma | Level 2 her poke-and-shield pattern zones your CS. |
| Level 3 | Karma | At 3 Mantra-RQ still controls the trade range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | 4-5 evens out as your all-in threat matures. |
| Level 6 | Yone | At 6 your R turns the kill pressure to Yone. |
| First item | Yone | First item lets you burst through her E shield. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Two items and you dive a peel-less enchanter freely. |
Karma wins the opening levels: her Mantra-empowered Q roots and out-ranges everything you have, and her E shield absorbs your Q poke while she chips you. Play back, soak XP, and don't walk into RQ range with your E on cooldown.
