| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even, two engage tanks with mirrored knock-up threat. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill-based as her Crash Down trades one-for-one with your W-Q. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 remains even with both lockdown kits online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay a coin flip decided by who engages first. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 evens out because your R cleanses through her Magnet Storm pull. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item keeps it even as neither tank cracks the other. |
| Two+ items | Alistar | By two items your unstoppable self-peel and reliable knock-up tip the duel to you. |
Levels 1-2 are a pure skill matchup: two hard-engage tanks with knock-ups, so the lane hinges on who commits first, who body-blocks, and whether the ADCs are positioned to cash in the CC.
