| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zilean | Level 1 favors Zilean because his double-bomb Q can poke and stun before your engage is online. |
| Level 2 | Rell | Level 2 favors you since your W-Q spikes and he has no mobility to escape it. |
| Level 3 | Rell | Level 3 favors you because his only peel is a single stun you can bait out. |
| Levels 4-5 | Rell | Levels 4-5 favor you as repeated engages beat his defenseless follow-up. |
| Level 6 | Rell | Level 6 favors you because you can CC-chain to force Chronoshift and re-engage. |
| First item | Rell | First item favors you since your engage out-pressures his stun-only defense. |
| Two+ items | Zilean | Two-plus items favor Zilean because Chronoshift revives your dive target and his speed-ups kite the re-engage. |
Level 1 favors Zilean: his Q double-bomb pokes and can stun you before your engage exists, so respect it and don't walk up early. From level 2 you take over, W-Q locks him down and he has no mobility, so set up an all-in with your ADC while Chronoshift is still off the table.
