| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even as her long-range Q poke-and-heal offsets your Q pressure. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is a skill matchup hinging on catching her step-up with E versus her safe poke. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays even because her Q range and sustain trade with your poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Swain | Levels 4-5 favour you as E closes range and P pulls punish her low HP. |
| Level 6 | Swain | Level 6 is Swain since R drains through her Q heals in the all-in. |
| First item | Swain | First item favours you as an E-root plus Liandry's bursts her before she out-ranges you. |
| Two+ items | Senna | 2+ items favour Senna as stacked souls and global R scale past your immobile engage. |
Levels 1-3 are a skill matchup: Senna's Q Piercing Darkness out-ranges your Q Death's Hand and heals her, so you can't just poke her down. Your edge is E Nevermove; if she walks up to last-hit a soul or auto your ADC, root her and Q for a real chunk, but if she plays back and pokes, respect the trade and farm.
