| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 it's a hook mirror with matched ranges - pure skill. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 both threaten identical hooks, so the trade is skill-decided. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 remains an even hook-duel with no clear edge. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 neither spikes decisively; it stays skill-based. |
| Level 6 | Pyke | At 6 Pyke's resetting Death from Below execute swings fights his way. |
| First item | Pyke | Into his first item his roam and execute pressure keep Pyke ahead. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late, one landed hook kills the squishy Pyke, re-leveling it to skill. |
Levels 1-3 are a pure hook mirror and it's skill-based: your Death Sentence and his Bone Skewer share range, so trades come down to who baits and who lands first. Watch his Ghostwater Dive - when he stealths he's winding up a Q and healing, so give ground rather than feed a blind hook. Keep your Flay ready to interrupt his dash-back and to peel your ADC if he skewers.
