Read from Vel'Koz's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Milio.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vel'Koz | You out-range and out-threaten Milio's telegraphed early kit at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Vel'Koz | Your level-2 kill pressure beats his no-threat shield tempo. |
| Level 3 | Vel'Koz | At 3 your poke still lands before his heals accumulate value. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vel'Koz | Levels 4-5 you keep dictating trades ahead of his sustain curve. |
| Level 6 | Vel'Koz | Your ult's raw damage beats his cleanse-ult heal on a low target at 6. |
| First item | Vel'Koz | First-item burst still overpowers his early shield throughput. |
| Two+ items | Milio | Milio's stacked shields, heals and cleanse out-sustain your poke into two-plus items. |
Level 1-2 you dominate: Milio has no early kill pressure, just a telegraphed Q knock-up, so you Q-E him and his carry freely and take the level-2 lead to shove him under tower. His shields are on cooldown often enough early that focused poke still connects. His kick knocks you out of the rotation, so cycle it quickly rather than spreading the pieces out. Split the opener so both halves land, hold the knock-up for the moment his kick is spent, and press their carry rather than a support whose healing outlasts your chip.
