| 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.
