| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zyra | You out-poke Pyke at level 1 with Q against his low base health. |
| Level 2 | Zyra | Plant-empowered E at 2 roots him before he charges Bone Skewer. |
| Level 3 | Zyra | Level 3 seed poke keeps taxing a champ with no sustain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even out as his hook-into-all-in threat comes online. |
| Level 6 | Pyke | Pyke's level-6 Death From Below execute resets swing the all-in his way. |
| First item | Pyke | First-item roam and execute pressure keep Pyke ahead. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late game is a skill coin-flip over who lands CC first. |
Levels 1-3 you dominate the poke war: Pyke has one of the lowest support health pools and no way to sustain your seed-fed Q, so tax him every time he approaches Bone Skewer range. Hold your E to root him on his walk-up and he can't charge a hook, forcing him to burn Ghostwater Dive (W) to disengage.
