| Level 6 | Darius | At 6 your R executes him before his sustain and stat-steal can save him. |
| First item | Darius | First item Stridebreaker keeps you glued despite his Q slow and Pillar reposition. |
| Two+ items | Trundle | By two-plus items Trundle's attack-speed drain, sustain, and R stat-theft out-DPS your five stacks in a long duel, taking the lane. |
