| Stage | Favoured | Why |

| Level 3 | Darius | Level 3 favours Darius — E-pull into W burst kills before his clone spike. |
| Levels 4-5 | Wukong | Levels 4-5 favour Wukong — W stealth-clone dodges your pull and E-shred wins trades. |
| Level 6 | Wukong | Level 6 favours Darius — bait the W clone and your E-pull all-in beats him despite Cyclone. |

Levels 1-3 belong to Darius — E-pull him and stack Hemorrhage before his tools arrive. His level-4 spike flips it though: W drops a decoy clone and stealths him, dodging your E-pull, while his E gap-close and armor shred out-trade you through 4-5. Play tighter once he hits 4.
