| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nautilus | Nautilus's Q hook, passive stun and W shield out-trade your level-1 Q that costs health. |
| Level 2 | Nautilus | At level 2 his Riptide-backed all-in still lands more than yours before you have E. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 your E Blunt Force Trauma finally answers his burst and lets you trade back evenly. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | At 4-5 a re-hook with Titan's Wrath up evens the short trade again. |
| Level 6 | Dr. Mundo | His level-6 Depth Charge lock outclasses your R as a fight-starter and gank tool. |
| First item | Even / skill | By first item your HP and haste neutralize his chunk, so the lane evens on skill. |
| Two+ items | Dr. Mundo | Neither solo-kills the other late, so the outcome rides on CC usage and roams — pure skill. |
Nautilus out-trades you at levels 1-2: Dredge Line plus Titan's Wrath's shield beat anything you start, and Staggering Blow's root eats your passive cannister on his first auto — so the hook lands in full.
