| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Swain | Level 1 favours Swain — his W poke and %-HP passive punish your stacking. |
| Level 2 | Swain | Level 2 stays his as he pokes safely and you can't answer his range. |
| Level 3 | Swain | Level 3 is Swain's: E Nevermove into Q gives him a full-combo kill threat. |
| Levels 4-5 | Dr. Mundo | Levels 4-5 flip to you — Q slow and Heart Zapper let you contest and walk him. |
| Level 6 | Swain | Level 6 swings back to Swain: Demonic Ascension drains your pool and Q can't peel it. |
| First item | Dr. Mundo | First item favours you as tenacity plus tank stats let you out-sustain his ult. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | At 2+ items it's a skill fight — landing E versus timing R decides each exchange. |
Levels 1-3 belong to Swain: his W poke, E root and %-max-HP passive punish your health-stacking hard, and you have no answer to his single-target burst, so respect his range and soak minimal damage.
