| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Garen | Level 1 your stats and Q silence beat her weak early duel, so you lead. |
| Level 2 | Garen | Level 2 you keep the edge before her vital-stacking gets going. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens out - her Riposte W parry can flip any trade you start. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay skill-based with no ult spike to break the balance. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 remains a mechanics check, decided by her W timing not levels. |
| First item | Fiora | First item Fiora's vitals and dueling items pull the trades her way. |
| Two+ items | Fiora | Two-plus items she out-scales you as a premier 1v1 duelist. |
You have the early edge but it's a skill check. Levels 1-2 your raw stats and Q silence beat her - step up, spin E, and use Q to cut her Lunge chase. The danger is her W Riposte: if she parries your Q you lose the trade and eat a stun, so bait the parry with an auto or E before you commit your silence.
