Read from Heimerdinger's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Warwick.
This is Heimerdinger's own plan; across 260 pooled games the lane is Heimerdinger-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | You have one turret and no stun at Level 1, and Blood Hunt speed closes the gap while Jaws of the Beast heals off your low HP — his best window. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Second turret charge and slowing beams start fencing the wave, but he still out-sustains a straight trade, so it's even. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | A third turret plus the beams begin zoning him off CS and XP — he can't drain what he can't reach. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | A full nest plus CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade makes any walk-in suicidal — the direct hit stuns and three turrets out-DPS him. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Infinite Duress leaps and suppresses you for 1.5s, and you have no dash — his ult cancels your zone, so it comes down to your grenade. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | Liandry's/Rylai's plus a complete nest makes you the sieger he physically can't reach through the beam wall. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | A drain bruiser can't out-stat the turret economy — you keep zoning and sieging while his only path in is a stunned death. |
Level 1 is his — you have one turret and no stun, and if you step up Blood Hunt move speed walks you down while Jaws of the Beast heals harder the lower you drop, so concede the contact window and last-hit from max range. By Level 3 you have banked a second turret charge and the slowing beams start fencing him off the wave. Don't sit low early: Eternal Hunger triples its healing under 25% HP, so one walk-down resets him.
