| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Warwick's passive lifesteal and W-heal out-sustain your L1 poke. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At L2 it evens to a skill trade before your E can pin him. |
| Level 3 | Illaoi | At L3 a tethered Warwick loses the W-into-tentacle trade to you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Illaoi | Levels 4 stays yours as his W-heal can't cover a full tentacle proc. |
| Level 6 | Warwick | Infinite Duress suppress lets him engage or deny your all-in at 5-6. |
| First item | Illaoi | With your first item tentacle damage on a tether out-trades him again. |
| Two+ items | Illaoi | Late game your tentacle field punishes his R-dives, edging it to you. |
Warwick edges L1: his passive lifesteal below-HP sustain and Jaws of the Beast (W) heal shrug your early Q poke. L2 evens out to a skill trade as you get your second ability, but you still can't pin him without E.
