Read from Jayce's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Warwick.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jayce | Cannon Q out-ranges him at level 1 and he has no bite-heal or Blood Hunt speed yet, so gate-Q his step-ups for free. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Firing Shock Blast through the open Acceleration Gate gives it bonus range, speed and damage before his Q drain or Blood Hunt exist to answer it. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Your swap-shred burst is biggest now, but his early Q bite-heal starts refunding it, so the window is closing fast and the trade comes down to execution. |
| Levels 4-5 | Warwick | Primal Howl's damage reduction and fear break your combo, his max-health Q bite heals him back, so trades stop netting you value. |
| Level 6 | Warwick | Infinite Duress leaps in for an unstoppable suppress you cannot knock off mid-channel, and with no defensive stats one R is a death sentence. |
| First item | Warwick | His first sustain item plus drain DPS out-heals your combo burst, and you have no armor to survive the all-in his R sets up. |
| Two+ items | Warwick | By two items his drain and Blood Hunt detection stat-check your squishy frame and chase you down across the map. |
Levels 1-2 are the entire matchup for you: take Cannon Q and gate-Q (Shock Blast fired through Acceleration Gate) his last-hits before he has his Q bite-heal or Blood Hunt online, and bank a health lead while it is cheap. The trap is that poke is double-edged here. Blood Hunt (his W) detects and speeds him toward anyone under 50% HP, so the second your own bar dips from minion aggro or a trade he gets the speed to walk you down. Take the free harass, but never grind a long trade his Q can heal back.

Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Eclipse (poke + dive burst) first, then Serylda's Grudge, with Plated Steelcaps.
