Read from K'Sante's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Jayce.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jayce | Jayce's Acceleration Gate empowered Q out-ranges your single Q and chips you before you can ever step up to combo. |
| Level 2 | Jayce | He picks up his full poke rotation while you only have Q-W; his ranged cannon stance dictates the lane and you just farm. |
| Level 3 | Jayce | With cannon Q plus E knockback he zones you off the wave and punishes any walk-in, owning the trade before your Q3 is online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Now your Q-W-E combo exists — you can W-charge through his poke and Q3 him, but only when his E is down, so the window is even. |
| Level 6 | K'Sante | All Out converts you to a duelist and W's charge cuts his burst damage; you dash through, knock him back, and peel him out of his spacing. |
| First item | Even / skill | Iceborn slow and your chase let you close the gap, but a fed Jayce can still kite a bad commit — it comes down to whether his E is up. |
| Two+ items | K'Sante | A poke Jayce can't burst a two-item control tank; your R duelist window and W's damage cut blunt his combo and you reclaim the 1v1. |
Jayce owns levels 1 through 3 outright — his Acceleration Gate empowered Q out-ranges everything I have, and with only Q online I can't walk it down to start my combo. Don't chase a single creep into his cannon-stance poke; soak the Q chip, last-hit at max Q range, and refuse to give him a free E-knockback into hammer burst. My W-charge only cuts the damage I take — it will not stop that knockback — so I just farm and keep my HP healthy for the windows later.
