| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | K'Sante | Your Ntofo Strikes poke and Path Maker stun dominate his level-1 approach and punish any step-up. |
| Level 2 | K'Sante | At 2 your W stun and durability win any extended trade he tries to force. |
| Level 3 | K'Sante | At 3 your full W-into-slow combo still outranges and out-CCs his Alpha Strike engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | By 4-5 it hinges on whether he has the attack speed to out-DPS your base resists — a skill window. |
| Level 6 | Master Yi | At 6 his Wuju true damage shreds your un-itemized tankiness, tilting fights to him. |
| First item | Master Yi | With his first attack-speed item online he out-duels your base durability before your armor arrives. |
| Two+ items | K'Sante | Two-plus items in, All Out's displacement and your stacked resistances out-scale and out-peel him. |
Start on the front foot: Ntofo Strikes poke and the Path Maker stun punish every approach he makes, and your durability wins any extended trade through level 3. By 4-5 it turns into a skill window — his building attack speed against your base resists — so keep trades short and keep the stun loaded.
