Read from K'Sante's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Warwick.
This is K'Sante's own plan; across 586 pooled games the lane is leaning K'Sante.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Warwick has no engage at Level 1 and you have only Q — both of you just farm, so this is a genuine wash neither owns. |
| Level 2 | K'Sante | You pick up W or E and become safer while his W only grants move speed, giving you the cleaner level-2 trade. |
| Level 3 | K'Sante | Your Q-W lands — W into terrain for the stun, then the Ntofo pull — and you burst him before Jaws of the Beast heals it back. |
| Levels 4-5 | K'Sante | Your tank lane-control peak: you out-trade around his Q cooldown and his burst-less W can't punish your bulk. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 Infinite Duress suppresses you for 1.5s through everything, but it is 110s at rank 1 — bait it and the all-in is yours. |
| First item | Even / skill | His first drain-tank item restores his sustain just as your first tank piece comes online — neither pulls clearly ahead. |
| Two+ items | Warwick | Warwick out-scales you: Eternal Hunger triples its healing under 25% and Jaws is percent max health, so armour lies. |
Warwick is a non-threat at Level 1 — his early is Jaws of the Beast last-hits and he has no engage, so poke at the tip of Q and set up your lane. It flips your way at Level 3 when Q-W comes online: W him into the wall for the longer stun, then pull him back in with the 2-stack Ntofo. The key is timing — burst the trade fast, because if it drags, Jaws' heal and Eternal Hunger claw the HP straight back.
