| Stage | Favoured | Why |

| Level 3 | Akshan | Level 3 favours Akshan once Heroic Swing lets him kite. |
| Levels 4-5 | Akshan | Levels 4-5 stay his with swing-and-poke out-trading you. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 base evens as both unlock their ultimates. |
| First item | Locke | Locke favoured — R Purgatory executes before he can swing away. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late evens out with his slipperiness against your burst. |
Levels 1-2 favour Akshan — his Q Avengerang double-hits and out-ranges every tool you have, so you eat poke while last-hitting and can't trade back without a clean gap-close.
