Read from Locke's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ornn.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ornn | Level 1 Ornn's tankiness shrugs your poke, favouring him. |
| Level 2 | Ornn | Level 2 his base bulk and Brittle from W keep the lane his. |
| Level 3 | Ornn | Q pillar into a Searing Charge knockup is his level-3 trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ornn | Levels 4-5 his shield uptime and CC keep you zoned. |
| Level 6 | Ornn | Level 6 Call of the Forge God catches your dashes, strongly his. |
| First item | Ornn | First item free-upgrades and tankiness blunt your burst. |
| Two+ items | Ornn | Late, unkillable Ornn out-scales and CC-locks your assassin pattern. |
L1-2 favours Ornn: Bellows Breath (W) makes you Brittle on its final gout and his base tankiness means your Silver Stake (P) missing-HP chip barely registers while he zones you off CS.
