| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sion | Sion's charged Decimating Smash (Q) crushes your level 1 trades. |
| Level 2 | Sion | At level 2 his Q burst and E shove keep denying your farm. |
| Level 3 | Sion | Level 3 Sion still out-trades your item-less kit with Q and shield. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sion | Levels 4-5 his charge poke and durability beat your early DPS. |
| Level 6 | Master Yi | At 6 your Highlander spike lets you out-DPS him before armor stacks. |
| First item | Master Yi | First item you still out-damage him in a clean duel before full tank. |
| Two+ items | Sion | At 2+ items his health stacking and second life outlast you. |
Sion owns the first four levels: a fully charged Decimating Smash (Q) knocks you up and nearly deletes your early trades, and Soul Furnace (W) shields him while Roar of the Slayer (E) shreds your armour and pushes you off the wave. Save Alpha Strike to dodge the swing.
