| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Warwick's Q healing and ramping lifesteal out-trade you from level 1. |
| Level 2 | Warwick | At 2 his sustain still beats your Meditate in any exchange. |
| Level 3 | Warwick | Level 3 his W run-down and healing keep the trades his. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Level 4 reads even as you both look for a window. |
| Level 6 | Warwick | His level 6 Infinite Duress suppress makes any commit a likely death. |
| First item | Even / skill | Level 6 into first item stays his — a landed R still kills you. |
| Two+ items | Master Yi | Late your true-damage shred out-heals-races him and wins the duel. |
Warwick beats you 1-3: Jaws of the Beast (Q) heals him for a large share of the damage, his passive lifesteal ramps as you drop, and Primal Howl (W) lets him run you down. Any drawn-out trade snowballs his sustain past your Meditate, so keep exchanges short or skip them, farm at range, and don't feed his healing.
