Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillLevel 1 neither of you has a real combo — Warwick needs his Q and you need your E, so the first wave is mutual farm and positioning.
Level 2RenektonLevel 2 your E-W pattern comes online before Warwick has any suppression answer — this is your cleanest kill window of the entire lane.
Level 3RenektonWith all three abilities you run E-in, empowered W stun, Q-heal, E-out and Warwick has no tool to interrupt that sequence yet.
Levels 4-5Even / skillLevels 4-5 Warwick's R is getting closer; trade only when Infinite Duress is visibly on cooldown or you risk a suppression mid-combo.
Level 6Even / skillLevel 6 Dominus accelerates Fury so fast you can threaten back-to-back empowered Ws, but Warwick's R suppression is now live — bait it before committing.
First itemRenektonSundered Sky into Stride Breaker gives you a burst cycle that outraces Warwick's drain sustain if Grievous Wounds is active.
Two+ itemsEven / skillTwo items in, Warwick's Q healing and passive hyperhealing are at full strength — respect the drain, play short trades, and don't chase a fleeing Warwick below 50% HP.

Early game (levels 1–5)

At level 1 you have no dash and no trading pattern yet, so play the same as Warwick — last-hit, avoid unnecessary autos, and watch how he contests. The moment you hit level 2 the dynamic flips: E onto him, auto, empowered W 3-hit stun, Q-heal, and E back out. He cannot respond to the stun with any ability, and his Q drain heal is completely offline during those 1.5 seconds. The key is arriving at level 2 with 50+ Fury already banked from wave autos so the empowered W is ready the instant you dash in.
