| Stage | Favoured | Why |

| Level 3 | Sett | Level 3 your stun-into-W trades out-brawl her before she resets. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Levels 4-5 you keep her pinned in minions and out-sustain with Grit. |
| Level 6 | Sett | At 6 you hold the edge by saving R to suppress her R re-engage. |
| First item | Sett | First item you still win short trades where she can't dash out. |
| Two+ items | Ambessa | By 2+ items Ambessa's mobility and R re-engage kite your engage and out-DPS you. |
Level 1 Ambessa edges you -- her dashes and early damage let her control the trade before you have E. Play safe, soak with P Pit Grit, and don't get chained by her mobility.
