| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|

| Level 2 | Sett | Level 2 evens out once Q double-punch punishes his walk-ups. |
| Level 3 | Sett | Level 3 your Facebreaker burst punishes his keg setups. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Levels 4-5 you keep him off barrels and out-tempo his poke. |
| Level 6 | Sett | Level 6 your R commits him — Remove Scurvy cannot break it. |
| First item | Sett | First item you still deny his barrels and out-sustain on Grit. |
| Two+ items | Gangplank | 2+ items flips to Gangplank as crit barrel chains out-range and burst you. |
Level 1 is his — Parrrley chips you from 625 range for free, so hold the wave near you and farm. From 2 your Q double-punch punishes every walk-up he makes to plant a keg.
