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

| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | At level 2 his added turret and poke keep you pinned behind the wave. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | Through level 3 his full turret zone still out-ranges and out-pokes you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Level 4 is a skill check — landing your E through the turrets swings it. |
| Level 6 | Sett | Your level-5 window lets your E-W burst punish his squishiness. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | With his first item his upgraded turrets and poke zone you out again. |
| Two+ items | Sett | Late game your R and items flip past the turret wall to burst a squishy Heimer. |
