| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even: his ranged Q and passive trade against your stronger base kit. |

| Two+ items | Urgot | Late your HP and R execute win any fight he chooses to take. |
Level 1 is genuinely skill-dependent: Akshan out-ranges you with Q and his passive double-proc, so if you facecheck badly he chips you, but if you dodge the Avengerang and farm safely it's even.
