| Stage | Favoured | Why |

| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 your Q slow answers her before the dash chain comes online. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 her W-dash Q-chain out-trades and sticks to you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 her mobility and burst keep the edge hers. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 5-6 your base bulk and the R threshold pull it back. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item her reset combo spikes harder than your build. |
| Two+ items | Ambessa | Late your HP, R execute and shred beat her once dashes are down. |
Level 1 is a skill lane: neither of you has a combo, so it comes down to auto-spacing and who wins the first passive proc; play it even and farm.
