| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — no shroud yet, but her Q range offsets your stronger body. |
| Level 2 | Akali | Level 2 favours Akali as her Q poke and passive start chunking you. |
| Level 3 | Akali | Level 3 stays hers once shroud gives sustain and dodge for your combo. |
| Levels 4-5 | Volibear | Levels 4-5 tilt to you — your basics come online and you can walk her down when her Q is down. |
| Level 6 | Akali | Level 6 favours Akali: her R burst can kill you before your W ramps. |
| First item | Akali | First item stays hers as her assassin spike outpaces your bruiser build. |
| Two+ items | Volibear | Two-plus items favour you — your R sustain shrinks her burst window and one flip ends her. |
Level 1 is a coin-flip — she has no shroud yet and you can body her, but her Q out-ranges your reach. Play for CS and stack your passive; don't over-extend into a Q you can't punish.
