| Level 3 | Volibear | Level 3 is a race: your all-in versus her Celestial Blessing heal. |
| Levels 4-5 | Volibear | Levels 4-5 even out as her Radiant Blast shred starts to bite. |
| Level 6 | Volibear | Level 6 Divine Judgment makes her invulnerable through your dive. |
| First item | Volibear | At first item her scaling arrives and your kill window closes. |
| Two+ items | Kayle | With two items Kayle's ranged E DPS and R invuln take over the fight. |
