| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jayce | Level 1-2 favors you as Jayce must go melee to contest CS. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even before both champs have their kits online. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is skill — catch him in Hammer form and the trade is yours. |
| Levels 4-5 | Warwick | Levels 4-5 turn — Primal Howl's fear breaks the cannon-form combo. |
| Level 6 | Warwick | At 6 your R suppress ignores his knockback and speed for a kill. |
| First item | Warwick | At first item you hold — his poke drops you under 50%, where you heal. |
| Two+ items | Warwick | Late you hold — Jaws of the Beast scales off the health he stacks. |
Level 1-2 belongs to Jayce: Shock Blast reaches 600 against your 365 lunge, and Hextech Capacitor gives him Move Speed on every weapon swap. Farm it out.
