| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Your Eternal Hunger sustain trades evenly with his early Ntofo poke at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is a coin-flip before either of you has a full kit online. |
| Level 3 | Warwick | At level 3 your Q heal and Blood Hunt let you win extended trades against his charges. |
| Levels 4-5 | Warwick | Through levels 4-5 you out-sustain his Ntofo Strikes poke and can burst him. |
| Level 6 | Warwick | At 6 Infinite Duress is a 1.5s leap-suppress; he baits it with Path Maker. |
| First item | K'Sante | Once he finishes a tank item his All Out knocks you off and true-damage shreds you. |
| Two+ items | K'Sante | Past two items, All Out's dropped defenses let your %max-health bite kill him. |
Levels 1-2 you're even-to-ahead: your Eternal Hunger sustain absorbs Ntofo Strikes poke, but K'Sante's early Ntofo pull can catch you if you facecheck the wave, so respect his charge count.
