| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Level 1-2 favors you against the game's weakest early laner. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 reads even with both kits barely online. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 your W-speed engage runs down immobile Kayle. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even as she trades E poke for your heal. |
| Level 6 | Kayle | At 6 Divine Judgment invulnerability blanks your all-in. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even as neither champion spikes in that window. |
| Two+ items | Kayle | Late, ranged kiting and R invulnerability make Kayle unkillable. |
Level 1-2 you crush her: Kayle is one of the weakest early laners in the game, and your bite plus base stats let you walk her down and deny farm.
