| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|

| Level 2 | Wukong | Level 2 stays yours as E-Q chunks him with no answer. |
| Level 3 | Wukong | Level 3 is skill as his Null Sphere shield lets him soak some trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are skill — you're still ahead but his level 6 looms. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is Kassadin's the moment Riftwalk dodges your all-in. |
| First item | Wukong | First item is Kassadin's as RoA/Seraph's fuels his burst and mobility. |
| Two+ items | Kassadin | 2+ items is Kassadin's — he out-scales you into an unkillable assassin. |
Levels 1-2 are firmly yours: Kassadin is a melee mage with no waveclear or escape, so E-Q trade him down and start building the CS/health lead you'll need.
