| Levels 4-5 | Jayce | At levels 4-5 Jayce's poke and hammer knockback control every trade. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Even Yone's 6 ult can be hammer-E'd away, keeping Jayce ahead. |

Jayce dominates levels 1-2 with cannon-form Shock Blast poke that outranges everything you have; Way of the Hunter can't crit what it can't reach. Give up a little CS, dodge Shock Blast behind minions, and never stand in an open lane.
