| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens out as you shove and space his engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even until your ghoul DPS starts to out-scale his sustain. |
| Level 6 | Yorick | At 5/6 Yorick out-DPSes him with ghouls and can pre-cage his R. |

Warwick wins levels 1-2: his Jaws of the Beast (Q) heals him through your trades, Blood Hunt (W) speeds him at you the moment you fall under 50% health, and his sustain out-lasts your early Q Last Rites pokes. Farm patiently, soak damage on ghouls from Shepherd of Souls, and don't dip under that 50% line while he holds W.
