| Stage | Favoured | Why |

| Level 2 | Warwick | Level 2 favors Warwick: Jaws of the Beast sustain and Blood Hunt speed let him win trades. |
| Level 3 | Warwick | Level 3 stays his as Q lifesteal and W chase punish you once you drop low. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even back out as your Q poke and E burst punish him before he ramps. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even/skill — his Infinite Duress suppress versus your R stat-steal all-in is a coin-flip. |
| First item | Warwick | On his first item Warwick's lifesteal and on-hit healing make him the stronger sustained bruiser. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two items in it settles to even as your Q resets and empowered E burst match his sustain in a skill-decided duel. |
Level 1 is even, but from level 2 Warwick tips ahead — Jaws of the Beast heals him through trades and Blood Hunt's speed lets him stick to you, so keep your HP up and don't hand him a Blood Hunt trigger by trading recklessly.
