| Matchup | Threat | Games | WR | Gold @ 15 | Gold Diff | Tips | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Garen | Not Favored | 267 | 51% | +345 | -194 | He typically struggles in extended trades if he takes Phase Rush. You should save your second E to re-engage after he has proced it and is running away. Try to zone him from CS early by holding or using your Q when he walks up. Avoid standing directly on top of him during his E. His W is his strongest defensive tool; try to bait it out with a short trade before committing to a full all-in. | |

 Aatrox | Easy | 254 | 55% | +236 | +705 | Hard win levels 1-3. Use your e to dodge the sweet spots of his q and stick onto him. If you land everything and stick onto him he can't do anything. Do not get poked down by his q's before you engage onto him. | |
 Darius | Very Hard | 254 | 53% | +89 | -177 | Don't get frozen on. Use your q on him to poke him down and get good auto takes. Take short trades and e out if he wants to extend the fight. You have strong all in with both dismount and remount. If he dismounts you with 5 stacks its unlikely you will win. | |
 Zaahen | Easy | 251 | 51% | +633 | +752 | ||
 Ornn | Easy | 248 | 50% | +613 | +1,835 | You must dodge his W, especially the final proc that applies Brittle. You can sidestep it or use your E. If your E is already on him, the bonus movement speed is very useful for dodging his abilities. When chasing him, walk slightly in front of him to prevent your Q tether from breaking when he tries to E away. | |
 Jax | Easy | 236 | 55% | +469 | +622 | This is a very difficult matchup, and the pre-6 phase is the most important. You can win level 1 trades with Bone Plating if you land your Q. His E has a long cooldown early (17 seconds), and you must abuse this window. If he jumps on you with his E active, you can E away. Be patient, as some players will try to bait your abilities by just pressing E without jumping. | |
 Mordekaiser | Easy | 213 | 55% | +332 | +649 | He plays like an AP Darius but is tankier due to his W. Do not take free Qs; bait it out by weaving in and out of his range. He excels in extended trades with his passive, but his W has a long cooldown, so frequent short trades are your key to success. You can use your E to dash through his Q or E. | |
