 Jax | Even | 166 | 49% | +3 | -97 | He is a classic counter, but you have many ways to outplay him. If he ever Qs onto you, you can land a guaranteed W and E. From there, you must kite in and out of the cage to avoid his damage while your ghouls attack him. Try to poke with Q when he is farming to bait out his E. | |
 Renekton | Even | 164 | 53% | -272 | +25 | He is one of the strongest early game champions with insane sustain and damage. After he uses his full combo, he is very vulnerable due to his long cooldowns. Try to bait him into using his combo, then go for an extended trade. Do not engage with a 4-grave setup; let him engage on you. Never fight him when he has full fury. | |
 Mordekaiser | Easy | 150 | 48% | +183 | +692 | Before level 6, it's a standard matchup; don't fight him directly and play for your 4-grave setup. His level 6 puts you at a massive disadvantage, as you lose your ghouls and Maiden. Always save your W for his Death Realm. The secret is to place your W between you and him so you can kite around it. | |
 Sion | Easy | 141 | 51% | -124 | +221 | He is a very tanky champion, but you have many ways to deal with him. You can use the side of your W to cancel his Q and his R. You also have percent health damage on your E and R, so you can shred him easily. Play for a 4-grave setup and look for a solo kill. | |
 DrMundo | Easy | 134 | 53% | +866 | +1562 | He has strong early game damage and tankiness but is quickly outscaled because you can easily kill tanks and he cannot escape your W. Do not get poked by his Q and E early; play for your 4-grave setup. Ignite is very effective in this matchup. An early Executioner's Calling is also crucial, as it negates a large part of his kit. | |
 Chogath | Easy | 125 | 48% | +207 | +492 | Focus on constantly dodging Chogath Q and W. You really want to look to all-in Chogath when you have 4 ghouls up and preferably with Maiden. Don't play for short trades and go all-in or else he will just sustain off ghouls. Watch out for Chogath trying to Eat Maiden and get ready to punish. | |
 Riven | Easy | 121 | 53% | +83 | +513 | This is a highly volatile skill matchup. Wait until she Qs towards you, and when she uses her third Q, land a point-blank E to set up your full combo. If she engages on you, play around your W; if she Q3s, box her in and kite her. If she Q3s out of your box, go inside it. | |
