Veigar has no mobility and struggles to avoid Bone Skewer (Q)'s pull into Phantom Undertow (E)'s stun. Ghostwater Dive (W) lets Pyke approach around Event Horizon (E) before finishing with Death From Below (R).

Once Light Binding (Q) is down, immobile Lux struggles to avoid Bone Skewer (Q) into Phantom Undertow (E). Ghostwater Dive (W) creates unseen approach angles and sets up Death From Below (R)'s execute threshold.

Twisted Fate's movement is predictable while he prepares a Gold Card. Pyke can use Ghostwater Dive (W) to approach around Wild Cards (Q), pull with Bone Skewer (Q), then look for Death From Below (R) after Phantom Undertow (E)'s stun.

Ring of Frost (W)'s root and Frozen Tomb (R)'s targeted stun immediately stop Phantom Undertow (E)'s engage. A self-cast Frozen Tomb also enters stasis and can avoid Death From Below (R)'s timing.

Shield of Durand (W)'s taunt catches Phantom Undertow (E)'s engage, while Galio's durability makes Death From Below (R)'s execute threshold difficult to reach. Justice Punch (E) also pressures Pyke's Ghostwater Dive (W) escape path.

Granite Shield (P) and high armor make it difficult for Pyke to reach Death From Below (R)'s execute threshold. Unstoppable Force (R)'s knock-up locks the engage before Ghostwater Dive (W) can camouflage him.
