Ballistic annihilation is an interacting system in which particles placed throughout the real line move at preassigned velocities and annihilate upon colliding. The longstanding conjecture that in the symmetric three-velocity setting there exists a phase transition for the survival of middle-velocity particles was recently resolved by Haslegrave, Sidoravicius, and Tournier. We develop a framework based on a mass transport principle to analyze three-velocity ballistic annihilation with asymmetric velocities assigned according to an asymmetric probability measure. We show the existence of a phase transition in all cases by deriving universal bounds. In particular, all middle-speed particles perish almost surely if their initial density is less than 1/5, regardless of the velocities, relative densities, and spacing of initial particles. We additionally prove the continuity of several fundamental statistics as the probability measure is varied.
