The jungle race — the windows in Evelynn's plan

Read from Evelynn's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Fiddlesticks.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearEven SkirmishEffigy bluffs and Bountiful Harvest keep their clear healthy, and that is worth exactly what you bring: pre-stealth Evelynn is the weakest level-1 champion in the jungle — farm hidden. Contest your opening camps when your health bar is the higher one and not before.
Level 2 SkirmishEven SkirmishEven on the second camp, for a concrete reason — Terrify plus the Harvest drain only trades okay if they fully commit into them, while keep clearing cross-map; every avoided fight is a won fight right now. Interrupt the W drain with any damage and he crumbles — the easiest early invade target, and let the camp timers choose the fight for you.
Level 3 RouteEven SkirmishDead-even at the opening scuttle: survive to six — Demon Shade camouflage flips this entire matchup later, while effigy bluffs and Bountiful Harvest keep their clear healthy. Whoever arrives with more HP and cooldowns wins, so track their clear and pick the moment.
Levels 4-5 MacroEvelynn Favoured — Take DuelsThe 4-5 window is yours if you pick it: he farms 4-5 for Crowstorm, and the effigy is worth more as fake vision than as a fight. Track that pattern, arrive one camp early, and take the fight before the follow-up shows.
Level 6 BreakpointDemon Shade FavouredDemon Shade camouflage means you choose every post-6 fight — and they cannot. Fiddlesticks's six is not empty — a Crowstorm from unwarded fog erases half your HP before you can turn. Take the duel from even health rather than from behind, and deep wards beat him completely — the channel needs unseen seconds to land.
First Item SpikeLich Bane / Stormsurge SpikeCompleting your core AP component turns your stealth lane transitions into lethal, instant-delete sequences against any squishy target configuration. Your camp clearing velocities become completely automated, letting you clean up sides in seconds before melting down lonely targets inside the river lanes. Use this spike to force immense tracking panic across their entire map space. Fiddlesticks' first item turns the drain and the fear into a real health bar of damage rather than a delay.
2+ Items ScalingEven Scaling — Prep DecidesEven at full build. Since a Crowstorm from fog ends a whole fight before anyone turns to face it, win the vision around the pit first and the fight second.
