Level 2Even / skillYour level-2 double-bomb and her level-2 poke roughly cancel, leaving it even.
Level 3Even / skillNeither spikes hard at 3; it's still a symmetric skillshot poke trade.
Levels 4-5Even / skillAt 4-5 your burst and her sustain stay balanced, so it comes down to dodging.
Level 6Even / skillChronoshift and Encore are mirror-value ult windows, keeping level 6 even.
First itemEven / skillFirst-item power spikes arrive together, so the poke lead is skill-decided.
Two+ itemsEven / skillTwo AoE enablers scale in parallel, so late fights hinge on execution not the matchup.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Even lane at 1-2: both of you are immobile spellcasters trading skillshots, so the level-2 timing decides the first window. If you get W before she gets her shield, a Q-Rewind-Q stun into your ADC's follow-up is a real kill; if she spaces well and echoes Q pokes, she chips you instead.
