Read from Ambessa's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Camille.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Camille walks up and procs her Q second-hit true damage while your single ability and energy-gated cooldowns leave you with no answer at Level 1. |
| Level 2 | Camille | Her Q-W poke and W heal out-trade you at Level 2 when your cooldowns are still long and you can't force an extended fight she'd lose. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens out — your outer-edge Q into Sundering Slam plus Lacerate's slow can punish a missed E hookshot, but it still threatens to cancel your dash chains. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are your weakest window with your longest cooldowns, and her Q-W sustain simply out-trades you here. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 your Public Execution blink-suppress-stun guarantees the gap-close and flips a trade while her E hookshot is down — your one stage to threaten a kill. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your Eclipse and Level 9 Q-max let Q1-empowered-auto-Q2 finally chunk her, but her W true-damage heal keeps the window even, not yours. |
| Two+ items | Camille | At 2+ items Camille's R walls you into an isolated 1v1 her Q-W true damage, resists and E wall-mobility win as a hard scaler. |
Her E hookshot is the whole early game — it stuns you and cancels your Drakehound's Step dash chains, so never throw a Q cone when you're inside its range with nothing to follow up. At Levels 1-2 you have one ability and brutally long cooldowns while she walks up and procs her Q second-hit true damage on you, so concede the CS and dodge her empowered Q auto rather than trying to trade. Bait her E onto a minion or a wall-dash, then look to land your outer-edge Q sweetspot into Sundering Slam and slap Lacerate's near-total slow on so she can't reposition off terrain.
