Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1RenektonHis fury-empowered W (Ruthless Predator) is an extended point-blank stun and his Q heals his trades — at level 1 with your W not yet a reliable escape, you lose any melee fight.
Level 2AuroraYour Q out-and-recast plus E-hop poke chips faster than his fury combo, and Spirit Abjuration heals it back while he has no ranged answer — start the poke war here.
Level 3AuroraHis fury bar empties after one combo and he must walk back into your Q range to refill — punish the gaps with recast burst and a free E-hop out.
Levels 4-5AuroraYour Q cooldown, three-stack passive healing and W reset line up — bait his E dash, then out-trade his point-blank combo from range.
Level 6AuroraBetween Worlds slows his all-in and your spirit-mode wall-walk plus W blink dodge his W-Q, and W resets on the takedown — you own this window.
First itemAuroraLuden's/Malignance sharpens your Q-recast burst right as his fury combo falls off and his base damage flatlines — force every all-in here.
Two+ itemsAuroraHe has no late threat once his early kit stops one-shotting — your scaling burst out-damages him and your R/W mobility mean he can never catch you committed; just close it out.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-2 belong to him: a fury-empowered W (Ruthless Predator) is an extended point-blank stun and his Q (Cull the Meek) heals him through your chip, so do not walk into melee to throw a Q he can stun you out of. Last-hit at max Q range, keep your W (Across the Veil) up for his E dash, and concede a little CS rather than eat the stun. The moment you hit 3 it flips — your Q out-and-recast plus E-hop poke chips faster than his fury combo can answer, and Spirit Abjuration heals the trade back.
