Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillYou're a single-target mage with no escape at level 1 and she's a passive farm-tank who won't fight — neither side wants to commit, so the opener is a wash.
Level 2AuroraWith Q out-and-back plus E online you start a poke war Sejuani has no ranged tool to answer, and your passive heals the chip her autos trade back.
Level 3AuroraYour Q recast and E slow out-chip a melee tank kit, and as long as you space her autos her Frost stacks expire before her E can stun.
Levels 4-5AuroraLevels 4-5 your poke, passive healing, and W cooldown all line up — you control every trade and her only counterplay is a stun you can blink away.
Level 6AuroraBetween Worlds makes you untargetable outside the rift and your W resets on the takedown, so even a perfect Glacial Prison whiffs against your spirit form.
First itemAuroraLuden's or Malignance sharpens your Q recast into real kill pressure while she's still building resists and can't trade the poke back.
Two+ itemsEven / skillShe never out-DPSes you 1v1 as a tank, but her armor stacks up and her R becomes a teamfight engine — the lane is yours, the late map is a coin-flip.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Sejuani has no ranged tool at levels 2-3, so your Q (Twofold Hex) out-and-back chips her for free while she can only answer with autos. Spirit Abjuration heals back whatever her Frost-stacking autos chip off you, so you win the war of attrition as long as you stay spaced. The one thing that flips it is her E stun: she stacks Frost on you with autos and then her E locks you, so poke from outside her auto range, don't walk into her stacks, and keep W (Across the Veil) ready to break the setup. Stay disciplined and she literally cannot win the level-1-to-3 exchange.
