Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1CamilleAatrox with one Q swing has no knockup chain and no heal pressure — your empowered Q plus a baited Adaptive Defense shield wins the level-1 poke clean.
Level 2AatroxHis second Q point gives him the sweetspot-plus-Infernal-Chains threat to chain knockups and re-tether you into a long trade your two-hit Q burst cannot out-sustain.
Level 3AatroxWith both Q and Infernal Chains ranked, his sweetspot damage plus heal-on-hit out-trades you in any extended exchange you can't immediately E out of.
Levels 4-5AatroxHis Q rank-ups widen the sweetspot windup and his drain ramps, so he out-sustains your true-damage Q recast in a stand-up fight.
Level 6AatroxWorld Ender's bonus AD, heal amplification, and revive mean your R isolation just locks you into the 1v1 his ult is built to win.
First itemAatroxHis drain-tank item spike out-sustains your first-item burst, so forcing all-ins here plays into the exact extended fight he wants.
Two+ itemsCamilleYour Stridebreaker/Trinity plus Tactical Sweep's max-HP edge lets you E-dodge his slow Q sweetspots and delete him before his drain ramps — your reclaim window.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is the one stage you clearly own — Aatrox with a single Q swing has no heal pressure, so walk up, land your empowered Q so Adaptive Defense shields his return swing, and take the free chip. The moment he ranks his second Q point it flips: don't sit in his Q sweetspots, because three knockups plus an Infernal Chains re-tether lock you into exactly the drawn-out trade his heal-on-hit passive is built to win. Last-hit at range, hold E for safety, and refuse the extended fight he wants.
