Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillYou both have weak level 1s — one ability, no all-in, and his Q-jump trades range with you, so just farm and set up.
Level 2CamilleYour second point gives you the empowered-Q true-damage recast plus W; you out-trade his single-target Q before his Counter Strike matters.
Level 3CamilleWith Q, W and E up you burst him in a short trade — engage when his E Counter Strike is down, and remember W lands through it even if he dodges your autos.
Levels 4-5CamilleYour W max-HP slice and self-heal out-sustain his Q poke; keep trading in bursts and E-out before his E stun lands.
Level 6Even / skillR locks him in the arena so he cannot disengage or Q-hop away, and the true-damage recast wins the isolated 1v1 before his R stats matter.
First itemEven / skillRoughly even — your first-item bruiser spike still trades, but his Trinity Force is online and his stacking attack speed starts hurting.
Two+ itemsJaxJax out-scales you: Trinity Force on-hit, stacking passive attack speed and Grandmaster's Might's defensive stats win every long fight — isolate carries, don't duel him.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is a wash — you have one ability and no all-in, and his Q-jump matches your range, so just farm. The lane opens up at 2-3: your empowered-Q double-tap with the true-damage recast plus a point in W out-bursts his single-target Q before Counter Strike is a real threat. The one rule that decides this lane early is his E — never dump your autos and Q into a raised Counter Strike, because it dodges them for up to 2s then stuns you. Your W is a skillshot and still lands through it, so chip with W while E is up, or force him to waste it, then commit the full combo.
