Read from Camille's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Jayce.
This is Camille's own plan; across 750 pooled games the lane is leaning Camille.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jayce | Jayce's cannon Q through the Acceleration Gate chunks you and you have only one ability and no gap-close — concede CS and take the poke. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | You get a second point but he can still gate-poke from outside your range — even window, so only fight on a whiffed cannon. |
| Level 3 | Jayce | E plus Q's recast true-damage hit lets you close and out-trade his poke for the first time — engage when his hammer-E knockback is down. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Your short-trade burst with W's slow plus the passive shield keeps you on him; bait the knockback and his poke can't sustain the all-in. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Hextech Ultimatum traps him in the arena — no gate, no knockback, no kiting — so the isolated 1v1 and the W-heal are yours. |
| First item | Jayce | Your Eclipse/bruiser item plus boots out-paces his combo reset — E-in, W-slow, Q-recast and force the all-in now. |
| Two+ items | Jayce | A fed Jayce reclaims poke range and uses hammer-E to peel you in fights — it's even-skill, so isolate him with R before he pings you down rather than dueling at distance. |
Level 1 belongs to Jayce — his cannon Q fired through the Acceleration Gate hits like a truck and you have one ability and no all-in tool, so don't walk into the gate trying to CS. Take last-hits at max range and respect the poke. Level 2 is closer with a second point, but your real window is Level 3: with E and Q's recast true-damage hit you can finally punish him. Bait or eat his hammer-stance E knockback first — if he reads your E dash he'll bump you out of range and gate-poke you for free, so commit when that knockback is on cooldown and let your passive shield soak his cannon hit.

Camille, slightly — a 52% win rate edge over 750 games; execution can flip it.
