Favour timeline — the windows in Camille's game plan

Read from Camille's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against K'Sante.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillNeither of you has an all-in at Level 1 — deny his last-hits and set up your level-2 spike instead of throwing a Q his W damage-reduction shrugs off.
Level 2CamilleYour second point and W slash-heal come online while his pre-item body is squishy — short-trade with the Q true-damage re-cast.
Level 3CamilleQ true damage plus W's outer-cone max-HP slash out-DPSes him before he stacks armor or two Ntofo Strikes for the shockwave pull.
Levels 4-5CamilleYou win every short trade here — bait his W-charge and Q first, then E-Q so your burst lands when his defensive tools are down.
Level 6CamilleHextech Ultimatum arenas him 1v1 where his R knock-back, peel and team utility are dead weight and your W melts his percent-HP bulk.
First itemEven / skillYour bruiser/lethality plus boots out-paces his half-finished tank build — dive on his W-charge and E-dash cooldowns now.
Two+ itemsCamilleHe out-scales hard: at two items All Out sheds his stance for a lifesteal fighter that survives your W and combo — pick safer targets and let your lead carry.

How to beat K'Sante as Camille: the early game

Level 1 is even-ish since neither of you has a real all-in, so last-hit and don't waste a Q he can walk through with Path Maker's damage reduction. From Level 2 you take over: short-trade with your Q re-cast for the true-damage second hit while your W outer-cone slash heals you off him. Ntofo Strikes is a 3.5s cooldown that shockwaves and PULLS you in at two stacks, so break contact after one. Bait Footwork (E, 10s) too — the shield on that dash is what eats your burst if you commit into it.
