Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillBoth of you are weak escapeless melees at Level 1 with one ability - neither can commit, so trade autos and set up the wave.
Level 2Even / skillYour E wall-dash stun isn't up yet and her Q slow plus passive auto-stacking matches your early poke - it's a coin-flip skirmish until you have your full kit.
Level 3CamilleWith E, W and the empowered second Q online you wall-stun in, land the max-HP outer-edge slash, and burst a meleed Kayle once Divine Judgment is committed.
Levels 4-5CamilleYour ranked-up Q true-damage second hit out-trades her melee form - freeze near your side and run her down on her R cooldown.
Level 6CamilleHextech Ultimatum isolates her in an arena with no exit, and in melee form she has no answer - this is your hardest, cleanest all-in of the lane.
First itemCamilleYour bruiser/lethality item spike still threatens a dive and she's still melee until 11 - the window is closing toward ranged form, so force the kill now.
Two+ itemsKayleAt Level 11 Kayle's E gives ranged basic attacks; full ranged form kites your E, out-pokes your short range, and Divine Judgment negates your R - you lose this duel, so play safe and let your team deal with her.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Kayle is meleed and escapeless at Levels 1-2, but so are you with just Q, so the opening is a wash - last-hit at range and don't burn E chasing a fight you can't finish yet. Start Q (Precision Protocol) for the empowered second-hit poke, or W (Tactical Sweep) for the outer-edge slash and heal, and respect that her Q slow lets her stack passive autos on you if you walk up carelessly. Don't extend past your Adaptive Defense shield window - once that passive shield is on cooldown your raw HP falls behind her autos and Q pokes. Hold your real all-in for Level 3 when E is online.
