Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1MalphiteLevel 1 is Malphite's — his Q slow-poke and passive shield plus Thunderclap auto out-prod your single ability, and his innate armor already blunts your physical trades.
Level 2CamilleAt 2-3 your Q re-cast true damage and W's percent-HP outer edge come online — those out-trade his single Q poke and partly bypass his armor.
Level 3CamilleLevels 2-3 are your cleanest window: Q true-damage burst plus W's heal off him out-duel his Q poke before his armor stack matters.
Levels 4-5Even / skillIt evens out — his Q poke and stacking armor start blunting your physical W and autos, so neither side can freely commit and the trade lead narrows.
Level 6CamilleAt 6 your R isolates him for unreducible magic damage and you win the clean 1v1 — the part of your kit his armor can't touch tips this window your way.
First itemEven / skillEven spike: your bruiser/lethality items pressure his squishier moments, but he answers by stacking armor and holding his unstoppable R for the all-in.
Two+ itemsEven / skillNeither pulls ahead late: your true-damage Q and magic-damage R stay relevant into his armor, but his unstoppable R flank cancels your E mobility in every fight.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 belongs to Malphite — his Q slow-poke and passive shield plus Thunderclap auto out-prod your single ability, so don't walk up for a last-hit you'll pay for. The lane flips fast: at 2 with a point in W, and at 3 with Q's re-cast online, you out-trade him. His stacking armor blunts your physical Q hit, W edge, and autos, so the part that hurts him is Q's bonus true damage and W's percent-HP chunk plus the heal off him. Bait his passive shield with an auto, then W-Q-Q and step out before his Thunderclap auto and Q slow catch you.
