Favour timeline — the windows in Camille's game plan

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

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillComet Spear out-ranges your Precision Protocol at level 1 and Aegis Assault blocks damage from the front — you have no safe step-up tool yet.
Level 2PantheonHe spikes harder at 2-3 — his W stun is point-click and shuts down any all-in before your E grapple or shield can matter.
Level 3PantheonShield Vault cancels your E mid-grapple, so every short trade hands him a free empowered Q while your Adaptive Defenses gets tapped off.
Levels 4-5Even / skillPre-6 you still have no answer to point-click stun plus ranged poke — he wins every trade he opens on his W timer.
Level 6Even / skillHextech Ultimatum (R) traps him so his W stun can't peel and his Q poke can't kite — you W-slash his HP and own this all-in window.
First itemPantheonHis Comet Spear poke and your first-item bruiser spike roughly cancel — fight only when his W is down, or it's a coin-flip.
Two+ itemsCamillePantheon falls off into items while your Q true-damage re-hit, W max-HP slash, and E pick potential scale — you out-duel and out-skirmish him at full build.

How to beat Pantheon as Camille: the early game

Pantheon owns this. Comet Spear (Q, 11s) out-ranges your Precision Protocol and Aegis Assault blocks damage from the FRONT, so don't walk up to last-hit and eat a poke spear for free. Hold your Adaptive Defenses shield — he'll bait it with a Q tap, so let small pokes through and save it for the trade that matters. Do not E in before Level 6: Shield Vault (W, 13s) stuns you out of the grapple and gifts him an empowered Q. Farm at range and stay above his all-in threshold.
