Read from Camille's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Zaahen.
This is Camille's own plan; across 1,200 pooled games the lane is leaning Zaahen.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — both of you farm with nothing online and no combo worth forcing. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays even: matched Q trades with no clear favourite, so keep it to short honest exchanges. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even — Hookshot opens trades but a 10s Darkin Glaive into Aureate Rush answers straight back for free. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay a skill window: he punishes overextension, you punish every whiffed cooldown. Discipline decides each trade. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 it's still even — The Hextech Ultimatum isolates him, but Grim Deliverance heals him back and full Determination revives him. |
| First item | Camille | First item is Camille's: the Trinity spike and true damage tip extended duels your way. Start taking the long fight. |
| Two+ items | Camille | Two-plus items are yours — split-push Camille out-duels him 1v1, so plant your flag in the sidelane and make him answer it. |
A genuinely even bruiser lane through 1-5: matched Q trades at 2, and at 3 Hookshot lands but The Darkin Glaive into Aureate Rush answers it back. Both are 10s to your 16s, so he is never out of cooldowns. He punishes overextension; you punish a whiffed 14s Dreaded Return. Keep trades short — Cultivation of War banks Determination off every hit he lands.
