Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillLillia pokes with passive DOT and Blooming Blast while you have one ability ranked, so level 1 is even chip — last-hit and dodge her telegraphed Q.
Level 2CassiopeiaWith Q-into-E you prime and refund-chain Twin Fang; her DOT and Blooming Blast chip can't trade with your ramping single-target nuke.
Level 3CassiopeiaYour first Miasma's slow and grounding strip the move-speed kite she relies on, pinning her in your poison for a free trade.
Levels 4-5CassiopeiaRanked Q and E let you chain Twin Fang on a slowed Lillia who has no burst and can't out-space your bonus move speed.
Level 6CassiopeiaPetrifying Gaze cone catches her as she peels out and beats her Lullaby sleep, turning your won trade into a kill.
First itemCassiopeiaYour first-item DPS plus boots-free passive move speed lets you stick to and shred a squishy Lillia who can't out-range you.
Two+ itemsEven / skillLillia out-scales into a teamfight Lullaby-sleep roamer; the duel is still yours, but her map pressure flips where the threat lives.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Lillia wants to chip you with passive DOT and Blooming Blast (Q) while drifting on her stacked move speed, but she has no point-and-click and no early burst, so at level 1 just farm and sidestep her telegraphed Q balls. The instant you have Q into E (level 2), prime her with Noxious Blast and the refunded Twin Fang chain out-damages her DOT every time. Don't chase her blindly across the lane — bait her dodge, then step up.
