Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1FioraYour Q-Vital poke and a baited Riposte beat her level 1 — she can't punish you before her Frost stacks and Permafrost stun are built up.
Level 2FioraQ into E Bladework gives you the guaranteed crit plus a max-HP Vital she can't match at 2; her armor and Frost stacks aren't online yet.
Level 3FioraYou chain Lunges off Vital procs and parry her Arctic Assault dash or Permafrost stun into a stun of your own, owning the trade before she has items.
Levels 4-5Even / skillIt evens out — her Frost slow and W start bleeding your chase while you still out-trade in short bursts, so neither side dominates.
Level 6Even / skillYour R heal field clinches the duel but her Glacial Prison stun can lock your whole combo, so the level-6 spike is a coin-flip on cooldowns.
First itemEven / skillYour Blade of the Ruined King spike keeps you lane-dominant, but her first tank item begins shrugging your non-Vital damage — the lane stays a skill matchup.
Two+ itemsSejuaniShe out-scales: stacked HP plus Permafrost stuns, W slow and an AOE R turn teamfights against you, so split and avoid eating her engage.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Sejuani trades better than most tanks early because her Frost stacks and W slow bleed the move speed you rely on to chase Vitals. Even so, levels 1-3 are yours: bait her Arctic Assault (Q) dash and parry it — or a Permafrost stun — with Riposte to stun her, then land your Q into E Bladework for the guaranteed crit and a max-HP Vital before her armor exists. Don't dive in while you already carry Frost stacks; if she detonates Permafrost (E) for a stun while you're animation-locked in Bladework, that's her one real punish window this early.
