Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillShe's a slippery early laner with Dream Dust DOT and dash kite, and you're a weak early too — so last-hit at Parrrley range and don't over-walk into her poke during her only window.
Level 2GangplankParrrley out-ranges every tool she has and she has no point-and-click answer — chunk her each time she steps up for CS.
Level 3GangplankYour second Q point lets you poke her down faster than Dream Dust sustains, and she has no gap-closer that out-trades your pistol-and-keg chip.
Levels 4-5GangplankOnce she has to walk into your kegs to farm, your barrel poke beats her kite — she can't free-hit the kegs to deny them without eating Parrrley.
Level 6GangplankHer R sleep is her only hard CC, and Remove Scurvy cleanses it and heals off missing HP — so you flip her 6 spike into a wasted combo.
First itemGangplankSheen/Essence Reaver Parrrley plus a full keg chain bursts her low-armor AP frame before Dream Dust DOT and her dash can recover the trade.
Two+ itemsGangplankChained keg detonations two-tap her and Cannon Barrage zones her off objectives — she's a roamer, not a duelist who can answer your scaling.

Early game (levels 1–5)

"Levels 1-2 are the only window she really gets, and even then it's close — Parrrley out-ranges her, so punish her every time she walks up to last-hit. Don't chase her movement speed across the lane; she'll kite your autos with her dash and bleed you with Dream Dust DOT. Sit on the wave, hit her with Q when she comes for CS, and don't let her free-hit your low-HP barrels before you can use them. She has no point-and-click and no gap-closer that catches you — she only out-trades if you over-walk into her poke."
