Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1JayceYou own the very first level: take Cannon Q and gate-Q her step-ups — she has no Hookshot yet to dodge the orb or close the gap, and your accelerated Shock Blast out-ranges her melee.
Level 2Even / skillIt is even at 2 — you have the accelerated Shock Blast online but she gets Tactical Sweep poke and her Q trade pattern, so the early skirmish is a coin-flip on who lands first.
Level 3CamilleAt 3 her Hookshot stun and her Q second-hit true damage let her finally trade back through your gate-Q and punish any whiff.
Levels 4-5CamilleThrough 4-5 her cooldowns are up and her Tactical Sweep heal out-sustains your poke as her kit comes fully online.
Level 6CamilleHer R (Hextech Ultimatum) cages you into an isolated 1v1 with no escape, while your stance-swap R gives you no real level 6 spike to answer it.
First itemCamilleHer Eclipse/Trinity first item turns her Q-reset, Tactical-Sweep-heal combo into a stat-check your still-squishy, defenseless frame loses.
Two+ itemsEven / skillIt levels back out late only because you can poke from range in grouped fights — but in any isolated cage she still out-scales and kills you.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-2 are your only clean window — take Cannon Q and gate-Q her every time she steps up to farm, because she has no Hookshot yet and your accelerated Shock Blast out-ranges her melee step-ups hard. The instant she hits 3 it tightens: her Q (Precision Protocol) second hit converts to true damage, her W (Tactical Sweep) is a physical-damage cone that heals her off you, and Hookshot gives her the gap-closing stun to punish any whiffed gate-Q. Hold hammer E (Thundering Blow) for her Hookshot dash and knock her out of the air to cancel the stun — don't waste it poking.
