Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1JayceLevel 1 is mine -- free Cannon-Q chip (and gate-Q from 3) on her last-hit step-up is damage she has zero sustain to answer.
Level 2Even / skillEven window: Acceleration Gate makes my Shock Blast artillery, but her Riposte parry means I only trade when her W is down -- a true coin-flip on reads.
Level 3FioraHers now -- her Q-dash reaches my vitals and the passive true damage out-trades me the moment a fight runs long.
Levels 4-5FioraShe controls 4-5: parry plus vital DPS stat-checks my squishy frame in any extended trade, so I poke and disengage only.
Level 6FioraHer spike, flatly -- Grand Challenge's four vitals and heal field beat my all-in while my R is just the same Cannon/Hammer swap.
First itemFioraStill hers -- a Riposte on my swap-shred attack eats the burst, and her first item closes the gap my Eclipse poke opened.
Two+ itemsJayceMine again only if I am ahead -- the Thundering Blow knockback and a health lead reclaim the duel before her vitals fully scale.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is mine: I take Cannon-form Q and, once Acceleration Gate is up at 3, fire Shock Blast through the gate to chip her the instant she walks up to last-hit -- damage she has no sustain to answer pre-6. The whole danger is Riposte (her W) -- if I throw a predictable gate-Q or land my swap-shred attack into it she parries the damage and stuns me, so I poke off cooldown and never telegraph the all-in. From level 3 she gets her Q-dash spacing and can start proccing vitals on me, so I keep the wave on my side and make her cross my range to fight.
