Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillShe camps behind minions on Winter's Wrath and you have no level-1 burst either, so last-hit at Cannon-Q range and don't over-extend into a gank setup.
Level 2JayceYour E unlocks the full accelerated Shock Blast and she has zero dashes to dodge it, so she eats poke every time she walks up to farm.
Level 3JayceCannon-Q into a swap that shreds her armor and MR chunks her on any step-up, and her Frost passive only stacks for her own stuns, never answering your poke.
Levels 4-5JayceYou have both forms while she still lacks the tank items to fight back through the poke, so the health-bleed keeps tilting your way.
Level 6Even / skillHer R, Glacial Prison, arrives as a flash-engage stun and your swap is no new burst, so the window flattens and you must respect her flash-R and any collapsing jungler.
First itemEven / skillA Tear/Eclipse/Manamune first buy keeps your poke threatening, but her first armor item starts eating the orb, so the margin shrinks to even.
Two+ itemsSejuaniShe out-scales the matchup: tank items plus Arctic Assault into Permafrost stun into Glacial Prison lock down your defenseless frame, so spend every early edge before this stage.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Sejuani is a slow, dashless tank with no way to dodge your gate-Q, so fire Shock Blast through your Acceleration Gate every time she steps up to last-hit and she takes free chunks. At Level 1 it's mostly Skill since she just sits behind minions farming with Winter's Wrath, but the second you have E (2-3) you own the poke war. Don't burn your stance-swap chasing a kill you can't get through her tank stats yet, just bleed her health bar and deny her CS. Watch for an Arctic Assault (Q) charge if she's setting up a jungle gank.
