Favour timeline — the windows in K'Sante's game plan

Read from K'Sante's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Camille.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillEven at level 1 — you have only Ntofo Strikes and no engage, but so does she with just her Q proc, so you both just farm and set up the wave.
Level 2CamilleShe picks up her dash tools before your Q-W combo fully matters, and her E hookshot plus Q true-damage proc out-threatens your bare Q at level 2.
Level 3CamilleHer full Q-W-E combo out-trades you in melee — one E hookshot stun into her cone and true-damage proc beats your unitemized tank trade.
Levels 4-5CamilleShe owns the lane-control window: a Camille with Q true damage and W cone heal grinds down your stacks faster than your bulk banks a lead.
Level 6CamilleHer R (Hextech Ultimatum) isolates you into a 1v1, and your All Out strips the very tankiness you need to survive her E-stun burst — this window is hers.
First itemEven / skillHer Sheen/Trinity spike lands E stun into W cone heal and Q proc, out-trading your single tank item before your W-peel comes back up.
Two+ itemsCamilleGenuinely yours late: full tank with Iceborn and armor, you become an unkillable R-peel her true damage chips but can never one-shot.

How to beat Camille as K'Sante: the early game

Level 1 I have only Ntofo Strikes and no engage, so I concede the first level and just farm at Q range — Camille has no reason to commit either with just her Q proc up. By level 2 I take W or E and get safer, and at 3 my Q-W combo is online for my first real trade: if she steps in to last-hit, I can W-charge unstoppable through her poke and Q3 her for the knock-up and pull. The thing to never do is eat her E hookshot stun into the wall — that stun into her Q true-damage proc and W cone is what flips a trade against my low-econ early, so I hold W to answer her engage, not to start one.
