Read from K'Sante's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Quinn.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | Quinn owns Level 1: Blinding Assault blanks your autos and Harrier poke chunks you while you have only Q and no way to answer. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Even at Level 2 — you pick up W or E and get safer, but she still kites your single-target Q with Harrier move speed. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Skill: your full Q-W combo is online, but landing charged W through her E vault is a read — guess right and you punish, guess wrong and she resets. |
| Levels 4-5 | K'Sante | Levels 4-5 swing to you: this is your tank lane-control peak where your bulk eats her poke and you trade around her E cooldown. |
| Level 6 | K'Sante | All Out's dash and bonus range let you run her down once her E vault is spent — the duelist profile bursts her before she kites away. |
| First item | K'Sante | Iceborn Gauntlet's slow plus your Q stacks and tank durability pin her Harrier kite so she can't poke you safely anymore. |
| Two+ items | K'Sante | From 2+ items you're a peel/teamfight monster and she has no percent-HP or true damage to punish your armor — she never reclaims this lane. |
Levels 1-2 are hers — Blinding Assault blanks your autos from 1025 range and Vault leaps her back out, while Harrier procs poke you and you have no way to close. Don't step up for a Q stack you can't finish; she just Vaults off and resets with move speed. Last-hit at max Q range, eat the poke, and wait for Level 3. Once your combo is online you have an answer: Path Maker's charge cuts the damage and stuns her if you read the vault.
