Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1KennenYour Thundering Shuriken (Q) outranges Camille's entire level-1 kit — free poke with no counterplay before she has E.
Level 2Even / skillEven Skirmish: your Q chip is matched by her Q true-damage last-hits, and neither of you can safely commit yet.
Level 3CamilleHer level-3 Q-W-E combo out-trades you in melee — one E hookshot stun into her cone and proc chunks your low-HP body.
Levels 4-5CamilleShe owns the hard-commit window: a fed Camille all-in with W heal and Q true damage beats your poke if she lands E.
Level 6KennenSlicing Maelstrom (R) plus your three-mark stun-lock blows her up before items — channel R when she E's in and her own engage feeds your stun.
First itemCamilleHer Sheen/Stride spike arrives: E stun into W cone and Q proc out-trades and out-sustains your magic burst once her R isolates you.
Two+ itemsEven / skillGenuinely even late: she scales to win the isolated 1v1, but your AoE R and global engage keep you relevant in any teamfight.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1-2 are yours: Thundering Shuriken (Q) outranges everything Camille owns, so chip her each time she walks up to last-hit and stack Mark of the Storm with your Electrical Surge (W) on-hit autos. The thing to respect is her E hookshot — if she stuns you into her Q-proc-W-cone combo your fragile body folds fast, so never throw a Q from inside her E range. By level 3 she has her full Q-W-E and out-trades you in melee; back off and poke from max range instead of contesting the wave toe-to-toe.
