Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillOrnn has no poke and you have no spammable damage either, so level 1 is a neutral last-hit window — preserve Skaarl's health and don't waste E.
Level 2KledYour W comes online and its on-hit shotgun shots shred a brittle, plate-less Ornn before he can armor up.
Level 3KledThe full re-E (E-W-E) burst plus Q percent-HP damage wins the level-3 all-in against an immobile Ornn with no escape.
Levels 4-5KledYou keep stacking W procs and remount through his poke-less kit — he can't punish you between trades.
Level 6Even / skillIt's even at 6: your R can force kills, but his R double-knockup and W pillar can interrupt your charge and peel your all-in.
First itemKledYour Eclipse/Trinity proc plus Q percent-HP damage is your peak and still beats a pre-armor Ornn — force every all-in now.
Two+ itemsOrnnOrnn self-upgrades items and stacks armor so your percent-HP burst stops mattering, while his E pillar and R wall you out late.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Ornn is brittle and immobile early with no sustain, so once your W is up at 2 and you have the full E-W-E re-E at 3, you out-trade him hard — his only answer is the E pillar knockup if he can shove you into terrain, so trade in open lane where he can't brittle-detonate you into a wall. Dodge his E (it knocks you up if it hits a wall behind you) and his W brittle proc, then commit. Your Q bear trap slows him so he can't walk away from your shots, and Skaarl's free health bar means you win every short trade he tries to start.
