Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1RumbleRumble freely farms with Flamespitter and chips Skaarl's mount health from range while you have no poke and nothing to all-in yet — keep your mount bar high and wait.
Level 2KledYour W shots come online and the Bear Trap percent-HP yank lets you punish any step-up before he can stack overheat — you own this all-in window.
Level 3KledThe full re-E (E-W-E) burst plus Skaarl's free health bar wins almost any level-3 all-in against his squishy bruiser body.
Levels 4-5KledYour percent-HP Q and W on-hit shots out-trade his Flamespitter, and every remount hands you a fresh health bar his single overheat can't burn through.
Level 6KledChaaaaaaaaarge knocks him into terrain to force a kill and the speed trail extends ganks — just bait his Equalizer zone before you commit.
First itemKledEclipse/Trinity Sheen plus the full re-E combo deletes his squishy frame before Equalizer can zone you — this is your peak, close the lane here.
Two+ itemsEven / skillFull-build Rumble overheats Flamespitter on your remount and uses Equalizer to make every all-in cost your whole bar — close before this or pivot to teamfights.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is Rumble's only good window in this lane and it's mine to survive — he has no spammable poke threat beyond Flamespitter, but that AOE chips Skaarl's mount health while I have nothing to all-in with yet, so I just farm and keep my mount bar high. The second I hit level 2 with W (Violent Tendencies) online for the on-hit shots, I flip it: bait his E harpoon, dash through with Jousting, fire my W shots, and yank with Bear Trap (Q) for the percent-HP shred. At 3 the full re-E (E-W-E) combo plus Skaarl's free health bar wins almost any all-in he tries to take — he's a squishy AP bruiser and can't survive my level 2-3 burst.
