Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1VolibearYour weakest level meets his W bite-heal grind — you have no poke and want mount health preserved, so he wins the slow level-1 trade.
Level 2KledYour W shotgun shots come online and Skaarl's free health bar lets you win the level-2 all-in before his bite-heal scales.
Level 3KledFull re-E (E in, W on-hit shots, E back) plus remount sustain out-bursts a Voli who has no shield or R yet — land Bear Trap and commit.
Levels 4-5Even / skillEven window: you out-trade on short W-proc trades, but his Frenzied Maul bite heals back your Q's percent-HP tick, so only go on his cooldown.
Level 6Even / skillCoinflip at 6 — Stormbringer's charge, shield, and tower disable let him dive your dismounted form, but you still win clean trades when his E and W are down.
First itemEven / skillYour Eclipse/Trinity spike with Bear Trap percent-HP and sheen-proc Jousting trades even with a one-item Voli if you force it on his bite cooldown.
Two+ itemsVolibearHe out-scales hard — health stacking plus W slow-heal and Frenzied Maul lifesteal out-sustain your remount, and Stormbringer raid-bosses the side lane.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is his, not yours — you have no spammable poke and you want Skaarl's mount health preserved, while his W bite slows and heals so he wins the slow grind if you trade into it raw. Sit back, last-hit, and wait for your spike. At 2 your W shotgun shots come online, and at 3 the full re-E (E through him, W on-hit shots, recast E back) plus your free remount health bar wins the all-in clean — do it before his bite-heal scales and before he banks Sky Splitter for the stun. Land Bear Trap first so he can't sidestep the dash back, and don't commit if his E is up to interrupt your re-E.
