Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillYou only have Q and she only has one rank of poison — nobody wins level 1, so last-hit at range and set the lane up.
Level 2CassiopeiaHer Q poison + Twin Fang (W) come online and out-DPS your short hops the moment she has two abilities — don't trade into it.
Level 3CassiopeiaHer W grounding now cancels your Q kite while her poison chips you; stay at Swirlseed range and refuse the stand-still fight.
Levels 4-5CassiopeiaEven in your best window her sustained poison out-chips your hit-and-run if you stop moving — you grind from the edge but she edges the trades.
Level 6CassiopeiaHer R face-stun pins you in poison with no dash; hold your own R as anti-engage rather than diving into her DPS.
First itemCassiopeiaHer first AP item turns the poison into a kill threat that out-paces your Liandry's W chunk in a straight fight.
Two+ itemsEven / skillYou reclaim it on tempo — your move speed and roams come online, but a fully-stacked Cassio still out-DPSes you, so convert before the true late game.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is a non-event — you only have Blooming Blows from range and she only has one rank of poison, so just farm with the Q tip and concede nothing. The trouble starts at 2-3: her Q poison plus Twin Fang out-DPSes my short hops, and her W grounds me so I can't kite out once she steps up. Do NOT try to stack Q sweetspots in her face here — chip with the outer edge of Q and the Swirlseed (E) slow from max range, never inside Twin Fang range.
