Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1LilliaJax has no E Counter Strike at level 1 — your outer-edge Q sweetspot and Dream Dust DoT chip him for free while your Q move speed keeps you out of his Q-W range.
Level 2Even / skillLane is even at 2: your burn is online but Jax now threatens his first Counter Strike hold, so trades trade and neither of you commits.
Level 3JaxJax holds E Counter Strike the moment you hop in — your sweetspot autos feed his dodge and stun, making this his cleanest kill window.
Levels 4-5Even / skillSkill stage: your full-rank Q and burn want to grind him, but a held Counter Strike punishes any auto-trade, so it comes down to who respects the dodge timer.
Level 6JaxJax's R Grandmaster's Might triples his defensive stats and dueling power — your delayed sleep can't win the straight all-in, so he owns 6.
First itemJaxJax's Trinity/Blade first item is his takeover duel; your single percent-HP item can't yet out-burst his empowered W all-in.
Two+ itemsLilliaAt 2+ items your Liandry's/Riftmaker burn deals real percent-HP, you stop walking into Counter Strike, and your kite plus R-sleep out-scale his single-target duel.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-2 are mine because Jax has no E Counter Strike yet — I sit at max range, hit the outer-edge Q sweetspot, roll E Swirlseed for the slow, and start the Dream Dust burn that he simply can't dodge. The Q move speed stacks keep me a step outside his Q-W gap-close, so every time he walks up he just eats more DoT. The moment he hits 3 and holds Counter Strike, stop auto-trading into him — that dodge-then-stun is the one button that turns my hop-in into a kill, so chip with the DoT and don't feed the parry.
