Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillEven — you only have Blooming Blows with no kite chain at level 1, so you farm the Q from range while Rumble shoves with Flamespitter, and neither of you can commit.
Level 2Even / skillEven — your Q sweetspot poke is real, but until you have the E Swirlseed slow online he can W-shield in and out-DPS you in the cone, so the trade is a wash.
Level 3LilliaYou layer the Q sweetspot with the E slow to start the Dream Dust burn and your stacking move speed keeps you off his Flamespitter while you chip him.
Levels 4-5LilliaFull Blooming Blows plus the compounding burn lets you grind down anyone who has to walk at you, and his short cone can't catch your hops here.
Level 6Even / skillHis level 6 is the answer to your kite — The Equalizer cuts your hop-lanes and an E harpoon slow can pin you in the Flamespitter before you reset distance.
First itemRumbleHis first AP item turns the harpoon-into-overheated-Flamespitter into real burst that matches your Liandry's W chunk, so he edges the extended skirmish.
Two+ itemsEven / skillGenuinely even late — you both scale on percent-HP, so you avoid the 1v1 his harpoon starts and use R to isolate-sleep in teamfights instead.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is a give — I only have Blooming Blows and no kite chain, so I farm the Q from range and let Rumble shove with Flamespitter rather than stand in the cone. The lane turns mine at 2-3: I layer the Q sweetspot with the E Swirlseed slow to start the Dream Dust burn, and my stacking Q move speed keeps me dancing just outside his Flamespitter while the DoT chips him. The one thing to respect is his E harpoon — if it slows me onto his cone I take the worst of the trade, so never hop in a straight line he can lead.
