Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1SionSion shoves with E and a charged Q threatens a knockup before you have a kite chain — concede level 1 and just farm Blooming Blows from range.
Level 2LilliaYour second Q sweetspot plus the E slow starts the Dream Dust burn, and Q move speed makes you uncatchable for an immobile tank stepping up to CS.
Level 3LilliaWith the DoT layering and stacking move speed you kite him freely — every walk-up to last-hit costs him max-HP burn he can't answer.
Levels 4-5LilliaFull-rank Blooming Blows plus the compounding DoT is your peak window — his W shield can't soak a sustained burn and he can never reach you.
Level 6LilliaLilting Lullaby sleeps him off a Dream Dust setup for a pick, and your kite still beats a tank whose only catch is a slow charged Q you can sidestep.
First itemEven / skillEven — his charged Q knockup can catch your kite and his W shield blunts a trade, but you still out-chip him if he can't land it, so it hinges on the Q.
Two+ itemsSionTwo tank items plus his zombie passive let him shrug your DoT in fights and a fog-charged Q deletes your squishy body — pivot to roams and picks instead.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is his — Sion can shove with E and his charged Q threatens a knockup before I have a kite chain, so I just farm Blooming Blows from range and concede the opening. The moment I hit 2-3 it flips: my second Q sweetspot plus the Swirlseed slow starts the Dream Dust burn, and the stacking move speed from Q makes me uncatchable for an immobile tank. The only thing that catches me is a fully charged Q, so never stand still in front of him while he winds it up — sidestep the airborne and let the burn tick.
