Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillYou have one ability and no kite chain — concede the opening, last-hit with the tip of Q, and don't feed her early autos.
Level 2Even / skillShe can already tumble-kite and auto you while your Q hops fall short — farm safe, you have no real trade yet.
Level 3LilliaWith the E slow plus a full Q sweetspot and Dream Dust burn, your stacked move speed finally outruns her tumble and chips her if she walks up.
Levels 4-5Even / skillYou can grind her when she steps to CS, but her autos still out-range your hops — it's a genuine coinflip on spacing.
Level 6LilliaLilting Lullaby can sleep her mid-poke for a gank, but the delay means you own this only with a jungler — solo, she tumbles free.
First itemVayneYour Liandry's/Riftmaker spike is real, but it's exactly where her Silver Bolts and Q+W+E kite start deleting you first.
Two+ itemsVayneFull-build Vayne true-damages through any HP you stack and condemns you out of every kite — this is her lane, play for the map, not the duel.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 you have nothing — one ability, no kite chain — so just farm with the tip of Q from max range and eat the auto poke; do not walk up. By Level 3 your stacked Q move speed and the E slow finally let you close, so flick the E seed to slow her, hit the outer Q sweetspot, and let Dream Dust burn while you skip away before she can tumble-reset. Never throw E straight at her — she just tumbles it and punishes the cooldown.
