Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillYour Obliterate is slow and she sidesteps it at range, but with one ability she has no all-in on you either — it's a clean even farm lane until levels come online.
Level 2MordekaiserW banks a cut of damage dealt and taken into shield-health, so your short Q-auto trades absorb her return chip and come out ahead.
Level 3MordekaiserThree hits ignite Darkness Rise and you E-pull her off-wave into a sweetspot Q — the aura out-grinds her W chip before she can build a Frost stun.
Levels 4-5MordekaiserYour sweetspot Q hits hard on an isolated target and your W heal beats her W percent-HP poke, so every step she takes off the minions is punishable.
Level 6MordekaiserRealm of Death banishes her into a 1v1 with no R AOE stun and no team, and stealing her tank stats makes it the isolation kill she can't decline.
First itemMordekaiserLiandry's + Darkness Rise burn through her armor and HP stacking, so every extended trade is now strictly yours — force them and don't let her short them.
Two+ itemsEven / skillRiftmaker omnivamp keeps the Realm 1v1 yours, but her R AOE stun on your carries means the teamfight is fought for picks and peel, not solo glory.

Early game (levels 1–5)

"\"Level 1 is even — your Obliterate is slow and telegraphed, so Sejuani sidesteps it while she farms; only throw Q when she's pinned to a minion and last-hit otherwise. From level 2 your W banks a slice of every exchange into shield-health, so short Q-auto pokes come out ahead. At 3 the lane tips: three hits ignite Darkness Rise, and you E-drag her off the wave into a sweetspot Q while the aura burns — her one answer is a Permafrost stun off a full Frost stack, and if she hasn't built it yet she just eats the trade.\""
