Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1NautilusAt level 1 you're roughly even, but your passive Staggering Blow root makes auto-trades favor you — punish her if she steps up to last-hit before she has E.
Level 2CamilleCamille gets her W true-damage cone and a second ability online, so her poke-and-heal starts out-trading you before your level-3 combo lands.
Level 3CamilleHer full Q-W-E combo is up — one E hookshot stun into her cone and Q proc out-trades you in melee while your Q pull is your only answer.
Levels 4-5CamilleShe owns the hard-commit window: a fed Camille all-in with W heal and Q true damage beats you if she lands E before you can chain CC.
Level 6Even / skillIt's even at 6 — Depth Charge is undodgeable and beats her E escape, but a Camille with hookshot up and items starting can survive and trade back.
First itemEven / skillGenuinely even: her Sheen/Trinity spike out-sustains your tank damage, but your CC chain still threatens a kill if you catch her flat.
Two+ itemsNautilusYou reclaim relevance in teamfights — your passive root into Q pull into R knock-up into E slow chain-locks her carry where her R isolation can't save her.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is roughly even — I have no all-in without W and E yet — but my passive Staggering Blow root makes auto-trades favor me, so punish her if she walks up to last-hit. The moment I hit level 3 with Q + W + E I own this lane: Dredge Line yanks her in, my passive roots her, and Titan's Wrath splash plus the burn wins the short trade while she's still kiting. The thing to respect is her E hookshot — if she stuns me into her Q-proc-and-W-cone combo my trade flips, so land my Q pull on MY terms, not when she's already dashing in. Bait her E first, then commit.
