Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillBoth of you are weak at level 1 — she has one ability and you have only Q, so just deny her Q true-damage last-hits and set up your wall position.
Level 2CamilleYour Q+E combo comes online — E her into a wall for a stun the moment she E-hookshots in out of position.
Level 3CamilleLevel 3 is one of your strongest windows: all basic tools up to punish any misplaced Camille dash against a wall with a full wall-stun chunk.
Levels 4-5CamilleYour flat damage doesn't scale with points the way her W cone and Q proc do, so trades even out — lean on max-HP Q rather than raw kill threat.
Level 6CamilleSteadfast Presence hard-counters her engage: W grounds her E hookshot and even her R isolation dash, keeping you safe in the one window she'd otherwise spike.
First itemCamilleYour cheap tank/bruiser components plus gold-independent W dash-deny keep the lane even against her first Hextech item.
Two+ itemsEven / skillShe out-scales hard: Hextech true damage and R isolation beat your flat base damage in isolated duels — avoid side-lane 1v1s and peel for your team instead.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-3 are about your wall-stun, not raw damage. Her whole kit wants to E-hookshot in and second-cast off a wall, so position with a wall behind YOU, not her — when she dashes in, E her into your wall for the stun and chunk her with max-HP Q. Don't waste W early; her real dash threat is her engage and you want Steadfast Presence up to ground it. At 2-3 your Q+E combo lets you punish any aggressive E she throws out of position.
