Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillBoth of you are weak level 1 with one ability — deny her last-hits and set up the wall angle, no real trade yet.
Level 2PoppyQ+E comes online and she can't dash out of your E — first window to wall-stun and chunk her.
Level 3PoppyAll your basic tools punish her immobility against terrain; she has no answer to E-into-wall.
Levels 4-5Even / skillYour flat damage stalls but so does hers — leans on Q max-HP chunk vs her Frost Armor stun, roughly even.
Level 6PoppyR interrupts her E engage and your cheap tank trade still beats hers before her permafrost ramps.
First itemPoppyGold-independent Q percent-HP plus tank components out-trade an immobile Sejuani in the all-in.
Two+ itemsEven / skillBoth flatten into AoE-CC frontlines; W dash-deny is useless on her, so it's a coinflip on who lands CC first.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Sejuani is immobile, and that is the whole lane for you — she has no way to dodge your E so you can reliably dash her into the wall for a stun and chunk her with max-HP Q. At Level 2-3 with Q+E online, walk her down whenever she steps up to last-hit near terrain. Watch her passive: if she has Frost Armor stacked her permafrost autos will stun you mid-trade, so burst her before her CC procs rather than auto-trading.
