Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1QuinnYou out-range his melee Q and your Harrier-reset autos out-trade him before his W block is leveled to absorb your poke.
Level 2Even / skillEven Q-W tools both sides — your blind shuts his Q-knockup but his W block can still eat a Harrier auto, so it's a skill trade.
Level 3Even / skillYour full Q-W-E kit lets you blind-and-vault his all-in, but his W block and dash keep it close — comes down to who lands first.
Levels 4-5K'SanteHis base tankiness and W block start soaking your physical poke as your early lead plateaus and he stabilizes.
Level 6K'SanteHis R strips his own resists, dashes you into a wall and isolates you — your squishy frame gets deleted if pinned.
First itemK'SanteHis tank-fighter first item plus W block outvalues your lethality spike once he can absorb a Harrier auto.
Two+ itemsK'SanteTwo-item K'Sante blocks your autos, ignores poke with percent-HP, and locks you down with R isolation — he hard-outscales you.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-3 are yours — you out-range his melee Q knockup and your Harrier auto-resets out-trade him before his W block is online to soak your poke. Lead with Q to blind him so his Q-knockup all-in whiffs, then weave Harrier autos. Hold E-Vault as your get-out: the moment he dashes in with W or sets up the knockup, vault over him to reset Harrier and disengage. Don't sit in melee range hoping to trade autos into his block — keep it ranged.
