Favour timeline — the windows in Quinn's game plan

Read from Quinn's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lillia.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1QuinnYou out-range her and your Harrier auto-resets punish a melee Lillia at every last-hit before her kite is online.
Level 2QuinnYour W steroid lets you stick to her, and she still has no real escape from a leashed Harrier trade.
Level 3QuinnQ-W-E all up: Vault in, slow, and Q-poke shred her squishy AP frame in one trade.
Levels 4-5QuinnYou out-trade a pre-item Lillia and convert the lead into plates while her W-E kite can't yet out-damage your burst.
Level 6LilliaLilting Lullaby is her one flip window — Drowsy into sleep, and it cancels Behind Enemy Lines mid-flight.
First itemQuinnYour lethality/crit spike one-shots a Lillia who has no defensive item to absorb your Harrier burst.
Two+ itemsQuinnYour duel still wins into First Item, but you must close before she becomes an unpinnable DOT skirmisher who outscales you at 2+ items.

How to beat Lillia as Quinn: the early game

Lillia is melee-range on her bread-and-butter trades, so levels 1-3 are pure profit for you. Use your auto range and Harrier resets to leap on her every time she walks up for a last-hit, and throw Q to chunk her squishy AP frame before her W bounce and E kite are fully online. Don't chase her into the minion wave where her W procs free DOT damage — bully the CS denial, take the plates, and make her hate laning against a marksman.
