Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1QuinnYou own level 1 — your range plus a Harrier-marked leap auto wins the first trade before his double-punch passive connects.
Level 2Even / skillHis W charges and E come online here, so trades go even — blind the punch and it stays your lane, eat the grab and it flips.
Level 3SettCharged W true-damage plus the E grab-stun out-damages your squishy frame in a stand-still trade — back off to Q poke.
Levels 4-5SettSett's grit trades and stored smash beat extended autos; his sustain through the brawl wins levels 4-5 outright.
Level 6Even / skillR suppress lets him land a full charged-W combo, but you still have your own roam tempo — neither side cleanly owns 6.
First itemSettYour lethality/crit first item plus Q blind on his W returns the dueling edge before he piles on bruiser HP.
Two+ itemsEven / skillHe reclaims it with max-HP scaling and percent-based smash; you stay even only by kiting and refusing the grab in fights.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is yours — you out-range him and a Harrier-marked auto plus a Q chunks him before his passive double-punch can touch you, so step up and trade. The danger starts the second his W charges and his E comes online: if his grab lands he stuns you and unloads the stored true-damage smash, which ignores your squishiness entirely. Throw Q to blind the moment he commits a punch or steps in for the grab, and never sit still in grab range — dodge the E and the whole combo falls apart.
