Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1RenektonLillia's Blooming Blows (Q) has longer range than your auto and ticks DOT before you can close — last-hit at Q range and do not burn E into a Level 1 you cannot win.
Level 2Even / skillYour E-W burst trades best before her DOT can stack; bank 50 Fury and force the empowered W-stun the instant she steps up for a minion.
Level 3LilliaWith three abilities up she can Swirlseed (E) you on the disengage — her kite pattern comes fully online here and she wins extended trades.
Levels 4-5LilliaRylai's slow on every Blooming Blows hit keeps you outside W range; she wins attrition by circling and stacking DOT damage you cannot heal through.
Level 6LilliaHer R sleep arrives and turns every engage into a potential death — Dominus HP helps absorb one trade but not a full sleep-into-DOT rotation.
First itemLilliaLiandry's Anguish spike means her DOT now outdamages your Sundered Sky burst healing; she kite-burns you faster than you can catch her.
Two+ itemsLilliaAt two items her Rylai's slows and Liandry's burns stack together — she circles forever and your Q healing cannot keep pace with the percent-max-HP damage.

Early game (levels 1–5)

At Level 1 her Blooming Blows (Q) bounces between you and minions and she can last-hit safely from range — do not walk into her poke for free, just CS at Q's edge and bank Fury. Level 2 is your best window in this lane: E onto her, immediately spend 50 Fury on empowered W for the 1.5-second stun, then Q-heal to recover her poke damage, and E back out before she resets the kite. That burst burst-trades cleanly because her DOT has not had time to stack. By Level 3 she has Swirlseed (E) to slow you on the retreat — end your trade BEFORE she lands it, or you eat the full DOT rotation on your walk back.
