Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillLevel 1 is neutral — Sejuani's W percent-HP damage starts immediately but her early burst is low, so farm safely with Q range and build fury rather than trading even.
Level 2RenektonLevel 2 is your best window: E onto Sejuani before she can stack Permafrost, empowered W stun, Q heal back her W tick, then E out before the aura turns the trade.
Level 3RenektonAll three abilities online and a health lead in hand — freeze near your side so Sejuani must overextend into your E-W range rather than running Permafrost stacks into you.
Levels 4-5RenektonSejuani has no escape and her Permafrost cooldown is long enough that you can force repeated burst trades — sustain the lead with Q healing and deny her farm under the threat of another all-in.
Level 6Even / skillDominus stats are big but her R hard-CC is the equalizer — bait the R before committing your full Dominus all-in or the stun just hands the kill back to her.
First itemEven / skillYour Sundered Sky or Stride Breaker spike keeps burst trades in your favour, but Sejuani's Frostfire Gauntlet means her W percent-HP is scaling and extended fights start to slip away from you.
Two+ itemsSejuaniTwo tank items on Sejuani and her percent-HP W plus Permafrost CC outlast every burst window Renekton has — play for objectives and team followup rather than solo dueling her.

Early game (levels 1–5)

At level 1 this lane is genuinely neutral — Sejuani's base damage is low but her W percent-HP damage starts immediately and she does not need to be fancy to trade with you. Farm safely and build fury on the wave rather than wasting E on a level-1 skirmish. At level 2 you get the clearest edge in the whole lane: E onto her, empowered W stun before she can auto-stack Permafrost, Q to heal back her W tick damage, then E out. She has no dash and Permafrost needs several hits to proc, so if you commit and leave the moment Q resolves, you win the trade cleanly. By level 3 you should already be ahead on health — use that lead to keep the wave near your side so she has to walk into your engage range.
