Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1RivenYour Q auto-weave procs Runic Blade before she has W Tactical Sweep — this is the one sliver of early pressure you own; use it to poke and set up wave priority.
Level 2CamilleCamille hits Level 2 and Tactical Sweep's true-damage second hit comes online — she now wins any prolonged trade and her Hookshot gives her an escape you cannot match.
Level 3CamilleFull kit for both of you, but her E Hookshot wall-stun plus Q true damage proc plus W sustained healing is a cleaner kill pattern than your combo at this stage.
Levels 4-5CamilleShe is itemising toward Trinity Force and every trade from here rewards her scaling — deny CS where you can and avoid all-ins unless Hookshot is definitively on cooldown.
Level 6CamilleHer R Hextech Ultimatum arrives and she can isolate you completely — she spikes harder at 6 than you do and her cage removes your ability to disengage or receive help.
First itemCamilleTrinity Force completion gives her true damage on-hit and the Spellblade proc synergises with every Hookshot engage — she is at peak threat and you should avoid solo duels.
Two+ itemsEven / skillBoth of you are deep into the bruiser item curve; your 1v1 matchup is genuinely coin-flip here and the lane verdict reflects it — look for team fights where her R isolation cannot single you out.

Early game (levels 1–5)

At Level 1 you actually have a narrow edge — use your Q chain to weave Runic Blade procs onto her before she levels W. The moment she hits Level 2 and Tactical Sweep is live, respect the lane: her second-hit cone deals true damage and heals her, and it will eat through your E Valor shield if she catches you flat-footed. Do not fight through her W second hit under any circumstances — the heal and true damage flip the trade hard against you.
