Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillSejuani's level 1 is pure HP tank with no meaningful engage tool — walk up and proc Flamespitter on the wave, but don't over-commit to a trade you cannot finish before Permafrost stacks activate.
Level 2RumbleWith Electro-Harpoon online you can pin her inside Flamespitter range and force real HP trades — this is your clearest edge, use it while her tank items haven't stacked yet.
Level 3RumbleFull kit with Q-E-W combo is your peak short-trade window: Danger Zone Flamespitter plus double Harpoon slow wins the exchange as long as you don't accidentally Overheat mid-trade.
Levels 4-5Even / skillHer percent-HP W starts to normalize the trade math as she scales HP — fights become genuinely Skill-dependent on who lands their CC first, her E stun or your double Harpoon pin.
Level 6Even / skillGlacial Prison is now the lane-deciding ability: she can cancel your Equalizer all-in or engage with it herself, and neither of you has a clean kill without landing your respective CC.
First itemEven / skillLuden's or Shadowflame spikes your Equalizer burst damage but her tank itemization absorbs the Flamespitter sustained portion — trades settle into a neutral push-pull of burst vs durability.
Two+ itemsSejuaniFull tank Sejuani with Frozen Heart and Thornmail simply outlasts your Flamespitter channel; her W percent-HP converts every prolonged trade into her win condition — shift focus to Equalizer teamfight impact.

Early game (levels 1–5)

At level 1 this is a neutral standoff — your Flamespitter does real damage but Sejuani has enough HP to absorb one trade and keep farming. Don't force an all-in on a full-HP tank; walk up to proc damage, then back off before she can stack Permafrost with her W. At level 2 your Electro-Harpoon changes everything: Q into E-slow keeps her in Flamespitter range long enough to actually chunk her, and she has no dash to get out. By level 3 you should be actively winning short trades if you control your Heat — enter Danger Zone, walk at her, double Harpoon to pin, then disengage before she can land Arctic Assault.
