Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1SejuaniHis H-28G turrets are not yet placed and your Permafrost armor passive absorbs his solo W rocket poke, giving you free Frost-stacking autos and a clean Q knock-up window.
Level 2SejuaniTwo Frost stacks plus Winter's Wrath's second strike lets you land a Permafrost stun before his second turret is set — the earliest the nest is incomplete is your best pressure.
Level 3Even / skillBoth full combos are live but his three turrets are coming online — the lane is genuinely even; catch him mis-positioning outside turret coverage or you lose the trade.
Levels 4-5HeimerdingerThree deployed turrets beam your Arctic Assault approach and his UPGRADE!!! rockets outpace your passive Permafrost armor recovery — farm safely at W range only.
Level 6HeimerdingerHis UPGRADE!!! ult empowers all three turrets for enormous burst; your R exists but diving his nest is suicide — wait for him to step out before throwing Glacial Prison.
First itemSejuaniSunfire Aegis Immolate lets you tank enough turret beam damage to close distance, and Glacial Prison at long range forces him into a 1v1 away from his nest where your stun chain kills him.
Two+ itemsSejuaniAt full tank build your Permafrost armor passive stacks so fast you shrug off W rockets; one Glacial Prison root and he has no dash, no escape, and no answer to the Arctic Assault — Permafrost stun chain.

Early game (levels 1–5)

At level 1 you have real agency: Heimer has no turrets down yet and your passive Permafrost armor soaks his W rocket. Walk up, auto-attack twice to start stacking Frost, and the moment he repositions to place his first turret, Arctic Assault into Winter's Wrath's second swing applies a full Frost stack — Permafrost stun and you have first blood pressure before his nest exists. Level 2 gives you the same window but shrinking: get the Q knock-up trade in before his second turret materialises or the lane shifts against you. Level 3 is genuinely contested — his turrets are nearly full and his grenade E is live, but your own Q-W-E chain can burst him if you catch him standing in a bad spot away from turret coverage.
