Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillNeither of you has engage at Level 1, but her Blooming Blows passive grants movement speed on each ability hit — she can sidestep your auto pattern freely so this window is genuinely even.
Level 2LilliaLillia's E (Swirlseed) and W land before your Q closes, giving her enough DOT and distance to control the trade and deny your Permafrost stun.
Level 3LilliaYour Q-W-E chain is fully online but she can bounce out of Permafrost range with stacked Blooming Blows speed before the stun detonates — she wins the spacing game.
Levels 4-5LilliaWithout Glacial Prison she kites your entire kit: W second-strike range barely clips her and she moves faster than your Q off cooldown between-levels 4-5.
Level 6Even / skillGlacial Prison fires faster than she can react, and the blizzard zone neutralizes her kite; the window is genuinely contested because she still has R-sleep and W-zone to punish a whiffed comet.
First itemEven / skillSunfire Aegis closes the damage gap and your W-into-Permafrost can now trade reliably on a hit-confirm rather than a chase — neither side has a decisive item advantage yet.
Two+ itemsSejuaniAt 2+ items your CC duration and HP pool outscale her kite — she needs teammates to deal damage while you're stunned, and in a teamfight your Glacial Prison chains directly into Lillia's own Lilting Lullaby sleep for a five-man lockdown.

Early game (levels 1–5)

At Level 1 this is a passive CS contest — neither of you has meaningful kill threat, but Lillia's Blooming Blows passive lets her walk away from any auto you throw. Farm with W and accept the poke; your Permafrost armor only activates when you haven't been hit recently, so tanking her DOT immediately strips your passive. At Level 2 you get Arctic Assault, but she can simply bounce out of your knockup range with the kite speed she's already building — don't burn Q forward unless she's trapped against terrain. Level 3 is your first combo window: Q into the second strike of Winter's Wrath stacks Frost, then Permafrost stuns her, but she can abort it by moving perpendicular the moment your Q animation starts. Take Doran's Shield and Second Wind; her Lilting Lullaby DOT ticks through shield health and the sustain is the only way you hold HP equity here.
