Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1QuinnQuinn's Harrier passive and auto-attack range give her a completely free level 1 — take W, hit the wave, and give her nothing to Vault at.
Level 2QuinnVault is up and her Harrier mark is refreshed — any Q attempt gets you blinded and knocked away before Winter's Wrath can land both strikes.
Level 3QuinnFull kit is online but Vault still counters every Arctic Assault charge; fight only if she wastes Vault on a minion or you catch her walking with it clearly down.
Levels 4-5QuinnShe pokes freely at long range and roams with her ultimate; match her base-recall timing and ping her roams — there is no window to trade favorably yet.
Level 6QuinnGlacial Prison is your first real threat: throw it on cooldown the moment she oversteps and chain R into Q into W into E for a kill or a Flash burn.
First itemQuinnSunfire Aegis absorbs her poke pattern and your CC uptime outpaces her damage output — force the extended fight she always avoided.
Two+ itemsEven / skillAt two-plus items neither of you loses the straight 1v1 easily, but your teamfight lockdown outscales her side-lane threat — play for objectives and let the map decide.

Early game (levels 1–5)

This lane is Quinn's until you have your ultimate, full stop. Her Harrier passive marks you constantly and every auto-attack trade she starts is free because Vault knocks you back and blinds you the moment you try to respond with Arctic Assault. Take W first, last-hit from range with Winter's Wrath ice shards, and never burn your Q into a Vault that is up — she will just flip you away, proc a Harrier mark on landing, and walk back to safety. Doran's Shield and Second Wind are mandatory; without them the chip damage adds up to a kill before level 6.
