Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1SingedJax has no stun at level 1 — immediately proxy his wave under his tower before he can establish lane presence.
Level 2Even / skillCounter Strike is live but baitable — Mega Adhesive roots him if he overextends chasing, making the trade even on burst.
Level 3JaxCounter Strike stuns you mid-Fling and negates your chase pattern; Jax wins any trade where you plant your feet at level 3.
Levels 4-5JaxJax's damage scaling and short Counter Strike cooldown dominate direct duels through levels 4 and 5 — proxy and ghost rather than fight.
Level 6Even / skillInsanity Potion's magic resistance partially blunts his R passive, but neither of you can cleanly kill the other without a big cooldown mistake.
First itemEven / skillRylai's slow is not yet online but neither is his full item power — both sides are spiking simultaneously and the lane is decided by who makes the first positional error.
Two+ itemsSingedRylai's plus Liandry's means your Poison Trail rots him through his R armor bonus faster than he can burst you before your team collapses on him.

Early game (levels 1–5)

At level 1 Jax has no stun and his Q-leap alone is not enough to trade cleanly, so immediately go under his tower or behind his wave and start poisoning his minions — proxy this wave before he can establish any presence. At level 2 he gets Counter Strike, which is the entire danger of this lane: it negates your Fling auto-damage and stuns you in place, so the moment you see him start its animation, break off the chase and kite away. At level 3 your full kit is live but his Counter Strike stun wins any trade where you stand still — keep running and use Mega Adhesive to root him if he overextends chasing you, then re-engage only after the stun window expires.
