Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillNeither kit has a decisive level-1 threat — her E hookshot is on a long cooldown and your W-shield is not yet online, so both sides auto-trade and farm.
Level 2SionW-shield online means her first Q true-damage proc gets absorbed; charge Q while her hookshot is down and she has no safe answer to the knockup.
Level 3CamilleHer full kit is online and her W true-damage cone shreds your HP stack brutally — she wins extended trades if she lands Q-auto plus centered W plus Q-auto in one pattern.
Levels 4-5CamilleHer hookshot cooldown drops with rank and she dashes wall-to-wall unpredictably — respect the E animation and never charge Q while she has a wall in hookshot range.
Level 6CamilleHer R drops a hex-arena that nullifies your R escape and isolates the 1v1 — she wins this window if your W-shield is on cooldown when she engages.
First itemSionHeartsteel completion spikes your HP high enough that W-shield absorbs her burst budget; force trades on hookshot's cooldown with E-shred into charged Q.
Two+ itemsSionTwo-item HP total makes your zombie passive a genuine deterrent — she cannot dive you without risking the undead retaliation, and your W-shield value now exceeds her combo damage.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is the one stage where neither kit has a decisive edge — her Q true-damage procs off autos but her E hookshot is on a long cooldown at 11 seconds, so she cannot chain-stun you freely. The moment you hit level 2, W-shield changes the math: start a trade by baiting her into auto range, pop W to eat her first Q proc, then charge your Q while her hookshot is on cooldown. She cannot safely E into you while your Q is charging without eating the full knockup. At level 3 she has her full kit and her W true-damage cone becomes the real threat — never let her land both Q autos plus a centered W cone in the same trade or she will shred 15–20% of your max HP in one exchange.
