Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillLevel 1 is an even skill lane before ults and item stats matter.
Level 2ZaahenAt level 2 your early trade tools already out-value Quinn's poke-and-reset pattern.
Level 3ZaahenBy level 3 your Q and E win extended trades that her short cooldowns can't refund.
Levels 4-5Even / skillLevels 4-5 are close as Quinn uses range and Vault resets to farm and dodge commits.
Level 6Even / skillLevel 6 reads even because her R is a roam tool, not the all-in flip yours is — but neither pops the lane open here.
First itemZaahenYour first item bricks her falloff damage and lets you walk her down.
Two+ itemsZaahenWith two items you outstat and outsustain a lane bully who has nothing left in a duel.

Early game (levels 1–5)

At levels 1-2 it's even — Quinn's Blinding Assault (Q) blind and Harrier proc let her poke, but you have no ult and she can't commit, so trades are a wash and you just farm cleanly.
