Read from Zac's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Quinn.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | Quinn's Blinding Assault (Q) out-ranges your empty-handed Q, so she pokes you freely level 1. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | At 2 her Vault (E) interrupt cancels your E charge every 12s, keeping the lane hers. |
| Level 3 | Quinn | Level 3 her 11s Blinding Assault and Vault burst still out-trade your unfinished kit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zac | By levels 4-5 your Q-chain heal and E gap-close let you finally trade back into her favour. |
| Level 6 | Quinn | Her Behind Enemy Lines (R) at 6 grants roam pressure you can't answer, tilting it back to Quinn. |
| First item | Even / skill | At first item it's a coin-flip — your tank stats rise but she still kites, so it's skill-dependent. |
| Two+ items | Zac | Two items in, full-HP Zac soaks her poke and walks her down, so the lane is yours. |
Quinn owns levels 1-3: Blinding Assault (Q) out-ranges your 800-unit Q and Vault (E) cancels your E charge outright, so eat minimal poke and farm safely.
