Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to Aurora's range advantage and your lack of gap closers to punish her poke.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R engage, but Aurora can still kite effectively if she plays the spacing correctly.
How to Trade
- Look for opportunities when Aurora uses abilities on the wave, then E forward for an extended trade using Q spam and empowered autos.
- Use W to dodge her key abilities and force her to either commit fully or disengage unfavorably.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and scaling rather than forcing trades, using Q to last-hit from safer distances when possible.
- Look to freeze the wave near your tower where Aurora has to overextend to poke you effectively.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase Aurora through her E mobility without having R available to close gaps.
- Avoid trading when your W is on cooldown, as you'll be vulnerable to her full combo without your untargetability.
