Who Wins
- You lose early trades due to Aurora's range advantage and lack reliable gap closers pre-6, but you win all-ins post-6 if you land E or have minions to Q through.
- Your level 2-3 spike with Q-E can catch Aurora off guard if she positions poorly near your minions.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to land E stun, then Q to her for passive stacks and extended auto trades before she can disengage.
- Use minions as Q reset points to chase her down and avoid taking free poke when abilities are on cooldown.
Wave Control
- Keep the wave in the center or slightly pushing toward Aurora to maintain Q reset options while avoiding overextension.
- A slow push allows you to build up minions for diving opportunities while denying her safe poke positions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions when Aurora has kill pressure, as losing your gap closer leaves you vulnerable to her burst combo.
- Avoid fighting in open areas without minions post-6, as you need Q resets to stick to her through her mobility.
