Who Wins

  • You lose most pre-6 poke trades due to Aurora's range advantage, but your level 2-3 all-in potential is strong if she mispositions.
  • Post-6, your R gives you significant kill pressure in 1v1s, especially if you can dodge her W with your mobility.

How to Trade

  • Your best trading pattern is Q to gap close, then immediately E for the damage and to stick to her.
  • Use your passive dogs to extend the trade and force her to use abilities defensively rather than for damage.

Wave Control

  • Let Aurora push early and look for freezes near your tower where you can run her down with Q-E combos.
  • Once you hit 6, you can break freezes with R and look for all-ins when she's overextended.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't take extended poke trades without committing to an all-in, as Aurora will out-sustain and out-damage you at range.
  • Avoid using Q as your primary engage tool when her W is available, as the slow will make it difficult to complete your combo.
