Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to mana costs and lower early damage compared to Aurora's poke and mobility.
- Post-6 you gain significant power through your passive and can win extended trades, but Aurora still has better all-in potential with her R.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to use Q-E-Q when Aurora commits with her E, maximizing your passive stacks for movement speed to kite.
- Wait for her abilities to be on cooldown before engaging, as you need multiple spell rotations to outdamage her burst.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and using Q to last-hit from range while avoiding Aurora's Q poke in the early game.
- Look to freeze the wave near your tower where you can farm safely and potentially set up ganks, as Aurora will struggle to dive you.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste mana on unnecessary trades early when Aurora can simply E away after taking favorable exchanges.
- Avoid fighting in the river or jungle where Aurora's R can isolate you from your team, as you need teammates nearby to maximize your sustained damage output.
