Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to Aurora's superior range and mobility allowing her to poke freely while dodging your abilities.
- Post-6 you become significantly stronger as your R provides massive sustain and damage that she cannot match in extended fights.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to land E pull into W-Q combo, then walk away to avoid her retaliation.
- If she E dashes aggressively, immediately E her during the dash animation as it's easier to hit, then follow up with full combo.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and using Q to last-hit minions while avoiding unnecessary trades pre-6.
- After 6, look to slow push waves and force extended trades with R active where your sustain advantage becomes overwhelming.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E on minions for waveclear as it's your only reliable engage tool and has a long cooldown.
- Avoid chasing her with R active if she has E available, as she can easily kite you and waste your ultimate duration.
