Who Wins
- You lose most early trades due to Aurora's range and mobility advantage, but you can start winning post-6 when your R provides massive survivability and kill pressure.
- Focus on surviving the laning phase rather than forcing early fights you cannot win.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern revolves around landing Q to slow Aurora, then walking up for passive stacks and W damage.
- Only commit to trades when you can guarantee landing your Q, as missing it leaves you vulnerable to her full combo with no response.
Wave Control
- Accept being pushed in early and focus on farming safely under tower using your Q and W for last-hitting.
- Once you have R, you can start looking for longer trades and all-ins where your sustain and tankiness become overwhelming.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase Aurora through minion waves early game as her mobility and range will let her kite you indefinitely while taking minion damage.
- Avoid using W aggressively without landing Q first, as it leaves you with no gap-closer and vulnerable to her poke.
