Read from Ahri's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Aurora.
This is Ahri's own plan; across 6,351 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is a Skill matchup as both kits rely on landing pokes rather than raw stats |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 remains Skill for the same poke-trading reason |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays Skill since full combos don't create a clear favorite yet |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain Skill as trades stay close to even based on execution |
| Level 6 | Ahri | Level 6 favors Ahri as Spirit Rush burst lands before her ult reset has anything to chain off |
| First item | Ahri | 1st item still favors Ahri as your combo keeps closing the fight out first |
| Two+ items | Aurora | 2+ items favors Aurora since Between Worlds zones the whole fight while she blinks across it |
Levels 1 through 5 are a tight poke-and-position duel — both of you rely on landing skillshots to open a trade, and whoever plays the wave and cooldowns better wins that exchange, so there's no inherent kit advantage in the early laning phase, it's purely mechanical execution. Track Across the Veil is 22s at rank 1 and turns her invisible on landing — she is killable only while it is down.
