| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Akali | Your early pressure and trade patterns edge out her not-yet-online kiting kit |
| Level 2 | Akali | Your damage keeps pace with her poke before her mobility fully comes online |
| Level 3 | Aurora | Aurora's Passage kiting and Vile Bolt poke win the ranged trade through this stretch |
| Levels 4-5 | Aurora | Aurora's ultimate punishes extended engages and her mobility still outpaces your closing speed |
| Level 6 | Akali | Your item spike lets your burst outrace her repositioning before she escapes twice |
| First item | Akali | Your stealth engage closes the gap on her dash and lets your combo land cleanly |
| Two+ items | Akali | Your assassination potential and gap-close continue to outweigh her kiting tools |
You can bully Aurora early since her kit isn't fully online until she has mana and cooldowns to kite freely, so pressuring her before she has room to dash away with Passage keeps the lane close to even in your favor.
