How to beat Aurora as Aurelion Sol: the early game

Aurora's Spirit Abjuration pulls healing spirits off everything she damages, and Twofold Hex curses from 900 to your 750 beam, with the real damage on the recast that drags the curse back through you. Your early kit doesn't out-range or out-trade that pattern. Play for CS under minimal pressure, sidestep the return line rather than the outgoing missile, and wait out the poke phase.
