How to win lane as Aurora against Naafiri · 50.56% win rate over 2,041 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Aurora | Her hound pressure is real but low-damage at level 1, keeping you ahead in raw trades |
| Level 2 | Aurora | Same pattern at level 2, her burst isn't yet threatening enough to punish your poke |
| Level 3 | Aurora | Your E slow comes online and neutralizes her mobility advantage, favouring you |
| Levels 4-5 | Aurora | Kiting tools fully online let you punish her all-in attempts consistently |
| Level 6 | Aurora | Between Worlds dodges her Eviscerate execute, keeping the level 6 window in your favour |
| First item | Aurora | Item spikes widen your kite and burst advantage over her cooldown-reliant kit |
| Two+ items | Aurora | Late-game your range keeps her all-in from connecting as long as you play with spacing |
Naafiri's hound summons give her early pressure, but her actual damage output is still low at levels 1-2, so you can poke and disengage safely with Q while her all-in isn't yet lethal.
