Early game (levels 1–5)

Aurora's early kit rewards careful auto-attack stacking for her passive, so punish her whenever she extends for stacks and use W to absorb her Q poke. You're ahead through 3-5 because her all-in isn't real yet — she needs items and her ultimate to become the safer, kitier threat she scales into.
