Read from Hwei's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Aurora.
This is Hwei's own plan; across 2,897 pooled games the lane is leaning Hwei.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Your 900-plus poke denies Aurora safe windows while Across the Veil is 22 seconds |
| Level 2 | Hwei | She lacks a reliable gap-closer at this stage, keeping trades in your favor |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Both sides are mechanically even here on landing the first key combo piece |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | The Weirding is 13s and hops her out of your detonation, making this a pure mechanical check |
| Level 6 | Aurora | Her mobility and damage spike hard once itemized, letting her dictate engagements |
| First item | Aurora | First item widens her burst and mobility gap further, outscaling your poke damage |
| Two+ items | Aurora | Fully scaled mobility lets her pick you out of position faster than you can zone her |
You hold the early advantage through pure poke range: Across the Veil is 22 seconds at rank 1 and The Weirding hops her backward, so her only repeatable reach is a 900 hex. Keep the pressure on and force her into a passive farming pattern while you still hold the range edge. Track Across the Veil (W) is 22s at rank 1 and 18s at rank 5, and she turns invisible on landing — she is catchable only while it is down.
