| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is neutral last-hitting with kits not online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays even as both add early poke. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 trades are skill-based, gated by her W hop versus your E. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain matchup-neutral, decided by cooldowns. |
| Level 6 | Lissandra | At 6 your R gives you the kill window before she scales. |
| First item | Aurora | On first item her W dodge and R zone out-scale your pressure. |
| Two+ items | Aurora | With two items Aurora's burst and displacement isolate and punish you first. |
Levels 1-2 are even farm; Aurora's Q pokes and pushes, so match her CS and respect her W dodge, but neither of you threatens a kill before the full kit is online this early. Track Aurora Across the Veil: 22s at rank 1 and she lands invisible — commit only while it is down. Aurora pokes with Q Twofold and can W Across the Veil to dodge, but your E lands through her spirit form and your W point-blank locks her if she blinks in; trade when her W is down since that's her only escape.
