Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1 and 2 are yours: your ball outranges Aurora's early Twofold Hex poke and she can't yet dodge your combo with a blink, so step up and land Command: Attack when she walks to CS, and push the wave to keep her on the back foot. Keep the ball on your body so any early aggression eats a return. This is your window before her kit comes fully online, so use it to build a small lead.
