How to win lane as Sylas against Aurora · 50.99% win rate over 2,738 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Even trade — both duel with skillshots, and Aurora's Q versus your Chain Lash is a pure aim contest. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Skill-based; her W (Weightless) hop dodges your Q about as often as she eats it. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Still even — your Abduct threat balances her mobility and root through the mid-levels. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Neither champion snowballs the trade, so it stays a coinflip on who lands first. |
| Level 6 | Sylas | Your Hijack + Abduct all-in out-bursts her at 6 before she can Weightless away. |
| First item | Aurora | First-item Aurora spikes hard; her burst and Between Worlds (R) zone flip the duel to her. |
| Two+ items | Sylas | Two items and Kingslayer sustain let you out-brawl her in extended fights and reclaim the edge. |
The opening levels are an even, skill-based affair. Aurora's Q (Twofold Hex) trades blow-for-blow with your Chain Lash, and her W (Weightless) dash lets her dodge as often as she gets clipped. Whoever lands their skillshot first wins the exchange, so focus on hitting the far edge of your Q and reading her hop before you commit Abduct.
