| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 you press poke and control the wave. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 your worked-ground poke punishes her farm step-ups. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 you still win before her ult comes online. |
| Level 6 | Aurora | Level 6 tips to Aurora: R plus E blink give her an all-in window. |

| Two+ items | Aurora | Late, Aurora's mobility and R zone give her the pick and skirmish edge. |
You win the pre-6 lane: Q out-ranges her Twofold Hex and shoves her off the wave, so deny farm and poke before she gets her ult. Track Across the Veil is 22s at rank 1 — her hop-and-stealth escape; she is killable only while it is down. Pre-6 you press the wave: Q Threaded Volley pokes and shoves faster than Aurora's Q Twofold Hex, and she has to walk into your worked ground to farm, so chunk her before her ult comes online.
