Read from Vex's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Aurora.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You match her level-1 range and only need to respect her E setup. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Your W-auto punishes her level-2 step-ups when her dash is down. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Every Across the Veil hop from 3 on feeds your Gloom and empowered Q. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 E-Q out-ranges her poke and W shields her dash-trade. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Shadow Surge cancels her R blink and W follow-up at level 6. |
| First item | Even / skill | First-item your poke and shield stop her from dash-trading profitably. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | In 2-item fights a feared Aurora can't blink to the spirit realm and dies. |
Levels 1-2 you match her range and deny free trades by respecting her E, which is her only hard setup this early. Farm at max range and W-auto her if she steps up without her dash. Keep the wave neutral so she can't crash and use her mobility to roam. Don't walk into her spirit-realm zone carelessly. Track Across the Veil is 22s at rank 1 — her hop + stealth escape; she is killable only while it is down, so count it.

Vex, slightly — a 53.68% win rate edge over 1,576 games; execution can flip it.

Start Doran's Ring + 2 Health Potions and back for Lost Chapter (≈1300g) — the gloom goes sustainable. Build Luden's Companion first, then Shadowflame, with Sorcerer's Shoes / Mercury's Treads.
