Level 1 is even. Aurora pokes with her spells but you can farm through it and she can't kill you without a jungler, so play safe, dodge her Q line, and keep E for repositioning. Don't overstep for a trade you can't finish — her W (Twofold Hex) blink means most of your early aggression whiffs into a free escape. From level 2 your emerging combo starts to threaten her step-ups.
