| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Even level 1 — she pokes, you farm, neither kills. |
| Level 2 | Aurora | Level 2 tips to Aatrox as your combo starts threatening her step-ups. |
| Level 3 | Aatrox | Aatrox spikes at 3 to punish her step-ups before Twofold Hex. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay yours — you keep punishing when her blink is down. |
| Level 6 | Aurora | Aurora's level-6 R zone and W blink kite your ult. |
| First item | Aatrox | First drain item tips it back via sustain over her poke. |
| Two+ items | Aurora | Aurora out-scales late — ranged scaler with escape versus your drain. |
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.

Start Doran's Shield + Health Potion (vs her poke) and back for Hexdrinker (Long Sword + Null-Magic Mantle) — early magic shield. Build Spear of Shojin (Profane Hydra if you want waveclear + burst) first, then Maw of Malmortius (her damage is magic) → Sundered Sky 3rd, with Mercury's Treads.
