Read from Aurora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Quinn.
This is Aurora's own plan; across 281 pooled games the lane is Quinn-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | Quinn's Harrier-empowered autos and Blinding Assault (Q) poke own level 1 — you have only Twofold Hex and no W escape, so concede it and just farm. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Skill window — your Q-curse and recast come online and you can start poking, but her Harrier kite still trades evenly until your E slow and spirits land. |
| Level 3 | Aurora | With Q-recast, E slow and Spirit Abjuration sustain you out-heal her Harrier chip and win the poke war against a Quinn who can't punish your spacing. |
| Levels 4-5 | Aurora | Your poke, passive spirit healing and W cooldown all line up — you control trades and zoning before ultimates while she can't answer your spacing. |
| Level 6 | Aurora | Between Worlds slows her inside the rift while you cross it freely, so Vault's bounce lands her still inside the slow — that is what turns the rift into a kill. |
| First item | Aurora | Your Luden's/Malignance burst spike lets one Q-recast combo plus W delete a squishy Quinn before she Vault-kites out — force the all-in here. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Skill — she reclaims tempo as a roaming splitpush threat and a fed Harrier burst clips you when W is down, so close before two items matter. |
Level 1 is hers — she's a ranged carry with Harrier nimble move speed and you only have Twofold Hex (Q) and no leap yet, so don't try to trade, just last-hit and accept the Blinding Assault poke and its blind. The lane flips fast though: once you have the curse plus The Weirding's slow at 3, recast your Q so the curse-pull drags the missile back through her even after she Harrier-kites the first hit, and let Spirit Abjuration heal the chip back. Respect Vault (12s at rank 1) — it dashes onto you, interrupts what you are doing and bounces her back to attack range, so poke on your terms and never burn W chasing a kite.
