Read from Aurora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Warwick.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Aurora | Both of you are weak at level 1 — you're a single-spell mage, he has autos plus Jaws of the Beast self-heal and no gap-close — so neither threatens a kill; set up the lane and last-hit. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | With Q and E online you out-poke him: curse, recast back through him for the double hit, slow, and your Spirit Abjuration spirits heal the trade faster than his Q can answer. |
| Level 3 | Warwick | Your poke owns this window — chip-and-reset so his Eternal Hunger low-HP lifesteal never ramps and his Q sustain can't cover the deficit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Trades are even at 4-5: your poke is strong but going long feeds his lifesteal, so it's a wash decided by who over-commits first. |
| Level 6 | Aurora | Your level-6 edge: Between Worlds makes you untargetable through a wall to dodge Infinite Duress, and W resets on takedowns — if you don't pre-burn your leap, you win the ult exchange. |
| First item | Warwick | First-item burst can drop him before Eternal Hunger's low-HP lifesteal turns on, but his sustain keeps the all-in honest — an even, mistake-punishing window. |
| Two+ items | Warwick | Full-build Blood Hunt move speed runs you down and Infinite Duress suppresses you whenever Across the Veil is on cooldown, and his lifesteal out-duels you — play safe and let your team peel. |
Early is your window, but a tight one. Land Q, recast it back through Warwick for the second hit, stack the E slow on top, and your Spirit Abjuration spirits drift back to heal whatever he chips with autos and Jaws of the Beast — neither of you threatens a kill at level 1, so trade for last-hit priority. Don't let trades drag, though: the longer he fights the more his Eternal Hunger lifesteal feeds him, so chip-and-reset beats committing. Keep the E backward hop ready — it both pokes and pulls you out before he can close the gap.
