Favour timeline — the windows in Fiora's game plan

Read from Fiora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Aurora.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1AuroraShe is one of the meekest melee-range Level 1s with no wave clear to deny you — own the lane and farm freely while she hides.
Level 2Even / skillBefore her blink is reliable, an E-into-Q lands the guaranteed-crit Vital and her single poke can't trade with that burst.
Level 3Even / skillOnce her blink is up she escapes your Lunge and Q-roots you back — genuinely even until you bait the cooldown out.
Levels 4-5FioraYour Lunge cooldown drops off every Vital proc, so you re-dash through her blink and she simply can't kite you at this stage.
Level 6AuroraHer W exiles you to the spirit realm and her twin-cast R root-bursts you from range right as you all-in — this is her one real window.
First itemFioraRavenous Hydra plus Vital-reduced Q lets you Lunge-chain through her the moment she burns her blink — force every all-in here.
Two+ itemsFioraShe stays squishy with no second escape, so one R into all four Vitals and the heal zone deletes her — just dodge the Q root first.

How to beat Aurora as Fiora: the early game

Aurora is one of the meekest melee-range Level 1s and has no wave clear to push you off the wave, so Levels 1-3 are yours: her one escape is the blink, so bait it with a Q feint or a hard step-in, then E her for the guaranteed-crit Vital and Q-cancel to stay on top of her. The key is Riposte discipline — hold it for her Q root, not her chip poke. Parry the immobilize and the return becomes a stun, turning a trade into a kill. Don't burn Lunge chasing through minions she's hiding behind; punish her when she steps up to last-hit.
