| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Aurora | Aurora's Q poke and W blink win the level-1 exchange outright. |
| Level 2 | Aurora | Her blink escapes every Grasp trade you try at 2. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | W Harsh Lesson lets you occasionally catch her for an even level 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | The E-vs-blink coin-flip keeps levels 4-5 skill-dependent. |
| Level 6 | Aurora | R The Weight of Worlds displaces you off your tentacles at 6. |
| First item | Aurora | Her AP poke and blink out-trade your slam field with a first item. |
| Two+ items | Aurora | Late, full-item Aurora kites your whole tentacle field and resets E on demand. |
Aurora out-pokes you from level 1 with Q Twin Slicebeam and W Twofold Movement blinks out of any Grasp attempt, so the opening levels are clearly hers.
