Read from Jayce's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Aurora.
This is Jayce's own plan; across 775 pooled games the lane is leaning Jayce.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jayce | You take Shock Blast and gate-Q her last-hits with no blink point up yet to dodge the orb — free health lead at level 1-2. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | She gets her second ability but you still have the Cannon range edge — a coin-flip on who lands their poke first before her blink is reliable. |
| Level 3 | Aurora | Her blink sidesteps your gate-Q and her root sets up a full burst combo — she owns this window once both tools are online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Both have their kits but neither has items — she dodges orbs with her blink, you answer her dive with Thundering Blow, so it comes down to who reads the cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Aurora | Her level 6 spike is real burst while your R is only the stance-swap you already had — no new ult damage, so she reclaims the window. |
| First item | Aurora | Her first AP item makes the root-into-combo lethal while your Eclipse only restores parity — she keeps the edge here. |
| Two+ items | Jayce | Your 2+ item poke out-chunks her squishy frame and Thundering Blow knocks her out of her own combo — you reclaim the duel before her pick potential matters. |
Level 1-2 is yours: in Cannon form take Shock Blast and gate-Q her step-ups to last-hit — she has no blink point yet, so the accelerated orb just lands and chunks her squishy frame. The lane flips at 3, though: once she invests in her blink she sidesteps the gate-Q and her root sets up a burst combo you cannot stance-dance out of (your R passive move speed lets you reposition, not escape a root). Bank your health lead at 1-2, then stop throwing predictable orbs into a champion who can now dodge them and punish the cooldown.
