Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillWe both have a weak Level 1 with only one ability — neither kit comes online, so I just farm the outer Q sweetspot and concede nothing.
Level 2AuroraAurora spikes at 2 — her W spirit-form goes untargetable through my Dream Dust and her Q out-pokes my short hops before the DoT stacks.
Level 3AuroraHer Q poke plus W untargetability keeps chipping me at 3 while my movement-speed kite can't close on a ranged mage yet.
Levels 4-5AuroraLevels 4-5 are a ranged-vs-melee stretch — her E blink resets every gap my Q speed closes, so she out-trades my poke.
Level 6AuroraAt 6 my Lilting Lullaby is a delayed sleep she just E-blinks out of, while her R zones the lane — her spike, not mine.
First itemAuroraHer first-item burst still out-pokes me; bait the E here because I can't commit my kite chain while her blink is up.
Two+ itemsLilliaBy 2+ items my Liandry's percent-HP DoT and W center burst delete a one-blink squishy — once her E is down she dies to the burn.

Early game (levels 1–5)

At Level 1 we both have nothing — she has a single Q poke, I have one Blooming Blows swing — so I just farm with the outer Q sweetspot from max range and don't trade. The problem starts at 2-3: Aurora's W spirit-form lets her go untargetable through my Dream Dust ticks and her Q out-ranges my short hops, so she chips me before my passive DoT can stack into anything. Don't chase a kill here — eat the poke at the edge of the wave, keep my movement-speed stacks topped, and farm toward my real window.
