| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — Aurora's poke matches your on-hit trades. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill as her W is her only real out. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is a wash between her spirit poke and your pressure. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain even around her W dash timing. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 base is even until ults and totems trade. |
| First item | Locke | Locke favoured — R Purgatory executes before her W escape. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late evens back to a bursty assassin coinflip. |
Levels 1-2 are even: Aurora's Q pokes but her W is her only escape, so when it's on cooldown you can walk her down with Ritual Nails autos and force a bad trade.
