Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1RenektonShe has poke range on you at level 1 and you have no gap-closer — farm at Q tip and accept the early poke deficit without burning your E trying to answer.
Level 2AuroraTwofold Hunt is her escape hatch; if she used it on something else before you hit level 2, E in and land the empowered-W stun immediately for a free all-in.
Level 3AuroraHer Twofold Hunt blink is now fully online on a short cooldown — she blinks out of your empowered-W range and retaliates with Q poke, shifting the trade advantage to her.
Levels 4-5AuroraShe tracks your Fury bar and blinks away the instant she sees you banking 50 — unless her Twofold Hunt is already on cooldown, she escapes every full pattern you attempt.
Level 6AuroraDominus absorbs her burst combo but her ultimate gives her a clean long-range repositioning tool that lets her exit any extended all-in before you can finish it — the kill is not clean.
First itemAuroraYour Sundered Sky spike gives you a brief window where your short trades hurt more than her poke heals, but she hits Luden's or Shadowflame at almost the same timing and the lane stays contested.
Two+ itemsAuroraFull AP Aurora wins the 1v1 outright — she blinks away from your W, roots you off your return E, and bursts you before your Q healing catches up; move to split-push pressure and stop dueling.

Early game (levels 1–5)

At level 1 she wins every trade — her Q poke out-ranges your autos and you have no dash to close yet, so just last-hit safely and do not waste HP proving who is tougher. The lane turns the moment you hit level 2: E in, immediately use your empowered-W to stun her in place before she can react with Twofold Hunt, then Q heal through any return damage and dice back out. That single window is the entire early game — if she burns Twofold Hunt to blink away from something else first, you get a free all-in; if she has it, you have to fake the E and bait it before committing.
