| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even before Aurora's poke kit comes online. |
| Level 2 | Aurora | At 2 her Q chip plus passive healing out-trades itemless Vayne. |
| Level 3 | Aurora | Level 3 her W dash resets your Silver Bolts stacks and dodges trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Aurora | Levels 4-5 her ranged chip keeps her safely ahead in lane. |
| Level 6 | Aurora | Her ult zone at 6 can wall you off and trap you. |
| First item | Aurora | Her first-item mage spike out-pokes your unfinished Bork. |
| Two+ items | Vayne | Late Bork plus Final Hour true damage outscales her burst frame. |
Level 1 is even before Aurora's kit comes online — trade autos and stack Silver Bolts while she has only Q. Respect that her power arrives a level later than yours does not.
