| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Aurora | Aurora's Q and E poke chip you before you have E to close. |

| Level 3 | Aurora | At 3 her poke plus W blink keeps her ahead and dodges your engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | At 4-5 your E-Q gap-close lands and punishes her W cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Aurora | Between Worlds at 6 isolates you and amplifies her burst back in her favour. |
| First item | Yasuo | Your first crit item lets you gap-close and burst her squishy frame. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late it evens to a skill matchup — her poke against your crit burst and wall. |
Levels 1-3 favour Aurora — her Q and E poke chip you before you have E to answer, and her W blink dodges your engage. Farm from range, dodge The Weirding's slow, and don't waste Wind Wall on stray poke.
