Read from Yone's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Aurora.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Aurora | Aurora's Q poke and W blink control the level-1 spacing. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 her poke and mobility still keep you out. |
| Level 3 | Yone | Level 3 her Q chunks you before you can engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Levels 4-5 your Q dashes close the gap — trades even out. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 it's even: your all-in answers her R zone control. |
| First item | Yone | First item lets you punish her squishy frame once W is baited. |
| Two+ items | Yone | With 2+ items your durability and DPS out-scale her poke. |
Aurora wins the early poke war: Twofold Hex chunks you from 900 range and the recast drags the curse back through you, while Across the Veil leaps her out and hides her whenever you try to close. Through levels 1-3 you're eating poke while she stays safe, so concede those trades and farm carefully. Don't burn tempo chasing her.

Yone takes Lethal Tempo on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, and Resolve secondary (Second Wind and Bone Plating) vs Aurora.
Start Doran's Shield + Health Potion (vs her poke) and back for Core component + boots (≈1300g). Build Blade of the Ruined King (mixed-damage spike) first, then Infinity Edge, with Mercury's Treads.
