Early game (levels 1–5)

Aurora wins the early poke war: her Q (Twofold Hex) chunks you from range and her W (Across the Veil) lets her blink through walls to reset spacing 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 trying to catch her before you have the tools to.
