Ahri vs Aurora

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ahri's higher early agency and lane pressure to deny Aurora free farm and force her into defensive play.
Prioritize controlling wave tempo to enable short trades and create roam opportunities, limiting Aurora's scaling and pick potential.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) and (W) for quick trades, holding (E) to punish Aurora's commitment or escape attempts.
Engage with (E) immediately after Aurora uses (W) to capitalize on her lost mobility.
Avoid extended trades without (E) or (R) available to prevent Aurora's burst retaliation.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is on cooldown or missed, as Aurora can aggressively trade or all-in.
Watch for (Q)+(E) burst combos, especially if your (W) is down to dodge.
After Aurora uses (W), she lacks quick escape; this is your window to trade aggressively.

Early game

Poke with (Q) and (W) to push Aurora out of lane and punish her low range.
Hold (E) to punish Aurora's forward movement or after she uses (W), when she loses her escape.
Keep the wave controlled near your side to enable short trades and prevent Aurora from setting up picks.

Power spikes

Respect Aurora's level 3 spike when she gains full combo access; avoid risky trades then.
Use Ahri's level 3 for more flexible short trades and save (E) for clear punish windows.
Track Ahri's level 6 (R) availability to safely extend picks, roams, or defensive plays; also respect Aurora's level 6 burst and mobility.

Win conditions

Land (E) to pick off Aurora or force her out of lane, snowballing your lead.
Use (Q) and (W) poke to deny her farm and pressure her low range early.
Control wave tempo to create roam opportunities and force Aurora into defensive play, limiting her scaling and pick threat.
