Aurora vs Ornn

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Aurora should pressure Ornn early to deny him a calm scaling lane and avoid letting him safely reach his tank item power spike.
Prioritize medium lane pressure and use mobility to look for picks and burst rather than extended trades.
This is a mobile assassin versus scaling tank matchup where Aurora must disrupt Ornn's stable farm and teamfight scaling.

Trading pattern

Trade by casting (Q) then immediately following with (E) for reposition and burst, then reactivate (Q) quickly.
Punish Ornn when he uses (E) away from terrain or wastes (R) without follow-up.
Avoid trading after using (W) or when (E) is on cooldown, as your damage window and escape options are limited.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Ornn has (E) ready near terrain, as he can knock you up and set up follow-up crowd control.
Avoid overextending after Ornn applies brittle with (W), as he can capitalize on the increased damage and crowd control.
Exercise caution post-level 6 when Ornn can engage from long range with (R), especially if your mobility cooldowns are down.

Early game

Use (Q) and (E) combos to poke and reposition, avoiding extended trades where (E) knockup and (W) brittle can punish.
Avoid using (W) without an escape plan since it leaves you vulnerable to Ornn's crowd control.
Focus on wave control to keep Ornn from safely farming and to create pick opportunities before level 6.

Power spikes

At level 6, (R) unlocks high mobility and burst; use this to execute verified all-ins or roams, and avoid forcing blind fights.
After completing your first AP burst item, pressure waves and trades more confidently, as your damage becomes more threatening.
Respect Ornn's level 6 (R) engage and first tank item spikes by maintaining spacing and avoiding extended fights near terrain.

Win conditions

Use your mobility and burst to deny Ornn stable farm and prevent him from reaching his tank item power spike.
Look for picks and all-ins when your (R) is available, especially if Ornn mispositions or wastes key cooldowns.
Apply pressure in lane to force Ornn into passive play, enabling your teamfight disruption and flank pressure later in the game.
