Aurora vs Vayne

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Aurora should focus on medium lane pressure to prevent Vayne from freely scaling and kiting.
Prioritize lane control and avoid giving Vayne safe space to use (E) for wall stuns or (R) stealth repositioning.
This is a snowball versus scale matchup where Aurora must leverage burst and picks to disrupt Vayne's late-game ramp.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) cast followed by (E) reposition and reactivate (Q) for burst trades, but avoid using (E) when Vayne can easily dodge.
Punish Vayne after she uses (E) aggressively since her engage is more reliable then.
Avoid committing trades after using (W) since Aurora lacks a quick escape tool during that window.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (R) is active combined with (Q) stealth repositioning, as she can outplay committed all-ins.
Avoid extended trades when (E) is off cooldown due to her potential wall stun.
After using (W), Aurora is vulnerable without a quick escape and can be punished if caught out of position.

Early game

Play cautiously early as Aurora has low early agency and Vayne has high lane pressure and mobility.
Use (Q) plus (E) combos to poke when (E) is on cooldown to avoid getting stunned into walls.
Avoid pushing the wave without vision to reduce vulnerability to Vayne's ranged poke and jungle ganks.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to increase burst and mobility for all-ins or defensive resets; track and respect (R) stealth (Q) window.
After completing the first AP burst item, pressure waves and trades more confidently as Aurora's damage improves.
Respect Vayne's level 6 (R) and two-item spike where her dueling and true damage output become threatening; avoid isolated fights then.

Win conditions

Use verified cooldown windows and wave control to deny Vayne safe scaling and picks.
Leverage level 6 (R) and first item power spike to force picks, roam, or teamfight pressure.
Focus on teamfight disruption and flank pressure to capitalize on Aurora's mobile assassin identity against Vayne's fragile late-game scaling.
