Aurora vs Warwick

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Aurora is a mobile mage assassin with medium lane pressure who must manage Warwick's early dueling and sustain to avoid extended fights.
Focus on controlling the lane to deny Warwick easy melee trades and avoid giving him low-health targets to chase.
This is a snowball vs early dueling matchup where Aurora must leverage burst windows and avoid prolonged trades Warwick favors.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades with (Q) followed by (E) for burst and repositioning, then reactivate (Q) to maximize damage.
Punish Warwick after he uses (E) or misses (R) by stepping forward for quick trades or wave pressure.
Avoid trading when (E) fear or (R) suppression are up to prevent getting locked down or feared.

Danger windows

Beware of (R) suppression at level 6, which can force picks or all-ins if caught out.
Respect (E) fear and damage reduction during early extended fights; avoid trading when these are available.
Avoid using (W) invisibility when (R) is ready, as you lose your quick escape and become vulnerable to suppression.

Early game

Prioritize short trades using (Q) and (E) combo to poke Warwick before he can engage extended fights.
Avoid prolonged melee combat early to minimize Warwick's healing from (Q) and damage reduction from (E).
Use (W) invisibility carefully since it leaves no quick escape; avoid using it when (R) is available.

Power spikes

At level 6, Aurora gains high mobility and burst with (R); use this window for all-ins, picks, or roams while respecting (R) threat.
After completing first AP burst item, pressure waves and trades confidently to punish Warwick's limited waveclear and sustain.
Respect Warwick's level 3 power spike when his full kit with sustain and fear is available; avoid extended trades then.

Win conditions

Use verified cooldown windows and wave control to deny Warwick extended melee trades and low-health chase opportunities.
Leverage (R) mobility and burst to pick Warwick off or roam and snowball leads.
Pressure Warwick after his key cooldowns (E) and (R) are down to force favorable trades and control the lane pace.
