Aurora vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Aurora is a mobile burst mage who must pressure Yasuo's scaling by denying safe farming and picks.
Use medium lane pressure to avoid giving Yasuo the wave control he needs for mobility and all-ins.
Focus on teamfight impact and skirmishes rather than extended lane dominance, respecting Yasuo's early agency.

Trading pattern

Start trades with (Q), follow up with (E) for reposition and damage, then reactivate (Q) for burst.
Avoid trading right after using (W) since you lose your quick escape tool.
Punish Yasuo when his (W) is down or when he lacks minions to dash with (E) for mobility.

Danger windows

Yasuo is dangerous when his (W) is up and he has minions to dash with (E), enabling aggressive trades.
Respect Yasuo's second (Q) tornado knockup and (R) follow-up as lethal all-in windows.
Avoid committing after using (W) since you lose your escape and become vulnerable to Yasuo's burst.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 since Yasuo's level 2 combo can punish poor spacing.
Use (Q) and (E) carefully to poke and reposition, but do not rely on (E) as it is easily dodged.
Track (W) cooldown to punish when his projectile block is down, especially early levels.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to increase burst and mobility for picks or defensive resets; track (R) to avoid all-ins.
After your first AP burst item, pressure waves and trades more confidently, forcing Yasuo to respect your damage.
Respect Yasuo's level 2 (Q)+(E) combo and his first completed item spike to avoid losing trades.

Win conditions

Use verified cooldown windows and wave control to deny Yasuo safe scaling and force mistakes.
Leverage your level 6 ultimate and first item spike to secure picks or roam for team advantages.
Focus on teamfight disruption and flank pressure to capitalize on your burst and mobility strengths.
