Heimerdinger vs Aurora

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use turret zones to control the lane and force Aurora to farm under pressure, denying her easy scaling opportunities.
Maintain high lane pressure with turrets and (E) to punish Aurora's low range and mobility reliance.
This is a control vs teamfight matchup where Heimerdinger must manage turret setups to prevent Aurora's burst and pick potential.

Trading pattern

Let turrets define trades; use (E) to stun when Aurora commits and layer (W) or upgraded spells for burst.
Punish Aurora after she uses (W) since she loses her escape and repositioning tool.
Avoid fighting away from turrets and do not waste (E) on poke since it can be dodged and leaves you vulnerable.

Danger windows

Respect Aurora's level 6 ultimate window for burst and mobility; hold key defensive cooldowns.
Be cautious when turrets are cleared or (E) is on cooldown, as Heimerdinger is vulnerable to Aurora's mobile all-ins.
Avoid overpushing without vision to prevent ganks exploiting Heimerdinger's low mobility.

Early game

Establish turrets early and hold (E) to punish Aurora's attempts to engage or farm.
Avoid pushing too hard without vision to prevent ganks due to Heimerdinger's low mobility.
Use turret zones to zone Aurora off minions and force her into vulnerable farming positions.

Power spikes

Level 3: Full turret, (W), and (E) combo allows strong anti-engage trades; hold (E) for committed engages.
Level 6: Choose (R) upgrade based on needed burst or control to deny Aurora's all-in or escape.
First AP item: Turret and spell damage become more threatening; keep turrets alive to maximize zone control.

Win conditions

Win by maintaining turret zones that punish Aurora's melee approaches and force her to farm under pressure.
Use upgraded (R) abilities to deny Aurora's dives and secure objective setups.
Control the wave and punish Aurora's cooldowns, especially after she uses (W) or misses (E), to create kill pressure or force resets.
