Jayce vs Aurora

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Jayce's high early agency and ranged poke to pressure Aurora and deny her safe farming opportunities.
Focus on snowballing lane control through poke and form swaps to prevent Aurora from scaling comfortably.

Trading pattern

Start trades with ranged (Q)+(E) poke and only commit hammer form when (W) invisibility and repositioning cooldown are down.
Punish Aurora's long (E) animation by dodging and immediately counterattacking with poke.
Avoid trades after missing empowered (Q) or when mana is low to prevent being vulnerable to Aurora's burst.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (R) ultimate is up, as her burst and mobility threat increases significantly.
Avoid committing hammer form trades when mana is low or empowered (Q) is missed to prevent being punished.
Watch for Aurora's potential roams; hard push waves and take plates to maximize lane advantage during her absence.

Early game

Aggressively use ranged (Q)+(E) poke to harass Aurora out of lane before level 6.
Avoid extended melee fights; use hammer form only to finish trades after successful poke.
Maintain mana and cooldowns to keep constant lane pressure and deny Aurora's farming windows.

Power spikes

Use first damage item spike to increase poke threat and pressure waves before objectives.
Respect Aurora's level 6 ultimate window; avoid committing to all-ins when her (R) is available.
Exploit Aurora's lack of quick escape after (W) by trading aggressively when it is on cooldown.

Win conditions

Use ranged poke and empowered (Q) through (E) to create health leads and deny Aurora farm.
Convert poke advantages into short burst trades with hammer form when Aurora's escape tools are down.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Aurora from scaling and leverage tempo leads to impact side lanes or objectives.
