Naafiri vs Aurora

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Naafiri is a medium early agency assassin who must manage poke with Q before committing all-ins with W and R.
Pressure Aurora early to deny her safe farming and picking windows, leveraging Naafiri's higher early lane pressure.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing Q to apply bleed and create a health lead before committing with W.
Punish Aurora after she uses Aurora W invisibility or when Aurora E is on cooldown since it is easy to dodge.
Use R when Aurora is isolated or low health to maximize chase and burst potential.

Danger windows

Avoid committing W when Aurora's Aurora W is available as it can dodge and punish your engage.
Be cautious when Q poke misses or is blocked, as your all-in threat diminishes.
Watch for Aurora's burst windows post-level 6 and avoid extended trades during that time.

Early game

Use Q to poke Aurora frequently to force her to farm under pressure and limit her mobility plays.
Avoid committing W unless Aurora's Aurora W or Aurora E are down to prevent being punished.
Keep the wave on your side to maintain safe angles for Q poke and threaten W engages.

Power spikes

Naafiri's level 6 R significantly boosts chase and all-in threat.
Naafiri's first lethality item spike increases Q poke and burst damage.
Respect Aurora's level 6 R for her burst and mobility increase.

Win conditions

Win lane by consistently landing Q poke to chip Aurora and then committing all-ins when her mobility or Aurora E slow is down.
Use R to catch isolated Aurora and snowball kills.
Deny Aurora safe farming by maintaining lane pressure and punishing her long Aurora E animation and lack of range.

Tip: For Naafiri vs Aurora, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
