Warwick vs Aurora

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Warwick should leverage his early dueling strength to pressure Aurora and deny her safe farming windows.
Focus on extended melee fights to out-sustain and punish Aurora's relatively low range and dodgable (E).
This is a snowball matchup where Warwick aims to dominate early and prevent Aurora from scaling safely.

Trading pattern

Engage in melee range trades, using (E) to fear and absorb burst, then follow with (Q) to heal through damage.
Avoid using (E) prematurely before Aurora commits her burst to maximize damage reduction.
After Aurora uses (W) or misses (E), step forward aggressively to punish her vulnerability.

Danger windows

Beware of Aurora's level 6 ultimate window where her burst and mobility spike; play cautiously and save (E) for defensive fear.
Avoid fighting when (E) is on cooldown, as burst damage from Aurora becomes more threatening.
Be cautious after missing (R), as your pick threat drops and Aurora can retaliate or disengage safely.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to take extended trades using (Q) healing and hold (E) to absorb Aurora's burst.
Punish Aurora after she uses (W) since she loses her quick escape tool.
Keep the wave on your side to force Aurora into risky farm positions and limit her pick potential.

Power spikes

At level 3, Warwick gains full kit for strong sustain and fear, enabling dominant extended trades; use (E) and (Q) to outlast Aurora.
At level 6, use (R) to suppress and pick off Aurora when she cannot dodge, forcing all-ins or kills.
Respect Aurora's level 6 (R) burst and mobility; avoid committing without cooldowns and punish after she expends it.

Win conditions

Snowball early extended trades by leveraging (Q) healing and (E) fear to out-sustain and punish Aurora's dodgable (E).
Use (W) to track low-health Aurora and force picks with (R) suppression when she overextends.
Deny Aurora safe farm by controlling wave and punishing after she uses (W), preventing her from scaling into her mid-game power spikes.
