Aurora vs Akali

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use burst trades to punish (W) cooldown and deny her safe all-in windows.
Respect Akali's level 3 (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and avoid extended trades before then.
Leverage Aurora's level 6 ultimate and first AP item to force picks and roam pressure.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by casting (Q), follow immediately with (E) for reposition and burst, then reactivate (Q).
Trade aggressively only when (W) is down or she commits with (E).
Avoid extended trades if Akali has (W) available to prevent her safe retaliation.

Danger windows

(W) creates her safest trading window and must be respected.
(E) recast is a major commit point that can punish overextensions.
After using (W), Aurora lacks a quick escape and is vulnerable to Akali's burst.

Early game

Farm safely until level 3 to avoid Akali's early (Q)-(W)-(E) power spike.
Step forward to trade with (Q) and (E) when (W) is on cooldown.
Avoid using (W) without an escape ready to prevent vulnerability to Akali's burst.

Power spikes

Respect Akali's level 3 unlock of (Q)-(W)-(E) trading with (W) safety and (E) follow-up.
Use Aurora's level 6 ultimate to increase mobility and burst for decisive all-ins.
After first AP burst item, pressure waves and trades more confidently while tracking Akali's cooldowns.

Win conditions

Punish (W) cooldown with quick (Q)-(E) burst trades to deny her safe trades.
Use Aurora's mobility and level 6 ultimate to pick off Akali or force her out of lane.
Maintain medium lane pressure to prevent Akali from freely scaling or extending trades under her shroud.

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