Aurora vs Gragas

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Aurora is a mobile mage assassin with medium lane pressure who must manage burst windows and avoid poke that denies her farm.
Focus on scaling and teamfight impact while preventing Gragas from using short trades to sustain and control the lane.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) followed by (E) repositioning and reactivate (Q) for burst trades, but avoid using (E) if Gragas is ready to counter.
Punish Gragas after he wastes (E) or when his passive sustain is on cooldown by stepping forward for short trades.
Avoid trading immediately after using (W) as Aurora loses her quick escape and can be punished.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun engage and (R) displacement, especially when combined with his passive sustain in short trades.
Be cautious after using (W) since Aurora lacks a quick escape and is vulnerable to counter-engages.
Avoid extended fights when Gragas's passive is up, as he can heal and reset trades effectively.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 since (E) is easily dodged and Gragas can punish missed engages.
Use wave control to maintain a safe farming position without overcommitting to trades.
Track (E) cooldown and only engage when it is down to reduce his burst threat.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) for high mobility and burst to secure picks or escape, and avoid committing if (R) is available.
After completing the first AP burst item, pressure the wave and trades more confidently to capitalize on increased damage.
Respect Gragas's level 6 (R) displacement and avoid engaging when it is ready to prevent being isolated or knocked into his team.

Win conditions

Use verified cooldown windows on Gragas, especially after he misses (E), to secure burst trades and deny his lane control.
Leverage level 6 (R) to create pick opportunities or safely disengage from unfavorable fights.
Focus on scaling into teamfights where Aurora's mobility and burst can disrupt Gragas and his team effectively.
