Aurora vs Lucian

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Exploit Aurora's burst and mobility to punish Lucian's short-range poke windows.
Avoid extended fights where Lucian's passive double shots and dash give him advantage.
Focus on picking off Lucian after he uses (E) aggressively or misses cooldowns.

Trading pattern

Trade by casting (Q), repositioning with (E), then reactivating (Q) to maximize burst.
Avoid using (E) when likely to be dodged; punish Lucian if he wastes (E) forward.
After using (W), respect Lucian's burst window as Aurora lacks quick escape.

Danger windows

(E) dash forward combined with support setup creates high burst risk.
After Aurora uses (W), she has no quick escape; avoid overextending.
(R) can finish targets pushed out of position; respect his positioning and cooldowns.

Early game

Contest level 2 trades carefully since (E) dash and passive burst are strongest.
Use small wave states to look for (Q)+(E) trades before Lucian can safely dash in.
Avoid pushing too hard early to prevent Lucian and support from setting up burst trades.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for high mobility and burst; use it for picks or defensive resets.
First completed AP burst item increases damage and wave pressure; trade more confidently then.
Track Lucian's first item timing to avoid losing trades against his burst windows.

Win conditions

Use (R) to create pick or roam opportunities, leveraging Aurora's mobility.
Punish Lucian's cooldowns, especially after he uses (E) aggressively.
Pressure waves confidently after first AP item to deny Lucian free scaling and force recalls.

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