Aurora vs Malzahar

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use mobility and burst to punish Malzahar's predictable push and prevent his map presence.
Deny his lane control by killing Voidlings and forcing him under tower early.
Avoid getting locked down by Malzahar's suppression and spell shield windows.

Trading pattern

Trade by casting (Q), immediately follow with (E) for repositioning and damage, then reactivate (Q).
Punish after Malzahar uses (W) or when Voidlings are down to reduce his lane pressure.
Avoid extended trades when Malzahar's spell shield or (R) suppression is available.

Danger windows

(R) suppression is lethal; avoid all-ins when it's available.
After using (W), you lack a quick escape; be cautious of counter-engages.
Malzahar's passive spell shield blocks your initial damage; wait for it to expire before committing.

Early game

Pressure Malzahar under tower by killing Voidlings to disrupt his push pattern.
Avoid using (E) when it can be dodged to prevent losing trades.
Maintain wave control to limit Malzahar's safe farming and scaling potential.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks your ultimate, enabling high mobility burst and all-in windows.
First completed AP burst item increases damage and trade reliability significantly.
Respect Malzahar's level 6 (R) suppression and first mana/AP item spike to avoid lethal trades.

Win conditions

Use burst and mobility to pick off Malzahar before he establishes lane control.
Deny his scaling by killing Voidlings and forcing him under tower early.
Use your level 6 ultimate to dodge (R) and create kill or roam opportunities to snowball leads.

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