Jayce into Auroramedium

Overview

Use Jayce's ranged poke and form swaps to deny Aurora farm and snowball lane control.
Pressure Aurora's low range by maintaining lane priority and punishing her long animation.
Focus on quick burst trades after landing empowered through poke.

Start trades with ranged + poke and only switch to hammer form when invisibility is down.
Dodge Aurora's long animation to punish immediately with poke.
Avoid trades after missing empowered or when low on mana to prevent burst punishment.

Beware when Aurora's is available; her burst and mobility spike.
Avoid hammer form trades when mana is low or empowered is missed to reduce punish risk.
Watch for Aurora roams; hard push and take plates to maximize lane advantage during her absence.

Aggressively poke with + before level 6 to zone Aurora off CS.
Avoid extended hammer form fights; only commit after successful poke damage.
Manage mana and cooldowns to keep constant pressure and deny Aurora safe farming windows.

First damage item spike heightens poke threat; use it to pressure waves before objectives.
Respect Aurora's level 6 window; avoid committing to all-ins during this time.
Exploit Aurora's lack of quick escape after cooldown by trading aggressively.

Use ranged poke and empowered through to create health leads and deny farm.
Convert poke advantages into short burst trades with hammer form when Aurora's escape tools are down.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Aurora from scaling and leverage tempo leads for side-lane or objective impact.
