Zoe is gonna be really annoying to play against she has really good dmg if she hits e so try to be behind the wave, if she hits you with her E you can cancel the stun just by pressing R so try to do that to suprise them (most of them Zoe mains don't know this trick so take advantage).Also you should get electrocute and teleport against zoe.
Syndra
She is a really hard match up, she's a counter cause she outscales you. If she gets Banshee's Veil you are basically cooked BUT there's a good thing if you time your R with her E you wont get cced cause you are unstopable + try to fight her with jg all the time after 6 you will be able to win her.
Irelia
irelia is the hardest one especially in top lane you just have to try and stick the wave close to your tower and never let your wave to push towards her cause then she will freeze and you wont be able to do anything about it, so vs irelia its better to look for roams if when you have the opportunity. Overall really hard cause her crazy mobility and dmg + you get electrocute standard vs this match up.
Orianna
Oriana can be pretty tough just cause she outscale's you BUT before that you kinda just have a free lane not much to say about this matchup.
Viktor
viktor is really hard to lane against since he has a really strong laning phase + scales pretty and be carefull since he outranges you HARD after a certain point of the game you just bomba him tho.
Azir
Azir is gonna be a bit hard to play against cause he has a good laning phase as well as a really good scaling so you gonna have to kill him in early levels or try to poke him out and roam cause you wont really be able to get as much kills out of him + you can buffer he's R if you time it correctly with your R, that can help you escape in some situations or even get a kill.
Katarina
Katarina is more of a skill matchup you'll need to dodge her daggers and win her through out the laning phase she will be able to 1v1 you most of the times after lvl 9 so be carefull not to feed her as much and you will be good. Play electrocute max q and ignite.
Lux
Lux is kinda easy since you have insane mobility dodge her skillshots play with your ultimate and you just basically win.
Zed
Zed before level 6 is actually a skill matchup, after level 6 tho.... he becomes a monster you won't really be able to win.
Neeko
Neeko has a pretty strong laning phase but you can just dodge her E or push the waves as hard as posible when she roams so she loses xp and you gain.Pretty fun matchup.You hard outscale care for her R and you cool.
Xerath
Xerath...
Fizz
You will be able to bully fizz in the early levels 1,2,3,4,5 but after level 6 he will be able to oneshot you if he hits hes ultimate you can cancel hes ultimate (when hitted) just by timing it correctly and going to the edge of your ult when the countdown of the shark ends overall be carefull after 6.Also ignite and teleport are both good vs fizz definitely go electrocute against him.
Sylas
Sylas is hard espesially if he has electrocute,Bone plating try dodging as many spells as possible don't play long fights since he has shorter couldown's nad you cool.
Anivia
Anivia is like bad early game but you won't really get to kill her even if she's bad early game just cause her passive and she hard outscales you if you get to kill her once try gaining map control/roam and you cool.
Cassiopeia
Cassiopeia is a lane bully against a lane bully just dodge those q's and you good to go. Not much to say about her.
Vladimir
Vladimir is easy and hard at the same time you just need to harras him on early game cause your late game vs his is not good, overall easy to beat early game late game really hard + you should get antiheal pretty fast against this match up (its good even in the first recall if you have the gold) play ignite against vlad.
Hwei
Hwei is indeed a skill matchup for the most part you can't really do much (espesially in laing phase since he just waveclears out of the whole early game) BUT late game you kinda just kill him free.
Heimerdinger
Haimer on MID is not hard to lane against and he won't really have value if he's not fed destroy turrets and you cool.
Vex
Vex is just annoying for the most part try dodging her R in order to win her since she won't really be able to catch you.Although you really outscale her i still put her in Major problem cause she can be really harmfull to you and your team.
Akshan
Good Akshan players will be tough to lane against, he can get map control pretty easily with he's w (invisibility) after a certain point you can kill him pretty easiliy tbh.
Akali
The only thing you can do to win against akali will be to make her weak before level 6 after level 6 tho she can kill you pretty easily try getting bone plating against her since she has A TON of burst.
Yasuo
Yasuo wont be that hard just try to land your Q into the enemy wave and recast them all together on him, like this you will be able to trade him very well, play only with hes mistakes.Also you should go electrocute ignite is also good if you are confident for a kill--if not just go teleport.
LeBlanc
You just need to trade her when she w's to you with Q+AA+Q recast and play behind your wave so she wont be able to hit E on you get electrocute against her will be great !
Ziggs
Ziggs will actually not let you play the whole laning phase play with Second wind (Resolve second runes) you will be behind the whole time BUT after some time you can win against him he get's weak after some point (atleast weaker than you).
Naafiri
Nafiri has become a pretty big problem for Aurora player's in mid lane since she just outdamages you and can become untargetable with her W so you need to bait her W by using 1 ability either Q or E and then you can do dmg
Ekko
Ekko is not hard to play against in lane just be carefull of level 1 trade with hail of blades level 2 and 3 are good for you cause you can outrade him just try to not get catched by he's w and you will be fine (be carefull he might do it out of vision), electrocute and teleport are good against him.
Galio
The AP Bruiser Galio will be pretty tough to play against the tank one tho won't be not much to say about this match up.
Kassadin
Pretty easy even after 6 level if he come's a bit close to you you just outrade him i would say one of the best champions to play against as Aurora he will never kill you.
Aurelion Sol
Another Champion that can't do anything anything to Aurora use your R when he uses his and try gaining map control by either invading their jungle or roaming since most of Aurelion player's play extremly safe.
Ahri
Pure skill matchup same range (Kinda) whoever hits he's abilities first wins.Not much to say about Ahri
Lissandra
Lissandra will be an annoying enemy in the laning phase you can win against her most of the times but most people when they play liss is just for teamplay's so she will be waiting for a gank that's what you need to be carefull with when playing against Lissandra.
Diana
Diana.. early game she will be somewhat easy and by saying early game i mean lvl 2.. After than she will be oneshoting you and your entire team if you ever get a chance to solo kill her that will be her downfall take advantage of missplay's and play safe..
Qiyana
Qiyana is also a skill matchup after level 6 you need to be carefull to not get caught and lvl 3 try to dodge AS MANY abilities as possible bully her in lane and she's done for the rest of the game.
Taliyah
Taliyah has a pretty intresting playstyle, Just try to not press any dash ability when she presses E get out of that and then you just outdamage her JUST BE CAREFULL LATE GAME you'll be surprised when you see her CD's
Swain
Swain is such a simple enemy he will never outdamage you, you also deal max health dmg with your passive so he is a free enemy.Not much to say
Vel'Koz
( FOR MID)Vel koz is really weak in laning phase early game so try to punish that by playing inside your wave and dont let him poke you as much after lvl 6 be carefull cause he has dmg in this state of the game,Arcane comet E max is really good against vel'koz.
Jayce
Jayce wont be able to do much hes really weak early game before lvl 5 and try to stand behind the wave so he wont be able to Q+E you the only thing you need to do is dont let him farm as much as possible
Malzahar
Malzahar is a free lane he's somewhat like Lissandra all Malzahar player's are playing get ganked many times and make 1 person from the enemy team worthless.
Veigar
Veigar can be a bit of a problem but in most cases you kill him not many veigar player's know how to play against Aurora (after your level 6 you just dominate the lane) press R when he presses E since you can't get cought on he's E and you basically just get a free kill
Talon
Talon won't be able to do pretty much nothing to an Aurora espesially in the laning phase rather than that he presses R you press R you get away while doing dmg and after that talon without ultimate is pretty useless so you can take advantage of that.Just be carefull since Talon's R dosen't really have a large cd.
Twisted Fate
( FOR MID)Twisted Fate also has a weak laning phase so you will be able to control the wave and outrading him basically at any time, the perfect time to trade him would be when he tries to q the cs.both electrocute and arcane comet are good against Twisted Fate.
Mel
Mel can be a little bit tough although in the laning phase you just need to NOT do Q+E Combo all in since she can use her shield (W) to protect herself.
The best thing you can do against her is A+A+E with that combo even if she uses her Shield you can then Q her and she will take a lot of damage even if she dosen't Shield your A+A+E combo she we still recieve a lot of damage.
Kayle
Kayle is not gonna be hard espesially in laning phase just try to not let her scale by keeping the wave towards YOUR tower and zone her.Just be carefull since after a certain point of the game she can just run you down..
Ryze
Ryze is a pretty bad matchup for Aurora he's extremly tanky and has a lot of movement speed with most builds. so he's also hard to track and even if you do track him you still won't outdamage him..
Amumu
Amumu is the best jgler with aurora he has cc he can also get abyssal mask to help you deal more dmg hes a tank while beeing able to do some dmg and hes good for ganks.
Jarvan IV
Jarvan is also good for ganks so he can help you hes ad he can get antishield he can trap people with hes R wich can reasult to some really good combos
and you can really get map control fast with him
Viego
Hes also ad good for ganks can help you win fights and is really good for teamfights.
Skarner
has cc + he's ad can do ganks pretty easily and if he can do a good R its basically over for the enemy team since you guarantee hit a lot of people in one combo
Karthus
Too much ap and Aurora isnt good with junglers that are also high ap damage champions, enemies will get to much MR and then you will be cooked
Evelynn
Too much ap and Aurora isnt good with junglers that are also high ap damage champions, enemies will get to much MR and then you will be cooked
Lillia

Kayn is good cause he can also snowball hes ad he can do good and easy ganks since the enemy will normally push you.

Hii I'm Peek A Boo and I currently have the most mastery on Aurora (EUNE).
My peak rank is Master, and the reason I made this guide is just because I want to see even more fellow Aurora mains or even OTPs.
So I'm just making this guide to help some of the people that might need it.
- Good Waveclear - Insane Mobility - High Burst Damage - Decent Scaling - Really Good To OTP - Really fun to play - Utility - Lane bully - Really good early game
CONS
- Skillshot Reliant - Really Squishy - Weak Against Stuns - Low Range - Mana dependence - Low cc
Aurora's Passive: Damaging basic attacks and abilities apply a stack of Spirit Abjuration for 4 seconds (refreshes on hit, up to 3 stacks). On 3 stacks, they’re consumed to deal bonus magic damage equal to 2.5% of the target’s max health.
Aurora’s Q: A skillshot that fires a bolt of energy dealing magic damage and cursing enemies for 3.5 seconds. You can recast after hitting a target. Recast: She recalls the curse, sending spirit bolts back that damage enemies they pass through. Requires 60 mana. Great for plays and combos.
Aurora’s W: Hops into a portal and becomes invisible in the Spirit Realm, gaining movement speed. The ability resets on takedown. Costs 80 mana. Great for escapes, chases, and jukes — use carefully!
Aurora’s E: Fires a blast in a line and dashes backward 250 units. The blast slows by 80% (decays over 1 sec). Costs 80 mana. Great for zoning, escaping, or setting up a combo!
Aurora’s R: Dashes forward (Unstoppable), then unleashes a pulse 425 units ahead. Deals AoE damage and slows by 30% for 2 sec. Grants Realm Hopper for 4 sec. A high-impact teamfight tool.
Zed will be your best choice in terms of bans when you're playing Aurora since his R makes it really hard for you to play. And he's overall a nice champion to NOT have in your enemy team.
Katarina can also be really tough, not to lane against but to play against since after lvl 9-11 she can kill you really easily and that makes her a nice ban when you're playing Aurora.
Diana after all of her buffs will be extremely hard to play against her as Aurora. She's a nice ban and maybe it can even help your jungle (since she can also play jungle).
⚠️ NOTE
THIS COMBO IS REALLY HARD TO ACTUALLY PULL OFF IN GAME
(It costs a lot — Flash, R, and comes with the risk of misplaying and losing the game.)
⚠️ NOTE
THIS ONE IS KINDA EASIER
(And it doesn’t cost so much resources — CAN ALSO BE MISSPLAYED)
WARDING SPOTS
These are my personal favourite places to place Stealth Wards when playing Aurora.
Don't forget to always place your Stealth Wards and buy Control Wards — Since vision can give you and your team a huge advantage over the enemy
There are some thing's that you can do as Aurora Mid Game. One of them is using your W to go invisible and surprise the enemy with damage they can’t react to. If you keep doing this, enemies will be forced to recall due to low HP, leading to guaranteed objectives. You should also play around your team since your R is great for teamfights due to the slow and damage it applies.
In the laning phase, your playstyle depends on runes. With Electrocute (Q max), poke early with Q1 + AA + Q2, or Q + E + Q2. You can add W if you have the mana. With Arcane Comet (E max, vs ranged), open with AA + AA + E to proc Comet, Scorch, and Passive. At level 3, use W+E combos to trigger Sudden Impact and secure big trades.
Another tactic mid game is sneaking around with W for constant poke. Every time the enemy has to recall, your team can go for drakes, towers, or set up vision. If the enemy mid or ADC can’t walk up, it’s your opportunity to shift the momentum.
THE END
Hope you did learn something out of my guide!
Looking forward to make a guide for Aurora Top.
Also, if you could recommend this guide to others I would really appreciate that.
