What makes Aurora dangerous
Aurora curses with Q and recalls the curse for a second hit, hops into the spirit realm (W) becoming invisible with speed, blasts and hops backward with E, and her ultimate creates a huge slow zone she can teleport across — inside it she's uncatchable, kiting forever. Exorcised spirits heal her constantly.
How to play against Aurora
- 1Save one CC for her W blink — she's visible for a beat before vanishing.
- 2Step OUT of her ult zone: outside it she loses the teleport edges and the kite.
- 3Punish her early mana hunger with sustained trades.
- 4Her heal scales with spirits — burst her before she farms them off your team.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Squishy assassin-mage stats.
- ✓The ult is a fixed zone — fighting outside it removes her advantage.
- ✓W invisibility is short and has a long cooldown.
- ✓Sustained tankiness beats her burst-kite pattern.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Aurora's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
Abschwörung der GeisterAuroras Fähigkeiten und Angriffe befreien Geister aus Gegnern, denen sie Schaden zufügt. Die ausgetriebenen Geister folgen Aurora überall hin und heilen sie.
Strong: damaged enemies release spirits that heal her constantly. Weak: the heal needs uptime — burst beats her drip sustain.
Q
Hex, hex!Aurora entsendet ein Geschoss, das jeden getroffenen Gegner verhext. Dann kann sie die Fähigkeit reaktivieren, um aktive Verhexungen zu sich zurückzuholen und unterwegs getroffenen Gegnern Schaden zuzufügen.
Strong: a curse that returns for a second hit on recast. Weak: the return telegraphs — sidestep the second tick.
W
Durch den SchleierAurora springt in eine beliebige Richtung, betritt bei der Landung das Geisterreich, wird kurzzeitig unsichtbar und erhält währenddessen erhöhtes Lauftempo.
Strong: an invisible hop with speed — her ambush and escape. Weak: brief and cooldown-bound — bait it, then lock her down.
E
GeisterstundeAurora vereint die beiden Welten und entfesselt eine Welle aus Geisterenergie, die Gegnern Schaden zufügt und sie verlangsamt, bevor Aurora zurück in Sicherheit hüpft.
Strong: a slowing blast that hops her backward to safety. Weak: the self-knockback is fixed — cut off her landing spot.
R
Zwischen den WeltenAurora springt in eine beliebige Richtung und entfesselt eine Schockwelle, die getroffenen Gegnern Schaden zufügt und sie verlangsamt. Anschließend erzeugt sie einen Bereich, in dem Gegner verlangsamt werden, und der es Aurora ermöglicht, sich von einer Seite zur anderen zu teleportieren.
Strong: a huge slow zone she teleports across — an inescapable kite pen. Weak: only SHE benefits inside — step out and fight at the rim.
Itemization
Fight outside her ult, hold CC for the W hop, and bring MR + sustain. Don't chase the rabbit through her own zone.
