Aurora is a versatile assassin who excels in the midlane, combining high mobility, damage, stealth, and engagement potential. Her kit offers numerous tactical possibilities while remaining mechanically straightforward.

Ability Overview:

  • Passive: 3-hit system (attacks or abilities) dealing bonus max health damage. Triggering on champions spawns healing spirits (max 4) lasting 4 seconds.
  • Q: Cursable skillshot that can be reactivated to return projectiles, dealing missing health damage.
  • W: Directional jump with stealth and movement speed boost; resets on kills/assists.
  • E: Area damage with slow and knockback effect.
  • R: Short dash creating a circular field that damages enemies and slows escapees. Aurora can portal through the field's edge twice.

Skill Order Priority: R > Q > E > W (Some players prefer E before Q)
