Playing as Aurora

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poke, then pull your hex back

    Poke with Twofold Hex (Q), then recast it once the target has lost health: the hex passes back through them and deals more damage the more health they're missing.

  2. Vanish at the right moment

    Cast Across the Veil (W) to dodge a skillshot or break a chase: you leap and turn invisible briefly, and a takedown resets its cooldown.

  3. Keep them in your zone

    Cast Between Worlds (R) in the middle of grouped enemies: those trying to enter or leave the area are slowed, which keeps them under your team's spells.

  4. Jump from edge to edge

    Inside Between Worlds (R), teleport from one edge to the other to dodge skillshots and reposition, as long as the area lasts.

Playing against Ekko

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Avoid his third hit

    Take short trades: his third hit on you, auto or spell, triggers Z-Drive Resonance (passive), with bonus damage and a burst of speed.

  2. Leave his Q field

    When Timewinder (Q) expands on you, leave the field: it slows you, and the device hits you again on its way back to him.

  3. Get out of his sphere

    Leave the Parallel Convergence (W) sphere as soon as it appears: if he steps into it, it stuns every enemy inside.

  4. Aim where he'll reappear

    When he's low, don't chase him blindly: Chronobreak (R) brings him back to where he was 4 seconds earlier and damages nearby enemies. Ready your spells on that spot.
