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 K'Sante

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his third Q

    After two Ntofo Strikes (Q) hit you, back off or dodge the next one: it becomes a shockwave that stuns and pulls.

  2. Step out of his charge's line

    When he charges Path Maker (W), get out of its line: nothing stops him while he charges, then he rams straight ahead and his dash knocks back and stuns.

  3. Don't fight with your back to a wall

    Don't fight with your back to a wall when he has All Out (R): if he knocks you into it, you go through, he hits you again and follows, far from your team.

  4. Focus him during his R

    Focus him during All Out (R): he loses max health, bonus armor and bonus magic resist, but heals off his damage, so don't drag it out.
