Playing against Aurora

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Get out of her R zone quickly if possible — Flash or dash out before you get trapped.

2

Her W has a long cooldown — once she uses it, she's vulnerable to engages and CC.

3

Aurora is fragile without her cooldowns: if she uses Q and W, force the trade because she has no answer left.
