Aurora Champion Abilities

Spirit Abjuration

Damaging an enemy 3 times with spells or attacks exorcises them, dealing 2.5% (+2% per 100 ability power) magic damage and, if the enemy is a champion, frees a spirit that follows Aurora for 4 seconds, healing her for 3−20 (+2% of ability power) health every second (depending on level).

For every additional spirit following Aurora, the healing is increased up to 4 times for a total of 12-80 (+8% of ability power) health every second (depending on level). P

Twofold Hex

Fire cursed energy in a direction, dealing 45 / 70 / 95 / 120 / 145 (+40% of ability power) magic damage to enemies and cursing them for 3.5 seconds.

Aurora can Recast this ability at any time or it will automatically recast when the duration ends which ends the curse, drawing back part of the enemy's spirit to Aurora, dealing up to 67.5 / 105 / 142.5 / 180 / 217.5 (+60% of ability power) magic damage to enemies passed through depending on their missing health. Damage beyond the first hit is reduced to 20%. Q

Across the Veil

Hop in a direction. Upon landing, enter the spirit realm, becoming invisible for 1 / 1.15 / 1.3 / 1.45 / 1.6 seconds and entering Realm Hopper, granting 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40% bonus movement speed for the duration.

Scoring a takedown on an enemy champion will reset this ability's cooldown. W

The Weirding

Converge the realms, sending out a blast of spirit magic dealing 70 / 110 / 150 / 190 / 230 (+80% of ability power) magic damage to enemies in the area and slowing them by 80% decaying over 1 second.

Aurora will hop backwards a short distance after casting. E

Between Worlds

Leap in a direction. Upon landing, Aurora gains 15−40% (depending on Across the Veil's rank) bonus movement speed for 4 seconds and converges the realms, sending out a pulse of spirit energy that deals 175 / 275 / 375 (+60% of ability power) magic damage and slows enemies hit by 30% for 2 seconds.

The area of convergence stays active for 1.75 / 2.5 / 3.25 seconds, empowering Aurora's Spirit Mode and allowing her to jump from one edge of the area to another. Enemies attempting to exit the area are slowed by 50% for 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 seconds.

Aurora can Recast this ability to end the effect early. R

Aurora Tips and Tricks

Constantly harass the enemy with your Q and E, aiming your abilities to both push the wave and poke at the same time. Look for fights in areas where enemies are forced close together, such as the Dragon or Baron pit or in the jungle. Use your Ultimate proactively to make plays, push the lane, and roam to assist your allies or Jungler.
