Aurora Mid guide

Aurora mid curses a target with Twofold Hex (Q), harasses with The Weirding (E), and uses Across the Veil (W) to vanish into the spirit realm before the return trade lands, while Spirit Abjuration (passive) exorcises spirits off every enemy she damages and heals her from them.

The build

Rune page: Electrocute, Taste of Blood, Grisly Mementos, and Ultimate Hunter (Domination), with Transcendence and Manaflow Band (Sorcery). Summoners: Flash and Teleport. Skill order opens Twofold Hex (Q), then The Weirding (E), then Across the Veil (W), maxing Twofold Hex (Q) first with The Weirding (E) second. Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Luden's Echo, Shadowflame, Rabadon's Deathcap, with Hextech Rocketbelt, Stormsurge, and Dark Seal as later options.

Ability mechanics

Twofold Hex (Q) sends out a missile that curses whoever it hits, then can be recast to draw active curses back toward Aurora, damaging anyone hit along the way. The Weirding (E) converges the realms in a blast that damages and slows before Aurora hops backward to safety. Between Worlds (R) leaps her forward with a damaging, slowing shockwave, then leaves behind a slowing zone she can teleport across from one side to the other.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Zed, Yasuo, Syndra, Katarina, Ahri. Best matchups: Locke, Sylas, Viktor.
