Hey guys I'm Shok, multi Rank 1 Challenger mid laner and content creator! I played league professionally from 2017-2021 and have been rank 1 OCE in multiple seasons, rank 13 on NA in season 9. Challenger EU and 1019 LP Korea 2024.

I upload regularly on YouTube, and stream everyday on Twitch so feel free to follow me on either of those platforms :)

The laning phase on Aurora largely depends on if you're playing the normal electrocute Q max build or comet E max build (into longer ranged mages). If you're playing electrocute Q max, look to trade mainly around electrocute normally with QE and proccing electrocute with the second Q. At level 1 you can Q1 auto Q2 to proc electrocute. It's very difficult for people to trade back because electrocute + sudden impact + scorch is so strong, and your trading pattern naturally disengages you.

If you're playing comet E max then you will just trade around your E/comet CD. It's a very long cooldown so make sure to wait until it's guaranteed (they walk up for CS or try harass you). If you have scorch you will also proc sudden impact with just your E, so you can trade a lot of damage from fairly far away.

Post 6 if your opponent gets too low you can all in them with R and usually force a flash, alternatively just wait for river fights/jungle gank then you can commit your R to that instead.

In the mid game as Aurora you will want to do your best to continue to keep up your gold/xp while also being at all the major objective fights. The best way to do this is try shove the side wave as far as you can without dying. If you don't have TP up, it can be a good idea to group with your team instead and just catch sidewaves when they are going to crash on your tower until your TP comes back up. If your sidelane matchup is really easy + your team is winning and you have vision then sidelaning should be very easy, if the opposite of these things are true then you will need to be a lot safer on side. You have a fair amount of mobility as Aurora so you might just be able to ult + W away, but that means you won't have your R CD for a fight. When you've pushed the wave as far as you can generally look to get a flank on mid, or if no one is defending the tower + you have vision maybe you can put some pressure here.

Aurora mainly teamfights as a secondary engage burst champion. You want to hit R on as many people as possible, but ideally squishies. The easiest way to do this is to try get a flank or follow up on someone elses engage. You can primary engage, but have to be careful as you may be immediately one shot if they have CC nearby. If you aren't playing the burst build then you will instead look to just kite back rather than looking to dive onto their ADCs and use your ult more for the slow/peel than the burst damage.

Most of Aurora's teamfighting skill comes from before the teamfight. You want to get the sidelane shoved out, find a flank position and also be strong enough to actually threaten the backline. Once you get fed the teamfights mostly play themselves as long as you're patient and wait for specific CCs on the enemy team to be used before you go in.

That's all for this guide, but if you want to see more of my Aurora content there is a video guide and several gameplay videos on my YouTube channel, and if you want to ask me questions about Aurora feel free to drop by my Twitch or send me a message on discord (shokoce)
