SEASON 42 PROFILE
Maiden of the GlacierPride of Ice freezes Aurora and prevents a death on a long cooldown, Frosty Breeze locks down a nearby area, and Frigid Glacier extends crowd control in a line. Her strength lies in forcing enemies to spread or take several hits together.
DATA REVIEWED 13.10.2026 · PATCH 2.2.16
HOW TO PLAY
Clear with Hailstone Blast from one side and avoid stepping forward simply because Pride of Ice is available; the passive does not guarantee an escape.
Wait for an ally to hold the target or for enemies to enter a corridor before casting Frigid Glacier. Width matters less when the route is already restricted.
While defending Lord, keep Frosty Breeze for the hero who crosses the first ice zone and reaches the back line.

Aurora blows Frosty Breeze in a fan-shaped area in the target direction, dealing 225–375 Magic Damage to enemies hit, freezing them for 1 second, and creating a frozen area at the far-end of the attack that deals a total of 225–375 Magic Damage to enemies in the area.
Aurora creates a frost path in the target direction, dealing 100–200 Magic Damage to enemies in the path and reducing their Movement Speed by 80% for 1.2 seconds. The frost path gradually becomes glaciers that spread until reaching their maximum size and shattering, dealing 600–1200 Magic Damage to all enemies in the area and freezing targets for 1 second. Every 100 Magic Power that Aurora has will increase the freeze duration by 0.2 seconds.

QUICK ANSWERS
Aurora is currently played mainly in Mid Lane. The guide separates the recommended builds by lane or job, so choose that tab before copying the six items.
Start with «Mid Freeze Burst». The other options, «Ultimate Reset Control» and «Anti-Dive Survival», are there for a different lane or match-up; they are not cosmetic variations.
Marcel, Yin and Benedetta are the first counters to consider. Valentina can steal her ultimate, while Faramis reduces the punishment of a burst that would normally end in a kill.
