💡 Spirit Synergy: 3rd passive stack deals 1% (+ 2.7% per 100 AP) max health damage and spawns Spirits that heal 12-88 (+ 8% AP) per tick with 4 Spirits!
🐰 Passive: Spirit Abjuration
INNATE: Aurora’s damaging basic attacks and abilities apply a stack of Spirit Abjuration to enemies for 4 seconds, refreshing on subsequent applications and stacking up to 3 times. The third stack against a target consumes them all to deal bonus magic damage equal to 1% (+ 2.7% per 100 AP) of the target’s maximum health, capped at 100 – 290 (based on level) against monsters.
Upon consuming the stacks from a champion, Aurora additionally exorcises them, freeing a Spirit from the target that follows her for the same duration. For each active Spirit, Aurora is healed for 3 – 22 (based on level) (+ 2% AP) every second. Subsequent exorcisms free further Spirits and refresh all active Spirits. Aurora may have up to 4 Spirits at a time, for a maximum heal per tick of 12 – 88 (based on level) (+ 8% AP).

Subsequent bolts against an enemy deal 20% damage.

👻 E: Across the Veil
Cost: 80 Mana | Cooldown: 22 / 21 / 20 / 19 / 18s | Cast Time: NONE | Range: 300 / 450
ACTIVE: Aurora hops in the target direction inside a portal to the Spirit Realm. Upon completing the dash, she becomes invisible for a duration and gains Realm Hopper for 4 seconds.
REALM HOPPER: Aurora becomes ghosted and gains bonus movement speed for the duration.
| Parameter | Value |
| Invisibility Duration | 1 / 1.15 / 1.3 / 1.45 / 1.6 seconds |
| Bonus Movement Speed | 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40% |

🌌 R: Between Worlds (Ultimate)
Cost: 100 Mana | Cooldown: 140 / 120 / 100s | Cast Time: NONE | Range: 25 / 250 / 450
ACTIVE: Aurora leaps in the target direction with displacement immunity over 0.4 seconds. She then gains Realm Hopper for a duration and unleashes a shockwave from 425 units in front of her, expanding over 0.75 seconds to deal magic damage to enemies hit and slow them by 30% for 2 seconds.
| Parameter | Value |
| Magic Damage | 175 / 275 / 375 (+ 70% AP) |
| Realm Hopper Duration | 3.5 / 4.25 / 5 seconds |
| Rift Duration | 1.75 / 2.5 / 3.25 seconds |
The shockwave leaves behind a circular rift to the Spirit Realm for a duration, forming borders that interact with Aurora and enemies. If Aurora collides with the border, she dashes to the diametrically opposite side of the rift over 0.4 seconds, becoming untargetable and unable to act during the travel. If an enemy collides with the border, they are slowed by 50% for a duration.
💡 Pro Tip: Use R rift borders to dash through enemies! Hit border → teleport to opposite side. Enemies hitting border = 50% slow. Zone control!
🎯 Strategies and Gameplay Tips
Early Game (Levels 1-6)

Mid Game (Levels 7-13)
