INTRODUCTION
Hii I'm Peek A Boo, also known as nine roses, and I currently have the most mastery points on Aurora and managed to reach rank 1 (WITH AURORA) on EUNE.
My peak rank is Grandmaster, and the reason I created this guide is to see even more fellow Aurora mains or OTPs.
Hope this guide helps yall understand Aurora a bit better!

AURORA'S ABILITIES

Aurora's Passive: Damaging basic attacks and abilities apply a stack of Spirit Abjuration for 4 seconds (refreshes on hit, up to 3 stacks). On 3 stacks, they’re consumed to deal bonus magic damage equal to 2.5% of the target’s max health.
Aurora’s Q: A skillshot that fires a bolt of energy dealing magic damage and cursing enemies for 3.5 seconds. You can recast after hitting a target. Recast: She recalls the curse, sending spirit bolts back that damage enemies they pass through. Requires 60 mana. Great for plays and combos.
Aurora’s W: Hops into a portal and becomes invisible in the Spirit Realm, gaining movement speed. The ability resets on takedown. Costs 80 mana. Great for escapes, chases, and jukes — use carefully!
Aurora’s E: Fires a blast in a line and dashes backward 250 units. The blast slows by 80% (decays over 1 sec). Costs 80 mana. Great for zoning, escaping, or setting up a combo!
Aurora’s R: Dashes forward (Unstoppable), then unleashes a pulse 425 units ahead. Deals AoE damage and slows by 30% for 2 sec. Grants Realm Hopper for 4 sec. A high-impact teamfight tool.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
BANS

Zed will be your best choice in terms of bans when you're playing Aurora since his R makes it really hard for you to play. And he's overall a nice champion to NOT have in your enemy team.
Katarina can also be really tough, not to lane against but to play against since after lvl 9-11 she can kill you really easily and that makes her a nice ban when you're playing Aurora.
Diana after all of her buffs will be extremely hard to play against her as Aurora. She's a nice ban and maybe it can even help your jungle (since she can also play jungle).

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
AURORA'S BEST SKINS (RANKED)


────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Below are Aurora’s skins ranked from best to worst based on feel, visuals, and smoothness.


#1 — BATTLE BUNNY AURORA



Cutest skin. Flashy effects, fun sounds, and extremely smooth spell animations.
The best-feeling Aurora skin overall.
#2 — DEFAULT AURORA



Clean visuals with the most “Aurora-like” identity.
Great clarity on abilities and very consistent gameplay.
#3 — ARCANA AURORA



Not a bad skin at all, but it doesn’t really satisfy me personally.
It has smooth effects and a darker vibe (the chromas are actually really good).
Still slightly less clear than the other two.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

MY OWN OPINION:
Battle Bunny Aurora is by far the best choice if you care about smoothness and enjoyment.
Default Aurora is honestly underrated and feels way better than people expect.
Arcana Aurora looks cool, but in game it just doesn’t hit the same for me.


⚠️ NOTE
THIS COMBO IS REALLY HARD TO ACTUALLY PULL OFF IN GAME
(It costs a lot — Flash, R, and comes with the risk of misplaying and giving the enemies a free kill.)

 

 
EXPLANATION / TUTORIAL
This is a video that just showcases the abilities that I'm using on those 2 clips
(I'M GONNA UPLOAD A LOT MORE VIDEOS IN THE FUTURE.)

 

 
⚠️ NOTE
THIS ONE IS KINDA EASIER
(And it doesn’t cost any resources — CAN ALSO BE MISSPLAYED)

 
RUNES
────────────────────────────────────────────

DOMINATION
────────────────────────────────────────────

╔════════════════════════╗
║ Recommended as the main rune ║
╚════════════════════════╝


Electrocute
────────────────
Electrocute is Aurora's best rune since it deals bonus adaptive damage after a champion lands three separate attacks or abilities on an enemy champion within a 3 second window. Aurora can do that pretty easily since her Q adds 2 stacks. It's the best laning phase rune for Aurora and also the strongest overall since she can proc it pretty easily and it adds bonus damage on top of your combo. You can also create a lot more combo variations with this rune to apply even more damage to enemies.


Sudden Impact
────────────────
Sudden Impact is Aurora's best "small rune" (in the first category) since it grants bonus true damage to an enemy champion after using a dash, blink, or teleport, or after exiting stealth. So you can apply some true damage to the enemy overall. Really useful not only in the laning phase but also throughout the game (except late game, but it still adds some damage).


Taste of Blood
────────────────
Taste of Blood is not really that good for Aurora although you can still take it because it can help you in some matchups that poke you a lot like Syndra, Orianna, etc. Wouldn't really recommend though.


Grisly Mementos
────────────────
Grisly Mementos is just the best rune out of all the new 3 that came. Just choose this instead of the others.


Ultimate Hunter
────────────────
Ultimate Hunter is a MUST have "small rune" for Aurora since it reduces your Ultimate Ability cooldown by 20s. As we all know, Aurora's ultimate is just too good, so having a lower cooldown on it really helps.


SORCERY
────────────────────────────────────────────

╔════════════════════════╗
║ Recommended as a secondary rune! ║
╚════════════════════════╝


Arcane Comet
────────────────
Although I wouldn't really recommend going Arcane Comet on Aurora nowadays since her nerfs, you can still get it ONLY if you are not really confident with Electrocute yet.


Celerity
────────────────
Celerity is surprisingly a REALLY good "small rune" for Aurora since it gives you more movement speed, which you NEED especially at top lane. It's a must-have rune, but with this rune most of the time I would recommend buying Boots of Swiftness.


Transcendence
────────────────
Transcendence is also a nice rune for Aurora. Even though Celerity is kinda better, Transcendence will give you some more power in teamfights since you receive 20% of your cooldowns back. Playing an ability haste build with this rune is a must!


────────────────────────────────────────────
Unfortunately I don't consider any of the other Sorcery runes "good"
────────────────────────────────────────────


PRECISION
────────────────────────────────────────────

╔════════════════════════╗
║ Recommended as a secondary rune! ║
╚════════════════════════╝


Presence of Mind
────────────────
Presence of Mind is a classic rune for assassin/mages. I would get this if the enemies have a team that I can 1v2 the jungler and the enemy midlaner in lane (would recommend getting this only in mid lane and not top). Also good for W reset since it gives you 15% of your max mana back after an elimination, so that's enough for a W.


Legend: Alacrity
────────────────
Legend: Alacrity some people might find it a bit weird that I'm even adding this to the guide, BUT I tried it in so many games and it's actually really decent, especially at top.But you'll run out of mana pretty fast, so you need to be really careful with how you use your mana since you won't have a rune supporting you nor an item if you buy Stormsurge. Overall, you can kite enemies and apply more passives to enemies!


Cut Down
────────────────
Cut Down is a really nice "small rune" since it does a lot of damage, especially on champions with really high health. Overall really good because you also have some maximum health damage, but you also have missing health damage with your second Q2, so it really stacks up, making it a really good rune for Aurora when you're using Precision.


HOW TO PLAY AURORA MID


────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
LANING PHASE / EARLY GAME



Aurora is a VERY strong early-game champion, and that’s something you should always keep in mind.
You can win most 2v2 skirmishes around mid lane (this heavily depends on your jungler’s champion, of course).

If your jungler wants to:
Invade
Contest river
Gank mid

You should usually be ready to help.

As a mid laner, lane priority is key. Always track whether you can push faster than the enemy mid laner.
If you have priority, you can:
• Roam
• Invade with your jungler
• Help secure vision

If the enemy mid laner follows without priority, they sacrifice their wave for a potential play — which is exactly why Aurora is so strong mid.
She can one-shot waves quickly and immediately look for plays elsewhere on the map.


────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
MID GAME



(Aurora really peaks here)

Mid game usually happens around 13–17 minutes.
Most concepts stay the same:
• Lane priority
• Enemy jungler tracking
• Roaming windows

However, what makes Aurora especially strong in mid game is her side-laning.

Side-laning as Aurora is very straightforward:
If enemies try to collapse on you, you have multiple escape tools.
You can often bait multiple enemies and waste a lot of their time.

IMPORTANT: Only do this if your team is playing for objectives.
If no objectives are up, wasting enemy time has much less value.

Always remember:
Push side waves.
When waves are pushed, enemies are forced to respond (wich if they don't they lose..) — giving you windows to:
• Roam
• Invade
• Take objectives

Lane priority is a really important mechanic in Season 16.


────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
LATE GAME



(This is where OTP Aurora players truly shine)

In late game, Aurora can one-shot most champions, especially squishy targets.
She excels at reaching the enemy backline, making her a deadly assassin in teamfights.

Your main focus should be:
• Picks
• Vision control
• Lane priority

You can still play aggressively, but smart aggression is key.
Always look for opportunities where you can punish mispositioning and secure objectives with your team.

WARDING SPOTS
 
These are my personal favourite places to place Stealth Wards when playing Aurora.
Don't forget to always place your Stealth Wards and buy Control Wards — Since vision can give you and your team a huge advantage over the enemy

 
THE END

 
Hope you did learn something out of my guide!
Looking forward to make a guide for Aurora Top.
Also, if you could recommend this guide to others I would really appreciate that.
If you have any specific question feel free to add me on league or even comment on the guide.And i actually wanted to hear your guys opinion to if i should start streaming Aurora gameplay on Twitch + guides on yt etc. IF you guys want another Aurora streamer feel free to tell me.
