Since the January 2024 update, the revamped Aurora has become difficult to deal with in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. The mage character not only got remodeled but also received major buffs in aspects such as damage output and area-of-effect (AoE).
Aurora’s build relies on a high Magic attribute for boosting her skill power which can apply Freeze or Slow on enemies or turrets. A dominant force in the Mid Lane, players who come across perfect-build Aurora are seldom able to overpower her. However, each Hero in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has a weakness and this guide will focus on how to counter revamped Aurora.
How To Counter Revamped Aurora In Mobile Legends: Bang Bang?
Aurora can be annoying in MLBB. In the beginning, she can hit minions from afar with her AoE skills and retreat, slowly building her Ultimate for a big push. While approaching the mage character head-on isn’t the best option, you can use bushes to conceal your Hero and ambush at the right moment.
Assassin characters like Helcurt, Hayabusa, and Fanny are the best counters for revamped Aurora in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. Here is a detailed analysis of how to counter Aurora with these assassins:-
- Helcurt: With the help of his blink, Helcurt can teleport to a targeted location and hit Aurora to slow her movement. He can then unleash a flurry of attacks to defeat the maiden.
- Hayabusa: Hayabusa has both ranged and dash abilities that can be used for offense or sidestepping the AoE attacks of Aurora. He also applies Slow: a major advantage against mages.
- Fanny: With proper play, Fanny will be an elusive mastermind who cannot only dodge Aurora’s skills but also use her skills to engage in close combat.
Revamped Aurora’s effectiveness can also be curbed by using anti-mage items available in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. Such items provide magic resistance, which is crucial for surviving her AoE attacks.
- Athena Shield: +900 HP, +2 HP Regen, and +62 Magic Defense.
- Tough Boots: +40 Movement Speed and +22 Magic Defense.
- Rose Gold Meteor: 10% Lifesteal, +60 Physical Attack, and +30 Magic Defense.
- Oracle: +850 HP, +10% CD Reduction, and +42 Magic Defense.
- Cursed Helmet: +1200 HP and +25% Magic Defense.
Aurora’s Frigid Glacier Ultimate deals massive Magic Damage and also creates glaciers for a wide AoE damage. While the ult may look troublesome, it can be easily dodged by witnessing the special effects before the move is cast. The ground emanates an icy glow indicating the area that will be affected by her Freeze and Slow.

The revamped Aurora in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang may have gotten a better skillset but she is still a fragile unit that is super weak to burst damage and vulnerable to Assassins. If you ever encounter a player using the new meta in the 5v5 action, try to close the distance between you and the enemy Aurora.
