Aurora is one of the most unique mage heroes in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, specializing in initiating team fights and unleashing crowd control on multiple adversaries simultaneously.
Her proficiency in delivering high magic damage, coupled with crowd control-centric abilities, makes her a versatile hero who can fit in any team composition.
What truly distinguishes her from other mage heroes is her ultimate ability, Frigid Glacier, which grants her a unique edge over other mages. It not only slows and eventually stuns multiple enemies in a large area, but can also stun turrets.
In ranked games, if Aurora isn’t banned, she’s often flex-picked, either as a roamer or dominating the midlane.
However, if she falls into the hands of the opposing team, a few specific heroes can effectively stop her.
Here are 3 heroes who effectively counter mage hero Aurora in Mobile Legends
Diggie
All of Aurora’s abilities include crowd control effects, and a hero effective in countering her is the support hero Diggie.
Diggie’s ultimate skill, Time Journey, is the only skill you need to counter her. The skill removes all debuffs on nearby allied heroes, providing them with a shield and control immunity for three seconds.
This becomes a game-changer against the Maiden of the Glacier, preventing her from initiating team fights or applying crowd control as long as Diggie is present.
Prioritize building Fleeting Time for the cooldown reduction on your ultimate.
Additionally, consider incorporating magic resistance items like Athena’s Shield or Oracle to enhance your survivability against her when your ultimate is on cooldown.
Helcurt
As a jungler facing crowd control heroes, Helcurt is a strong choice.
His passive, Race Advantage, provides a 1.5-second silence to enemies using control effects on him. This implies that after Aurora uses a skill on Helcurt, she won’t be able to immediately follow up with other abilities, leaving her exposed during that timeframe.
He can also swiftly eliminate backline heroes without even revealing his presence on the map.
With his ultimate, Dark Night Falls, he significantly reduces the enemy’s hero sight for a brief duration. This enables him to ambush Aurora, employing Deadly Stinger to execute a rapid takedown.
Opt for your standard offensive items when playing Helcurt in this matchup. If you find yourself falling behind, consider prioritizing an early build of Athena’s Shield to reduce some of the incoming magic damage.
Martis
Martis is also another jungle hero capable of halting the advances of the Maiden of the Glacier.
His second skill, Mortal Coil, briefly provides him with crowd control immunity and damage reduction, making it difficult for anyone to stun him during team fights.
Additionally, his ultimate, Decimation, serves as a potent burst damage skill capable of quickly bringing her down.
When playing Martis, pay attention to the timing of Mortal Coil, as it requires some practice to master. Familiarize yourself with its mechanics before deploying Martis as a counter to Aurora in ranked games.
Given Martis’s substantial innate damage from his skills, it’s advisable to construct a build comprising both offensive and defensive items.
After securing core items like Hunter’s Strike and Blade of Despair, consider incorporating Athena’s Shield into your build.
