Riot Games, the developer of the cult MOBA League of Legends, is back with another character reveal. Give it up for Aurora, the latest Vastaya Champion joining the roster.
Her story started 6 years ago with a vague concept, overtime evolving into her current form and story. Vastaya share many physical traits with their animal-inspirations: scales, fur, ears, claws, and even markings. And our latest Champion is no exception with her bunny-inspired imagery.
“Born to a vastayan Bryni tribe, in the Freljordian village Aamu, Aurora grew up with the unique ability to see the veil between the spirit and material realms. Aurora struggled to connect with her peers, instead finding companionship with nearby spirits. Determined to learn more about the spirit realm, Aurora left her village to travel across the Freljord.”
Aurora’s abilities include:
- Spirit Abjuration (Passive) – Aurora’s spells and attacks exorcise spirits from the enemies she damages. Exorcised spirits follow Aurora around, healing her and granting her bonus movement speed.
- Twofold Hex (Q) – Aurora sends out a missile that curses any enemies it hits. She can then recast the ability to draw active curses back toward herself, damaging foes who are hit along the way.
- Across the Veil (W) – She leaps in a direction of her choosing, entering the spirit realm upon landing and becoming invisible for a short duration of time.
- The Weirding (E) – the Champion unlocks a window to the spirit realm, sending out a blast of spirit magic that damages and slows enemies before Aurora hops backward to safety.
- Between Worlds (R) – the Vastaya leaps in a direction of her choosing, releasing a shockwave that damages and slows any enemies it hits. Afterward, she creates an area that traps enemies within it and allows Aurora to teleport from one side of the area to the other.
