Glaciers begin to appear on the ice road and grow until they reach their maximum size.

How to play Aurora
Aurora is endowed with high crushing area damage and is effective against an entire crowd. Deals stable damage and stuns enemies. As a mid player, he takes on the role of the main damage dealer in the match. However, the mage has absolutely no mobility, is vulnerable to melee attacks, and has a high mana cost.
Some problems are solved by competent selection of items and emblems, but what to do with low survivability without escapes? A clear tactic will come to the rescue, adhering to which it will be easy to win a victory for the whole team.
Early on, start with farming. Clear the lane, defend the tower, periodically attack the enemy mage. Even up to level four, you are strong enough if you use your passive correctly. After getting the boots, move up or down the lanes to help the allies. When playing as a support, only your position on the map changes - attach to the shooter or assassin in the first minutes to help in the farm. The combinations don't change at all.
In the mid-late stages, you should always build up a passive buff before ganking so that your participation will provide more control and damage. Constantly accumulate it, because it is not always known in advance when a team battle will begin.
When participating in a gank or playing against a single character, you can use the following combination of abilities:
- Strike second skillto slow down the target.
- Activate immediately ultimateto prevent the character from sneaking out of the area where the iceberg fell.
- Finish off your opponent first ability.
The first and second skills can be swapped, because each of them deals damage and slows down the enemy, which is necessary before the ult. When playing against a whole crowd, it will be more effective to hit first with the third skill, and then with the rest of the abilities.
If the team has a reliable tank with control (Tigril, Атлас), then start the attack after they exit. You will have more chances to hit more opponents with the iceberg and deal devastating damage to everyone at once.
Aurora is an easy character, but very powerful in capable hands. Practice, try assemblies, and then everything will definitely work out. We are waiting for your comments and questions below!
