Overview
Aulus is a scaling fighter who becomes extremely strong in the late game. After the revamp, he farms faster and reaches his power spike earlier, making him more viable in jungle and EXP lane
Strengths
Strong late game damage, good sustain in fights, and can melt tanks and squishy heroes easily once fully farmed
Weaknesses
Very weak early game, needs farm and items, and can be easily bullied before level 8.
Core build
This build maximizes Auluss damage and sustain, allowing him to scale into a late-game monster. War Axe and Endless Battle provide strong continuous damage and true damage effects, while Berserkers Fury increases critical damage for higher burst. Malefic Roar helps deal with tanky enemies, and Immortality gives a second chance in teamfights, making Aulus more reliable in late game clashes. Optional Changes Against heavy magic Replace Immortality Athenas Shield Against lifesteal heroes Add Dominance Ice Need more sustain Use Haass Claws
Fighter Emblem Sustained DPS
This emblem setup is perfect for Aulus in EXP lane because it improves his sustain, mobility, and damage in fights. Spell vamp helps Aulus stay alive during extended trades, while movement speed allows him to chase enemies more easily. The final talent provides extra healing or mobility, making him stronger in both laning and teamfights
Battle Spell
Instantly teleports Aulus a short distance in the chosen direction. It can be used to escape danger, chase enemies, or reposition during fights. Flicker also helps Aulus engage with his ultimate or surprise enemies for kills Alternative Spell: Vengeance Reflects damage back to enemies and reduces incoming damage for a few seconds Best against strong fighters or burst heroes Simple Tip: Use Flicker if you want more mobility and play aggressive Use Vengeance if enemy team has high damage and you need to survive
Late Game demon
Early Game: Play safe and focus on farming. Aulus is weak early, so avoid unnecessary fights and clear minions to reach level 8 as fast as possible. Mid Game: Start joining small fights and objectives. You can trade better now, but still avoid overcommitting without items. Focus on farming and helping in Turtle fights. Late Game: This is where Aulus shines. With full items, you can deal massive damage and dominate teamfights. Stay with your team, target squishy enemies, and use your ultimate to win fights.
Best With Angela
Compatibility (Best Teammates) Aulus works best with heroes who can protect, heal, or set up fights for him. Supports like Angela and Floryn keep him alive during fights, while tanks like Tigreal or Atlas provide strong crowd control to help Aulus deal damage safely.
Watch Out For Dyrroth
Counters (Hard to Play Against) Aulus struggles against heroes with high burst, poke, or kiting ability. Heroes like Valir, Karrie, and Dyrroth can pressure him early or shred him before he scales.
