Skills
Fighting Spirit
BuffAfter dealing damage, Aulus adds a stack of Fighting Spirit to his axe per second for 4s (up to 4 stacks). Each stack grants 7.5 (+0.5*Hero Level)% Attack Speed. At max Fighting Spirit stacks, Aulus's Basic Attack is enhanced and gains Attack Range.
Enhanced Basic Attack: Aulus slams his axe into the ground, dealing 160 (+20*Hero Level) (+75% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in a line.
Aulus, Charge!

If Aulus does not take high-level control effects within 2s, he will enter the Enraged state and gain Control Immunity.
The Power of Axe

Cleaving Axe
BurstAulus repeatedly swings his axe at nearby enemies, dealing 150 (+60% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage each time. After 4 strikes, Aulus briefly charges before unleashing a wider slash, dealing 450 (+180% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in a large area.

Synergizes With
Aulus is a dive Fighter and he thrives with reliable ranged Support, such as Angela and Floryn.
Strong Against
Aulus's strong engage and sustained combat capabilities, along with his Control Immunity, makes him a good counter to squishy, low-mobility heroes like Hanabi, Miya, and Gord.
Weak Against
Since Aulus's damage relies on landing his enhanced Basic Attacks, heroes who can keep him at bay and avoid them are a tough matchup, such as Franco, Melissa, and Karina.
