Hero Relations
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.
