What Aurora is bad at
- No dash or blink of any kind — completely reliant on positioning and range to avoid dive
- Frigid Glacier's frost path telegraphs early and can be walked out of before it shatters
- Pride of Ice has a long cooldown, so a second all-in before it resets kills her outright
- Very squishy against burst assassins that close the gap before her next skill is off cooldown
