Aulus’ skills in Mobile Legends
Passive – Fighting Spirit
Aulus adds a stack of Fighting Spirit to his axe per second for a few seconds after dealing damage to any enemy (up to a certain number of stacks). Each stack grants extra his physical attack and physical penetration (scales with Undying Fury).
He also gains extra movement speed and basic attack damage at max stacks.
- Aulus heavily relies on basic attacks, so try to maintain max stacks in the laning phase all the times.
- His axe will light up whenever you have full stacks. This is a good indicator that you are at your best in crucial situations.
- You can try to hit a jungle creep whenever possible to fully stack Fighting Spirit during the laning phase.
- Try to bait out your enemies by starting the fight with zero stacks of Fighting Spirit. Once an enemy fights back, use every skill you have to quickly have full stacks, and surprise them with your insane damage output.
First skill – Aulus, Charge!
Aulus removes all slow effects and gains extra movement speed and damage reduction against attacks from the front for several seconds. He gains extra damage reduction for every certain amount of extra physical attack, up to a particular percentage.
- This skill is a good gap closer and escape skill due to its increased movement speed.
- Do take note that you receive reduced damage whenever you’re charging an enemy, so use this to your advantage. Use this ability when charging enemy damage dealers.
- Building items that increase your physical attack will enhance damage reduction while this skill is active.
Second skill – The Power of Axe
Aulus brandishes his axe, dealing physical damage to enemies in a fan-shaped area, and enhancing his next basic attacks for several seconds according to the enemies hit.
Enhanced basic attacks gain extra attack speed and restore HP to him.
- The Power of Axe should be maxed out after Undying Fury as it’s Aulus’ main damage skill.
- If you are in the EXP lane, this skill is good for harassing enemies while regenerating some your health during the process.
- He gains three stacks when hitting non-minion enemies, up to six times. On the other hand, he only gains one stack when hitting a minion.
- This skill works best when enemies are clumped together, as it dishes out the damage of six enhanced basic attacks in just one blow.
Ultimate – Undying Fury
Passive: Every time the ultimate is upgraded, Aulus crafts a part for his axe to enhance his basic attack’s damage, increase his critical chance, attack range, and cast range of The Power of Axe in order.
Active: He raises his axe and smashes it to the ground, dealing physical damage to enemies in a line and greatly slows them. A burning trail that lasts for several seconds is left on the ground, dealing physical damage to enemies who walk on it and slowing them.
- This skill’s passive makes him a lot stronger with each upgrade, so make sure to max Undying Fury whenever possible.
- The active part of this skill strong for initiating team fights, and works best with a crowd-control heavy composition.
- Aside from its slow, Undying Fury also damages enemies who stands on the trail. This skill is perfect in tight areas as it leaves the enemies no other options but to walk through the fire trail.
- This skill can be cancelled by crowd control. Make sure to activate the skill at a safe distance before going all-in with your other skills.
A comprehensive guide on how to play Aulus in Mobile Legends
Recommended battle spell
Aulus is weak in the laning stage and very vulnerable against early game juggernauts. With this in mind, Retribution is the best battle spell for him as jungling levels you up faster, thanks to his fast wave clear with The Power of Axe.
Flicker is the best battle spell for him if you’re playing him in the side lane. It’s possible to succeed with him in the side lane, but you have to play it safe so that you won’t get left behind.
Flicker allows you to escape if you find yourself in sticky situations, or finish off escaping enemies.
Recommended emblem
The Assassin emblem is the way to go for Aulus because it provides adaptive penetration, adaptive attack, and movement speed.
In terms of talents, choose Rupture in the first tier to gain additional adaptive penetration, and Seasoned Hunter in the second tier to deal extra damage against Lord, Turtle, and jungle creeps.

Alternatively, if you’re playing as a side laner, you can replace Seasoned Hunter with Weapons Master to obtain additional physical attack from equipment, emblem, talents, and skills.
For your core talent, select Killing Spree. It instantly restores a huge percentage of your HP, and grants you substantial movement speed boost upon taking down an enemy hero, enabling you to go for more kills in team fights.
Aulus best build
For his item build, finishing your preferred boots first is vital before going for your other offensive items.
Purchase Tough Boots for magic defense and CC duration reduction. However, if the enemy team relies on physical damage, opt for Warrior Boots.
Based on how the top Aulus players build him, Windtalker, Berserker’s Fury, and Great Dragon Spear are his core items.
If you are behind, you can swap one of your damage items with a defensive item, such as Brute Force Breastplate or Athena’s Shield, depending on the enemy’s lineup.
The best build for Aulus in Mobile Legends
- Tough Boots (Ice Retribution if you’re a jungler)
- Windtalker
- Berserker’s Fury
- Endless Battle
- Great Dragon Spear
- Malefic Roar
Easy combos to learn
When playing Aulus, always remember that having max stacks of Fighting Spirit is the key to victory. With that, this guide aims to max out his stacks immediately.
When facing one enemy, a good combo would be to rush him with Aulus, Charge! basic attack, The Power of Axe, another basic attack, then Undying Fury. This is always a sure kill especially if the enemy has no escape skill.
In team fights, it’s best to use Undying Fury first before Aulus, Charge! Once you are in the middle of the team fight, use The Power of Axe and hit as many enemies as possible.
Assuming you have the max enhanced basic attack stack, lock in on the enemy with the least amount of health and hit them hard with your basic attacks.
