What truly distinguishes her from other mage heroes is her ultimate ability, Frigid Glacier, which grants her a unique edge over other mages. It not only slows and eventually stuns multiple enemies in a large area, but can also stun turrets.

In ranked games, if Aurora isn’t banned, she’s often flex-picked, either as a roamer or dominating the midlane.

However, if she falls into the hands of the opposing team, a few specific heroes can effectively stop her.

Here are 3 heroes who effectively counter mage hero Aurora in Mobile Legends

Diggie

All of Aurora’s abilities include crowd control effects, and a hero effective in countering her is the support hero Diggie.

Diggie’s ultimate skill, Time Journey, is the only skill you need to counter her. The skill removes all debuffs on nearby allied heroes, providing them with a shield and control immunity for three seconds.

This becomes a game-changer against the Maiden of the Glacier, preventing her from initiating team fights or applying crowd control as long as Diggie is present.

Prioritize building Fleeting Time for the cooldown reduction on your ultimate.

Additionally, consider incorporating magic resistance items like Athena’s Shield or Oracle to enhance your survivability against her when your ultimate is on cooldown.

Natalia‘s passive, Assassin Instinct, allows her to approach Aurora undetected. Once in range, the assassin can unleash her enhanced basic attack and Smoke Bomb to silence the mage, preventing her from casting any skills.

This is crucial as the Maiden of the Glacier heavily relies on crowd control and burst damage to dominate fights. Natalia’s Claw Dash adds mobility, letting her dodge the enemy mage’s skills while staying aggressive.

Even if Aurora’s Pride of Ice passive triggers, Natalia can use Claw Dash to reposition during the invincibility duration and prepare to re-engage. Her high burst damage capability ensures she can finish off Aurora as soon as the freeze ends.

Gusion is a good counter to the Maiden of the Glacier because he has high burst damage, mobility, and the tools to outmaneuver her.

Using Sword Spike and Shadowblade Slaughter, Gusion can quickly burst the mage hero down, often forcing her Pride of Ice passive to trigger before she can retaliate.

His mobility allows him to dodge crucial crowd control abilities like Bitter Frost and Cold Destruction, minimizing her impact.

During her freeze state, Gusion can reposition with Incandescence and prepare his daggers for a second combo, ensuring he finishes her off once the invincibility ends.
