🎯Identity

Aulus exists to win prolonged brawls with empowered, hard-hitting basic attacks.

Note: no skill numbers were provided, so this reads his kit from general knowledge, not DATA values.

His whole design is a buildup: polish the axe, then out-trade one target.

He is durable and sustained, not bursty or multi-target.

⚙️How the kit actually works

PASSIVEAxe Empowerment (The Fervent Blade)

Turns repeated basic attacks into empowered, massively harder hits.

It exists so Aulus scales inside a fight, not before it.

Load-bearing detail: you must keep attacking to keep the axe glowing.

SKILL 1Dash Strike (Novel Ways)

Gap-close a target and gain damage reduction to survive the trade.

It is his only real mobility, so it is your engage and your escape.

Most players miss the damage reduction window that makes trades safe.

SKILL 2Empower Charge (Undying Bravery)

Refreshes and feeds axe empowerment so hits stay enhanced.

It exists to reapply the buff mid-fight if it decays.

Use it to avoid ever dropping the glowing axe during combat.

ULTIMATENo Retreat!

Locks onto a target with speed and empowerment for the kill.

This patch's enhanced attacks now slow, so he sticks to kited targets.

This is your level-4 spike and your commitment button; ride it to the death.

🔗 HOW IT ALL CONNECTS

Skill 1 closes the gap and buys survival, then empowered basics start stacking.

Skill 2 reapplies empowerment so the axe never goes dark mid-brawl.

Ultimate adds speed plus the new slow, keeping the target pinned for full axe damage.

📈Power curve

Aulus is weak until level 4 and War Axe, strong in mid-game brawls, fading late.

Early (Lv 1-3)
Weak

No ultimate and no empowered axe yet, so trades are weak.

Mid game
Strong

Level-4 ultimate plus War Axe makes empowered attacks punishing.

Late game
Weak

Patch trades late damage away and strong carries out-scale him.

🏆Win condition

Force long single-target trades where your empowered axe out-damages theirs.

  1. 1Reach level 4 and War Axe before picking real fights.
  2. 2Engage with Skill 1 only when empowerment is ready.
  3. 3Reapply with Skill 2 and ride the ultimate slow to finish.
