HOW TO PLAY AULUS
Fighting Spirit stacks while Aulus keeps dealing damage; at max stacks his Basic Attacks are enhanced. Aulus, Charge! removes slows and grants speed — if no high-level control hits him within 2 seconds he becomes Enraged and immune to control. The Power of Axe can be recast to dash in. Cleaving Axe gives 20–40% damage reduction while he swings, so commit to it in the middle of the fight.
