Aulus – Counters
Weak against (counters)
Since Aulus's damage relies on landing his enhanced Basic Attacks, heroes who can keep him at bay and avoid them are a tough matchup, such as Franco, Melissa, and Karina.
Strong against
Aulus's strong engage and sustained combat capabilities, along with his Control Immunity, makes him a good counter to squishy, low-mobility heroes like Hanabi, Miya, and Gord.
