Skills
At the start of battle, Aureus follows the allied hero with the highest Attack Rating, increasing their Buffer by 30 points and damage caused by Normal Attacks by 40%. When the followed hero uses a Normal Attack, Aureus performs a joint attack, emitting a sonic breath that damages the target for 200% of their Attack Rating. This effect can be triggered once every 6 seconds. When using skills, Aureus swiftly spirals towards the densest cluster of enemy heroes, generating a cyclone that lasts for 2 seconds. Each second, it deals damage for 150% of his Attack Rating to enemies within range and draws them towards the center. Every time the hero followed uses a Normal Attack, Aureus gains an additional 50 Beast Energy.
Aureus' joint attacks reduce the target's Energy by 100.
During Aureus' joint attacks, enemies hit are inflicted with Resonance for 3 seconds. For the duration of the effect, if the enemy takes damage, Aureus deals additional damage for 250% of his Attack Rating and knocks them down. This effect is removed after triggering.
Aureus' joint attacks decrease the target's Energy Recovery Rate by 10% for 8 seconds. This effect can be stacked up to 3 times.
Aureus increases the followed hero's Attack Rating by 30% and Normal Attack Speed by 30 points.
The longer Aureus follows a hero, the higher his approval of them. Every 5 seconds increases the followed hero's Attack Rating by 10% and Normal Attack Speed by 10. This effect can be stacked up to 3 times.
The range of the cyclone is increased, and its duration is significantly increased to 4 seconds. During the cyclone's duration, enemies within range cannot cast their Ultimate, and enemies within its range will lose 30 Haste points when the cyclone ends, lasting for 6 seconds.

Story
Aureus comes from a lineage steeped in the ancient blood of dragons. Although smaller than dragons, it cannot shapeshift into a human form. Yet, its behavior reveals a remarkable level of intelligence. There are rumors that Aureus formed a deep bond with the first creature it sees upon hatching, regarding her as its true mother and revealing its vulnerabilities only in her presence. Naturally prideful, Aureus is drawn to individuals of pure character—those who embody kindness, unwavering convictions, and a passion for battle. While discerning and exacting in its judgments, once it selects a companion, it bestows upon them its unwavering trust. With grace and agility in flight, Aureus adheres strictly to combat directives, offering steadfast support.
