I've been really enjoying Jungleing as Aurora, but my builds only so-so. I'm not sure what to focus on. I welcome all feedback.
My latest build:
Spirit of Amir
Dawnstar
Lifebinder
Spectra
I didn't get a 5/6th item, we won shortly after. And yea, I've been winning with this build but it's more of Auroras kit doing the heavy lifting. And knowing where to be and when. I went 2/0/11 in one of my better matches. I focus on feeding allies early, and snowballing my team. Any suggestions on better items to use and how to use them is most welcome.
#Aurora Jungle Advice?
sour steeple
quasi meteor
I'd suggest going more of a tank/bruiser build and not...what that is
Tempest
Fireblossom
Elafrost
Flux matrix
World breaker
Then 2 armor items based on who the enemy team has, and what characters are strong
half folio
Prophecy.
nimble pine
theres the fire blossom build which is full tank and then bruiser. i go bruiser personally:
magnify - fist of raz - elafrost - next 3 items are flex items. if you need tainted then by all means go tainted guard/sceptre after magnify.

I see where you’re trying to go with this build you just need some guidance.
I’d suggest prophecy over spectra if you want attack speed. Look at your play style and decide if you need to be tanks or bruiser.
Tanky I’d go Prophecy, Magnify, Elafrost, Flux, maybe taunted guard for anti heal, tainted bastion if you need more magical damage and stonewall is always good.
If you wanna go bruiser, I’d suggest prophecy still if not magnify first, oath keeper, spirit is fine, tainted can be good, I would still go elafrost and flux.
I wouldn’t reccomend fire blossom because her passive gives her that so I would focus on haste, but if you want double the passive you could.
You wanna focus on clearing camps and ganking in between and finding ways to get objectives. As jungle your pathing really matters being efficient in ganks and not wasting time. Also look to invade and play around your team. Use your walls and cc creatively to help your team, gank, and get in and out of situations.
It’s your teams job to set you up for ganks, so don’t waste too much time camping a lane trying to wait for them to push forward.
Fist is really good too for tank

This is decent only if you have team mates that help in fighting.

I'd say its better no matter what situation. It's easier to carry a game if you have more survivability as well as damage

Thank you to everyone who submitted a build!
I've been trying them out. Haven't landed on one go-to yet. Mixed results from each of them. Anyone have advice about match ups?
Example: I had khaimera completely mealt me when using the tank build. how could I have averted that? Or is he just a counter to her?

With her MD scaling it seems stupid to go Spectra, also I believe it’s wild to go Tank on these chicks.
But if it works I can’t complain, so there’s a lot of theory craft.
It’s not stuck to one, my main haven’t used any Meta build since day one cause IMO they don’t quite know the right way to build none of them yet.
If you think pure efficiency and utility, how would you spike Aurora, given her abilities - Root, Cone, Passive DoT.
If you wanna be good you keep playing and experimenting till you find the staple that works phenomenal for you.
It won’t be the meta, cause none of us are the same with the same mindset, different items applicable to different playstyles.
Rinse and Repeat till you got it, plenty games in the past I lost from the second item, but then I wouldn’t know what worked either you know
