The Aurora is classified as a light tank due to its low HP, but is employed very similarly to a medium tank. It is equipped with a Disruptor Cannon and has a long range and high damage; in fact it outranges the T2 Heavy Tanks. Although its initial shot damage of 40 is high compared to other tech 1 direct fire units, it is relatively unimportant, unless multiple Auroras are used, because most enemy units that an Aurora is likely to face will have much higher hit points than this. The Aurora possesses the ability to hover, enabling it to travel over the surface of water.
