Decided to make a general thread for sharing tips and details about Aurora mode running. For a few starting notes:

-Aurora's backdash gives her coyote time, which can be used to make some otherwise impossible jumps. This becomes irrelevant with the wings but can be used to get past the moving block room in Galleon Minerva faster and to get an MP Max Up early. -Aurora's backdash grants her i-frames. -Aurora gains back MP when dealing melee damage, including with counters. This makes rhythmic countering and spamming Light Ray a great strategy for Zangetsu. Dominique might require other strategies to be consistently quick. -In New Game+, you have enough health to reach Zangetsu II as soon as Aurora gets her wings, skipping a huge chunk of the game. I do not know if this is possible without it yet, but this does make it so the game can be beaten without visiting the Tower, Caverns, Lab, or Inferno Cave. The question is, is this possible without New Game+ by collecting just a few health max ups? It might be, given Igniculus can heal Aurora when idle, though there is the matter of fighting Dominique and Bael with a low level at that point ... -Light Ray obviously doesn't do much against Dominique. Thankfully, Death Cry/Gen can be easily obtained from a Cyhyraeth on the way to Craftwork. My currently submitted run does not do this but it may be a good idea to incorporate it into the route.
