Two fresh auras have landed in +1 Speed Keyboard Escape, and they sit at the top end of the speed multipliers you can equip. The AlphabetAura is a free-to-play unlock, while the DarknessAura is a paid item. Both replace whatever aura you are currently running, so picking the right one matters for how fast each step counts.
Quick answer: AlphabetAura costs 1 billion trophies and grants an x8.5 speed boost, while DarknessAura costs 1,480 Robux and grants an x10 speed boost. The free AlphabetAura is the better value unless you specifically want the extra 1.5x from the premium option.
AlphabetAura and DarknessAura cost and speed boost
The two new auras separate cleanly into a grindable option and a Robux purchase. The DarknessAura leads on raw multiplier, but only by 1.5x over the free AlphabetAura, which is why the grind-based unlock is the smarter pick for most players.
| Aura | Speed boost | Cost | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| AlphabetAura | x8.5 | 1 billion trophies | Free-to-play |
| DarknessAura | x10 | 1,480 Robux | Premium |
For reference, the StormAura shown alongside them grants an x7 boost, so both new auras clear the older top-tier options. Since speed is earned per step and multipliers stack, a jump from x7 to x8.5 or x10 is a meaningful increase in how much every step banks.
How to unlock and equip the new auras
You can only run one aura at a time, so equipping a new one swaps out the previous aura rather than stacking with it. Trails are handled separately, meaning you can still keep your best trail equipped alongside whichever aura you choose.
Which aura is worth it
The DarknessAura’s x10 boost is the highest of the two, but the gap over the free AlphabetAura is just 1.5x. Because AlphabetAura costs only trophies you already earn from playing, it delivers most of the same benefit without spending Robux.
Tip: If you are still building up trophies, prioritize the AlphabetAura first. Grabbing DarknessAura only makes sense when you want the extra multiplier immediately and are comfortable paying 1,480 Robux for that 1.5x edge.
