This champion is extremely annoying against an Aurelion Sol due to her high CC and annoying ult. I do not recommend going Sol facing a good Zyra player.

Introduction

This section is currently being worked on. Please stand by.

Note: Add more detail to the Introduction.

Hello and welcome to Support Guide! I hope you find everything here useful, and sorry if the guide is missing some important information. I'm currently updating the guide as much as possible and I hope to finish it soon. The build isn't perfect yet but I do believe Aurelion Sol can be a great support.

Thanks for checking out my guide!

Pros / Cons

This section is currently being worked on. Please stand by.

Note: Add more detail explaining the Pros/Cons.

Pros

+ Excellent Harass and Poke.
+ Nice Stun for trades.
+ Great engage for ally jungle ganks.
+ Great disengage for enemy jungle ganks.
+ Scale quite well and Rylai's gives you a huge power spike.
+ Team fights are strong, fight in backline along with the adc.

Cons

- Somewhat weak pre-level 6.
- Cannot hide in botlane bushes.
- Must keep some distance to prevent bad trading.
- Vulnerable to high CC. If he isn't able to move, he can't do much damage.
- Peeling for your ADC isn't an option. Keep your distance. But stay close enough to combo abilities.

Ability Spells

Center of the Universe

RANGE: 325 / 650

INNATE: Aurelion Sol is constantly orbited by three Stars, and beyond them exists an Outer Limit affecting his damaging abilities. Ability-inhibiting crowd control disables Center of the Universe.

The Stars deal 20 − 130 (based on level) (+ 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25) (+ 18% − 35% (based on level) AP) magic damage and apply spell effects to enemies that come in contact with them, executing minions below 25 health.

Tips

Your three stars will disappear if a silence or stun hits your champion. It is suggested that you don't use your Astral Flight on an enemy unless you stun the enemy first with Breath of Light. That way they can not turn your stars off when you attack them.

Starsurge

RANGE: 75 / ∞
COST: 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 MANA
COOLDOWN: 10 Seconds

ACTIVE: Aurelion Sol fires the core of a newborn star in the target direction, which expands as long as it remains within the Outer Limit and grants him 10% bonus movement speed.

Upon traveling beyond the Outer Limit or reactivating Starsurge, the core Starsurge 2 detonates, dealing magic damage to all enemies caught within and Stun icon stunning them.

Magic Damage: 70 / 110 / 150 / 190 / 230 (+ 65% AP)
Stun Duration: 1.1 / 1.2 / 1.3 / 1.4 / 1.5

Tips

You can activate Breath of Light while you have Singularity activated. This creates strong ganks and a large AoE stun.
As long as you stay within the outer-limit of Breath of Light, you will gain extra movement speed and Breath of Light will grow larger and larger.
When firing your Breath of Light, there is a small delay between when you can detonate it. If an enemy is in your face, the best thing you can do is use Falling Star to knock them back and Breath of Light to stun them.

Celestial Expansion

COST: 40 MANA + 22 / 24 / 26 / 28 / 30 PER SECOND
COOLDOWN: 6 / 5.5 / 5 / 4.5 / 4

Passive: The Center of the Stars' base damage is increased.

Toggle: Aurelion Sol Celestial Expansion 2 pushes his Stars out to the Outer Limit and increases their damage by 50%.

Bonus Damage: 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25
Total Damage: 30 - 195 (based on level) (+ 7.5 / 15 / 22.5 / 25 / 37.5) (+ 27 - 52.5 (based on level)% AP)

Tips

When using Astral Flight you will increase the range (625) of your stars ( Cosmic Creator) and do extra damage.
Using Astral Flight to clear late game minion waves is a big plus. If you go to the side of the lane and use Astral Flight, you will have a much faster clear rate than most champions.
Astral Flight uses a lot of mana. Be careful of how long you have this ability activated. Getting a sustain item such as, Athene's Unholy Grail or Shurelya's Battlesong should help you from losing to much mana.
This ability can be deactivated by any crowd control that can limit your spellcasting.
Use Astral Flight after you stun an enemy with Breath of Light to do a lot of damage.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter is a very important item for Aurelion Sol. With this item you can use Astral Flight to slow your enemies permanently as long as you keep hitting them.

Comet of Legend

RANGE: 3000 / 4000 / 5000 / 6000 / 7000
SPEED: 600
COST: 60 Mana
COOLDOWN: 60 / 55 / 50 / 45 / 40

ACTIVE: pulls in his Stars and takes flight in the chosen direction, gaining unobstructed sight and ignoring terrain and unit collision. Aurelion Sol can also be seen regardless of obstructions.

Performing any action (excluding ) or taking damage from champions or turrets will end early.

If Aurelion Sol hasn't taken damage for 5 seconds, he can activate Comet of Legend.

Max. Bonus Movement Speed: 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45%

Tips

Singularity can be a very powerful ganking tool and can initiate a teamfight. It's passive grants you extra movement speed as long as you stay in a straight line. Taking sharp turns will reset your base movement speed and will need to build its speed back up.
Leveling up this ability will greatly increase the range of your active.
Dead Man's Plate is a really good item on Aurelion Sol since you gain even more movement speed. Sharp turning will also not be as bad with this item since you do not lose your stacks.

Voice of Light

RANGE: 1500
COST: 100 Mana
COOLDOWN: 110 / 90 / 70

Aurelion Sol breathes out a blast of pure starfire, dealing 150 / 250 / 350 (+70% of ability power) magic damage and slowing struck enemies by 40 / 50 / 60% for 2 seconds. Nearby enemies caught in the blast are also knocked back to Aurelion Sol's outer ring.

Magic Damage: 150 / 250 / 350 (+ 70% AP)
Slow: 40 / 50 / 60%

Tips

The range on Falling Star is crazy and can be used to slow, knock back or finish your enemies. This ability works very well with he's entire kit and can make some sick combos.
This is ability can be used to disengage team fights, enemy ganks or the exact opposite which to engage on the enemy as well. Combining your Breath of Light with Falling Star can create of heavy damage and is a great follow up for your teammates.
Stealing main objectives like Dragon or Baron Nashor is almost as good as Lux's Final Spark [R].
This abiltiy's cast-time is so quick that is is nearly impossible to dodge or react too. If you compare this to Lux's Final Spark, it is much faster.

Summoner Spells

Scale: Summoner Spells will be rated 1-4 based on how good they are with .

1 - Decent
2 - Good
3 - Powerful
4 - Excellent

Note: Ratings are subject to change due to Summoner Spell buffs or debuffs.

Flash - 4 / Recommended

LEVEL: 8
RANGE: 425
COOLDOWN: 300 Sec.

Teleports your champion toward your cursor's location.

---- Why? ----

is a good spell to escape or engage a fight. For example, if an enemy is inside your passive (Your most vulnerable blindspot), enemies can do tons of damage to you. This spell can be used to escape that weakness and after gaining range from the enemy, you can potentially land a stun ().

Exhaust - 4 / Recommended

LEVEL: 4
RANGE: 650
COOLDOWN: 210 Sec.

Exhausts target enemy champion, reducing their damage dealt by 40% for 2.5 seconds and reducing their attack and movement speed by 30% for the duration. Also shreds 10 Armor and Magic Resistance.

---- Why? ----

is a great spell on because it not only reduces an enemy's damage by 40% but also slows them long enough for your stars to hit them () and do a great deal of damage. This also creates openings for your adc to deal damage as well and will most likely secure the kill. If the adc can't deal enough damage after your stun, this will most likely cause the enemy to burn their flash and will create good opportunities for your jungler to set up a gank in the near future. In my opinion this Spell is by far the best spell for Support.

Ignite - 3

LEVEL: 10
RANGE: 600
COOLDOWN: 210 Sec.

Ignites target enemy champion, dealing 80-505 true damage (depending on champion level) over 5 seconds and applying Grievous Wounds to them for the duration (Grievous Wounds reduces all healing received and regeneration rates by 40%).

---- Why? ----

might not be the best spell for supports but this spell is great for dealing extra damage to secure kills for your adc. It is recommended using this spell not before the enemy dies but rather when you attack the enemy after you stun them (). However, this spell does become rather weak in the mid-game and late-game because the spell eventually doesn't do enough damage to kill tanky-ish enemies. This is just an early game spell and could get your bot lane fed enough to win the game. It simply will increase your chances to get kills that other spells won't get you.
