Threats & Synergies
Yasuo
Yasuo has a lot of DPS and burst damage on his kit, as well as CC and mobility, but his Windwall will make your Starsurge and Voice of Light useless. You can't take Exhaust because he usually takes Conqueror and you can't roam, you just need your jungler's help.
Amumu
His passive and his ultimate changes games, and you can freely deal a lot of damage.

Champion Build Guide
I got to Platinum III at the start of this season by playing after I got tired of playing ADC (yes, at first I mained jungle , then top , then adc and then mid, at the moment I'm playing whatever, but trying to learn about ), I didn't know what to play and I saw that f*king sexy *ss Special Dragon and I started to play him. When he got launched, I was really bad, and I mean REALLY bad at him, but I got him to Mastery level 4 and continue playing , but when I got back to play him, I was a GOD (yes, I was on Plat III, but I was on Plat III because of a reason), and literally in a month and a half I got from Plat III wich was my top rank in all my almost 4 years playing, to Platinum IV, then I spent almost two months getting to Platinum III and now I know my Aurelion Sol level is up to Platinum III - Patinum I.
And as an extra fact, so you don't think I'm really bad because I'm Platinum, I got the #3 place on the best Aurelion Sol LAN it (for only 5 hours, but I got there, now I'm not that high because I stopped playing Rankeds and I started to play other champions again, before ASol I was not a OTP).
Here's my actual rank on the best ASol LAN (yes, I don't care about my league rank enymore, I want to see this rank get up):
Then we level ability Starsurge, this is because it's a really good zoning ability because of it's high 70 base damage and ~16.25 magic damage with a 1.1 second stunn for you to hit the enemy 2-3 times with your Stars.
Then the recommended is to lvl ability Comet Of Legend, so you can back at that third minion wave to buy Dark Seal and get back to lane with the active and/or passive of you ability Comet Of Legend so you don't miss a single minion if you're quick enough.
Then, you max your ability Celestial Expansion with a pint of your ability Voice Of Light at level 6 and a point on your ability Comet Of Legend on level 7, the reason on the secon point on ability Comet Of Legend instead of ability Starsurge is because you get the huge change of 30% movement speed on your passive and 4000 units of range on your active, instead of 25% movement speed and 3000 units. Then you continue maxing ability Starsurge and then ability Voice Of Light to finish it with ability Comet Of Legend.
But I prefer this skill order:
I wait untill I get level 4 to level up my ability comet of legend and try to go for a roam or to fight my laner; if I can't, I just push the lane and back for my Corrupting Potion and search for a play on bot-lane or help the jungle.
The resto of the skill order is just to alternate with ability Starsurge and ability celestial expansion, then do the same thing as above.
One last thing on this topic, when I'm plying jungle, I use this skill order:
Pros

|
Cons |
Why these Pros
Aurelion Sol with his ability comet of legend has an amazing map presence, and with that, you need and will learn to have really good map-awerness.
Aurelion Sol deals really good damage if played well. It does depends a lot, I don't deal that much with him because I try to roam as much as I can, but you can duel perfectly fine on lane and be a problem.
Let's be honest, Aurelion Sol's mechanics are really basic, more or less like Warwick's, that are really easy to learn, but to master, that's a whole different story.
Aurelion Sol deals AOE damage with every damage-deling ability he has, so if you're not being insta-focused, you're deffenitely the damace-dealer.
With your ability comet of legend and with the ability voice of light- ability starsurge combo, you can appear from nowere to almost insta-kill someone.
Why these Cons
Aurelion Sol is the worst champion against mele champions (main reason why I hate almost every mele champ in the game...) you can't hit them with ability starsurge to stunn them and get out, you can't hit your stars of ability center of the universe, and the only two ways to scape is ability voice of light and yout Flash.
You deal a lot of damage, but just like Anivia and Cassiopeia, you need a lot of mana to keep your damage going.
As your only two scapes from a gap-closer are your ability voice of light and your Flash, you're damn easy to focus if you don't have your team peeling you *ss.
The thing you don't know, is that if you search "pisition" on the champ selct, it appears Aurelion Sol (worts joke I've done this month, that's a new achivement), if you don't know how to position yourself, you're having a bad time. Playing Aurelion Sol can help you a lot, because you value that more now, but as is happens to me, i staw way closer to hit enemies with my stars when I'm playing Neeko, Xayah, Gnar.
Keystones
Summon AeryI prefer this rune above all, because you have a lot of DPS, and Summon Aery helps you a lot because it procks with everything. Even if it's damage got nerfed at the start of the season, it still works really well with a lot of non-support champions (not counting Mordekaiser. |
Fleet FootworkThis is my go-to rune as playing the Carry roll, or playuing against Poke such as Lux). The reason, this rune works amazingly well when you stunn them or just hit an AA to an enemy champion, because with also de movement speed you get, you can chase or scape easily. On early game the rune does not heal that much, but on early and late game... you can go to a jungle camp, hit it once and leave with the full healing of it. |
Dark HarvestThe reason, this runes almost always works. It finally got nerfed to a point that not every single champion can use it, but Aurelion Sol can, his ability celestial expansion works amazingly well with Dark Harvest, you burst someone down with your Falling Star- Breath of Light and then you can prock it with your Astral Flight if you hadn't procked it yet. |
Grater Runes
Runes

Starting Items
Corrupting PotionAs the active restores both health and mana it's amazing for Aurelion Sol, but it's even better because when you have the active and you deal damage to an enemy you'll get an extra burn to the enemy. Try to be really agressive when you activate Corrupting Potion. |
Doran's RingI use Doran's Ring when I prefer to be farming and I don't want to be too agressive to the enemy laner. The extra damage on Basic Atacks and the Mana Regeneration every 5 seconds, it will help. |
Early-Game Items
Rod of AgesYou get a lot of mana, health points and Ability Power from a single item that scales up to 10 minutes, that's amazing from Aurelion Sol, people normally start with Catalyst of Aeons, but sometimes (when you start with Doran's Ring and play passive) I recommend starting with Blasting Wand for the extra damage on short trades and easy way to farm with Cosmic Creator. |
Archangel's StaffI recommend this as the second item because of the Tear of the Goddess as the very fert item, so noe you'll have a shield when you complete this as well as 3% of your maximum mana as extra Ability Power (and we need to focus a lot on mana because of Astral Flight). |
Zhonya's HourglassThis is best vs AD champions or Assasins. You sould only buy Seeker's Armguard as the first item for de armor and de AP, and then go for the Rod of Ages but against assasins, rush Zhonya's Hourglass for the Status effect. |
Banshee's VeilThis is amazing against champions like Veigar, so you can eat Croud Controll and keep harrassing, but also for the MR. You will rush Rod of Ages and the buy Banshee's Veil as second item. |
Boots of SwiftnessThese ar the recommended boots for Aurelion Sol, the reason is that you get more constant movement speed and you resist more to slows, this helps you roam and reposition yourself. |
Mid-Game Items
Rylai's Crystal ScepterYou get a lot of Ability Power from this single item alone, as well as Health Points with an amazing passive that synergize really well with Cosmic Creator and Astral Flight. |
MorellonomiconYou use Morellonomicon almost always a a third item, you get the Maci Penn of the Oblivion Orb and the Grievous Wounds for every type of healing (yes, if you dodn't know, also de health regen an Potions, this is such a change in normal duels). |
Liandry's TormenYou buy Liandry's Torment when playing against two+ tank champions or if you have a really good teamfight on your team. |
Hextech GLP-800This can be a really good items, yes it got changed and now it is not the core item for Aurelion Sol like Rod of Ages, but acainst mele champions or champions with high mobility, that's an other story, you should defenetily consider this against something like Ekko or Wukong. |
Luden's EchoYou buy Luden's Tempest when you preer to have that burst and that CDR and you aren't considering Everfrost. I normally rush Luden's Tempest instead of Rod of Ages. |
Shurelya's ReverieI love buying this item, you get an active that gives you and your team movement speed, while getting CDR and AP. Consider this when you need a little bit of CDR or just want to help your inmobile allies like Ashe scape. |
Elixir of SorceryTHIS IS MANDATORY. I swear to god I hate when people don't buy Elixir of Sorcery on mages, it's extremely overpowered, you get mana regeneration, you get extra Ability Power, true damage on every type of magic damage and extra damage to towers. Only for 500g. |
Late-Game Items
Rabadon's DeathcapYou souldn't be so deep into late-game while playing Aurelion Sol, but if you are, Rabadon's Deathcap helps you with Gathering Storm to be usefull on late-game. |
Void StaffIt's really simple, against tanks. (What? What can I say about an items that only gives you 35% magic pen. Would you use it to heal allies?). |
Segond, thank you for reading my guide, I really love Aurelion Sol and I have a crush on that bastard Dragon...
Third, I will be updating this same guide with moreinformation and some changes I've noticed, so, keep on touch.
