Laning Phase

Aurelion Sol's most powerful trait is his roaming. His roaming is unparalleled by any other champion. This is because of his E passive which gives him a lot of movement speed when running in a striaght line and his E active that allows him to fly over terrain making for good ganks. The key to succeeding in the laning phase is by finding ways to shove the minion wave into the enemy laner's tower by using your Celestial Expansion to give you enough time to roam to sidelanes. Most Aurelion Sol players try a technique that requires you to hard shove the first 3 waves while using your corrupting potions, this will make you level 3 and you should usually have enough gold to buy a dark seal and maybe a control ward. The ideal scenario would be to return to lane and continue to push the wave to roam to top or bot lane but there are many champions that make it very hard for Aurelion Sol to do this so take a look at the champion matchup guide above to learn how to make the best of your counters.

Teamfighting

Aurelion Sol is scary in teamfights because his W creates a zone that you do not want to get close to because with the right items his stars do a LOT of damage. Aurelion Sol also brings a decent amount of CC with his Q and ult. While Aurelion Sol brings much to a team he is very underwhelming in a team without a frontline, this is because assassins can jump onto Aurelion Sol and burst him down if nobody stops them, this is why Aurelion Sol is very team dependent and is not one of the best solocarry champions in the game.

Items

Core


Corrupting Potions help Aurelion Sol deal with his mana issues early on when he doesn't have any mana items yet. This also allows him to shove the first 3 waves to rush a dark seal buy at level 3.

The Dark Seal is great because it synergizes very well with Corrupting Potions which you will be starting with on Aurelion Sol, it also gives you the ability to buy a Mejai's Soulstealer if you have the stacks on your Dark Seal.

Hextech GLP-800 is perfect for Aurelion Sol because not only does it give him all the stats that he needs but it also comes with a great active effect which is something you can use when target are in your inner range.

Boots Of Swiftness are the ideal boots for Asol because more movement speed indirectly translates into more damage by letting you land your stars on enemy champions.

Rylai's Crystal Scepter works very well with Aurelion Sol because it gives him more utility for teamfights, basically providing a large aoe slow as long as Aurelion can keep his Celestial Expansion on.

More Damage


Liandry's Torment can almost be considered a core item due to the 3 item power spike Aurelion Sol gets when combined with Hextech GLP-800 and Rylai's Crystal Scepter because all 3 of these items give Health and AP. In addition Liandry's Torment also synergizes very well with Rylai's Crystal Scepter.

Void Staff is a good choice when the enemy team is building MR because when Aurelion Sol has a Void Staff in conjunction with a Liandry's Torment he can quite literally obliterate even tanks.

The AP that Rabadon's Deathcap offers is just too good to pass up for late game so if you don't need any defensive items try to make room for a last item Deathcap.

Defensive Options


Abyssal Mask is an amazing replacement for Hextech GLP-800 if you are stuck in a bad ap assassin matchup. While you're missing out on some good AP, the passive 10% increased magic damage effect helps make up for it in return for some MR.

Zhonya's Hourglass is a must have against teams with AD assassins. With the Season 8 rune Perfect Timing, Zhonya's Hourglass is even more accessible to you, giving even more reason to buy one.

Banshee's Veil is a good option in case the enemy team is composed of a lot of AP or if an AP builder on their team got fed. The passive effect is very nice too.

Summoner Spells

Flash is a must have for Aurelion Sol.
Ghost is your go to summoner spell, on Aurelion Sol movement speed is a combat stat, ghost helps you weave in and out of harm's way in teamfights.
Exhaust is great when laning against assassins with high burst damage because it allows you to survive their all in. It also helps you land your stars on targets because of the slow that comes with it.
Cleanse is amazing in some matchups like Veigar or Lux to get you out of bad positions.
