Playing as Aurelion Sol
Tips to maximize your impact
- Keep your breath on one champion
Keep Breath of Light (Q) on the same champion: each second triggers a burst of bonus damage and gives you Stardust.
- Farm your Stardust
Farm with Singularity (E): every enemy that dies inside, minions included, gives you Stardust, which permanently strengthens all your abilities.
- Fly to escape or chase
Cast Astral Flight (W) to escape a gank or to chase: during the flight, Breath of Light (Q) has no cooldown and no channel limit.
- Hit several champions with your R
Cast Falling Star (R) on several enemies: it stuns them, and each champion hit gives you Stardust to upgrade your next cast into The Skies Descend (R).
Playing against Ahri
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Keep minions between you and her: Charm (E) stops on the first enemy hit, and without it her burst lands far less often.
- Dodge the return of her orb
If you can only dodge one pass of Orb of Deception (Q), dodge the return: it deals true damage, which your resistances don't reduce.
- Play hard when her R is down
Play hard once she has used the dashes of Spirit Rush (R): she has nothing left to escape with, and its cooldown is 140 to 100 seconds.
- Group up when she roams
When she roams, avoid walking through the jungle alone: Charm (E) then Spirit Rush (R) let her catch an isolated target by surprise.
