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 Ashe
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Short trades
Take short trades: each auto slows you with Frost Shot (passive), and her autos deal more damage to slowed targets.
- Back off during her Focus
Back off when she activates Ranger's Focus (Q): for a few seconds, her attack speed rises and each auto becomes a flurry of arrows.
- Punish her lack of mobility
If you can engage, go for her when her support drifts away: her kit has no dash, only slows.
- Dodge her long-range arrow
Prioritize dodging Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) fired from far away: the farther the arrow has traveled, the longer the stun.
