Playing as Aurelion Sol

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. Farm your Stardust

    Farm with Singularity (E): every enemy that dies inside, minions included, gives you Stardust, which permanently strengthens all your abilities.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Katarina

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from her daggers

    Stay away from her daggers on the ground: when she picks one up, Voracity (passive) hits every nearby enemy, and Shunpo (E) lets her blink to it.

  2. Trade after her Shunpo

    Trade right after Shunpo (E): it's her only blink, and it has a 12 to 8 second cooldown, less if she picks up a dagger.

  3. Save your CC for her Lotus

    If you have CC, save it for Death Lotus (R): it's a channel, and interrupting it stops its damage.

  4. Don't count on your healing

    Don't count on your healing during Death Lotus (R): each knife applies Grievous Wounds, which reduces healing received.
