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 Lissandra
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't hug her
Don't stand right next to her when Ring of Frost (W) is up: it roots every enemy near her, and it has a 10 to 8 second cooldown.
- Cut off her Glacial Path
If you have CC, land it on her while the claw of Glacial Path (E) is traveling: immobilized, she can't blink to it, or drop on you with Ring of Frost (W).
- Fight back after her claw
After her engage, fight back: Glacial Path (E) has a 24 to 12 second cooldown, and without it, she can't reposition in an instant.
- Save a way out of her R
If you have a cleanse, save it for Frozen Tomb (R): on you, it stuns you, and the ice around you slows your allies.
