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 Lucian
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Punish his dash
Punish him after an aggressive dash: Relentless Pursuit (E) has a 16 to 14 second cooldown, only reduced when his double shots hit.
- Step back after each burst
Back off after each of his spells: Lightslinger (passive) doubles the next auto, so his damage comes in short bursts.
- Poke him from outside his range
If your attack range beats his 500 units, poke him from outside it: he then has to use Relentless Pursuit (E) to get back on you.
- Drag the game out
If you survive the laning phase, play for time: Lucian is strongest early and loses impact once everyone has their items.
