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 Lux
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Keep two minions between you and her
Stay behind at least two minions: Light Binding (Q) roots the first two enemies hit, so a single minion doesn't protect you.
- Step up when she misses Q
Step up when Light Binding (Q) misses you: it's her only root, with a 10-second cooldown, and she has no dash to escape.
- Get out of her singularity fast
Step out to the side as soon as Lucent Singularity (E) lands: the zone slows you, then explodes when it expires or when Lux detonates it.
- Don't run in a straight line
At low health, change direction as you back off: Final Spark (R) is a straight beam that reaches very far and fires after a charge-up.
