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 Naafiri
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge her daggers
Dodge Darkin Daggers (Q): her pack leaps onto the first champion hit, and the second dagger hits harder if you're already bleeding.
- Kill her pack with AoE spells
If you have AoE spells, hit her pack too: each packmate killed lowers her damage. Do it before Eviscerate (E) calls them back and heals them.
- Wait out The Call of the Pack
Save your targeted spells for after The Call of the Pack (W): for a brief moment, she and her pack are untargetable.
- Don't wander alone
Avoid crossing the map alone against her: Hounds' Pursuit (R) lets her dash onto a champion from range, and a takedown lets her recast it.
