Tips to maximize your impact
- Approach camouflaged
Approach camouflaged with Ambush (Q), then start the fight: when you leave camouflage, you gain bonus attack speed.
- Catch up with Venom Cask
Throw Venom Cask (W) at an enemy fleeing out of your range: the cloud slows them and adds a Deadly Venom (passive) stack every second.
- Poison before you contaminate
Apply as many Deadly Venom (passive) stacks as you can before Contaminate (E): each stack adds damage, and the spell hits every poisoned enemy within 1200 range.
- Shoot through their frontline
During Spray and Pray (R), stay back and aim at their carries through the frontline: your bolts pierce every enemy, with less damage after the first.
- Camouflage again after a kill
When a champion dies poisoned by Deadly Venom (passive), Ambush (Q) comes back right away: recast it to reposition in the middle of the teamfight.
Playing against Aurelion Sol
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Breath of Light (Q) hits the first enemy in its path, and only the seconds spent on a champion give him Stardust.
- Play hard early
Play hard early and don't let the game drag on: with Cosmic Creator (passive), each of Aurelion Sol's abilities grows permanently stronger through Stardust.
- Get out of the black hole fast
Leave Singularity (E) quickly: it pulls you toward its center, where it executes enemies below a health threshold, and each second inside gives him Stardust.
