Aurelion Sol's Best Skins

'Storm Dragon Aurelion Sol' (Ao Shin) is the best skin. 'Mecha' is clunky. 'Ashen Lord' is fire. Default is majestic.

'Storm Dragon' (Ao Shin) is the only acceptable skin. The visual on the E is much more intimidating and the R looks like a world-ending event. 'Mecha' feels like a clunky transformer—avoid it if you want to feel like a cosmic god.

'Storm Dragon Aurelion Sol' (Ao Shin) is the best skin, hands down. 'Mecha' feels clunky and rigid. 'Ashen Lord' is great if you like fire. Default is majestic enough if you're saving RP.

When They Ban Aurelion Sol

Veigar and Smolder are your infinite scaling brothers. If you go for Corki, focus on the roams. You'll miss the safety of the Black Hole (E), but your burst will be significantly higher mid-game. Scalers unite.

Veigar offers infinite scaling and a 'delete' button. Smolder has the stack mechanic and execute. Corki provides the package roam. Veigar is your best bet for the 'scailng monster' identity.

Aurelion Sol's Best & Worst Matchups

Mana Mismanagement

Late game, you can W from your jungle all the way to mid lane. Use this for surprise flanks. Most people don't expect a dragon to fly over a wall at 200 mph. It's your best tool for catching priority targets out of position.

When They Dive Through Your Zone

Dodge Yone or Fizz. They have infinite dashes to get out of your Q/E and stick to you. You can't peel them.

Yone and Fizz will ruin your day. They jump over your E and stick to you like glue. If you're against them, play for the scale and stay under your tower. You aren't winning the 1v1 until you have 300+ stacks and Rylai's.

Dodge Yone or Fizz. They have infinite dashes to get out of your Q/E and stick to you. You can't peel them, and your W just makes you an easier target. You are stardust against them.

The Combo Window

In teamfights, lay down E to zone/stack. Charge Q on the frontline (it pierces? No, hits first target but splashes AOE). Use R2 (The Skies Descend) to knock up the entire enemy team. Position cleverly with W to beam them while moving.

E first to group them, then channel Q. If you land R2 (The Skies Descend), you should have already started your W to fly in and finish them off. Aurelion Sol is a teamfight monster—if you hit a 5-man R, the game is over.

The Burst Mage Build

Pure AP Asol. Rylai's -> Liandry's -> Void Staff. The slow from Rylai's + Q beam means they can never escape. They just slowly burn to death.

If they have a lot of MR, Void Staff is non-negotiable. Don't rely on your stacks to do the work. You need the pen to actually melt the tanks.

Pure AP Asol: Rylai's -> Liandry's -> Void Staff. The slow from Rylai's combined with Q beam means they can never escape. They just slowly burn to death while you hover menacingly.

Aurelion Sol's Power Spikes

200 Stacks (R2 Unlock?). Rylai's purchase. Level 9 (Q max infinite mana sustain roughly).

200 stacks is the 'I'm a champion now' mark. Once you hit that, your R becomes a global threat. Level 9 is where your Q doesn't cost an arm and a leg to channel. Use that to permanently shove lane and roam.

200 Stacks (R2 Unlock) is when you become a real champion. Rylai's purchase makes you a utility god. Level 9 (Q max) gives you infinite mana sustain to shove and roam forever.

The Skillshot Snipe

Type 'Boop' (from old Asol passive, RIP). Dropping a gigantic star (R2) that covers the whole lane is inherently tilting. 'Star Forger' flex.
