Introduction Hey guys! Welcome to my guide on Aurelion Sol, the Star Forger! My name is Solgaleo aka George! Now, not many people play Aurelion Sol at all. I’m one of the few people that have dedicated myself to him, and I’m going to share with you what I know and what you should do to make yourself a good Aurelion Sol! The star dragon is a battle mage whose objective relies on roaming, positioning and experience on him. Practicing him makes perfect. I’ll be going through a short summary of why I play Aurelion Sol myself, the standard setups you want to play him with, every mid lane matchup (no niche picks like Lucian mid), Playing the game as him in every phase and finally Tips/Tricks, Combos and a FAQ section!
Why Aurelion Sol? The main reasons why I play Aurelion Sol are #1: Because he’s a space dragon. Say that again, he is a “space dragon”. I think that’s downright one of the most badass traits you can have. Aside from my bias of loving dragons and dinosaurs since I was a kid, Aurelion Sol is definitely one of the most eye appealing champions to look at. Going to reason #2: He is single handedly one of the most fun champions I have ever played in my time playing League of Legends. I got mastery level 5 in the 1st day of playing Aurelion Sol (more like in the span of the 1st 24 hours he was released. Yes that was also 25 wins or so), from this, you could tell I was dedicated to this champion. 1 year later he is my most played by a large margin. Finally, reason #3: I was inspired by my friends to keep playing him after they saw how good I was on him. After those 25 wins or so, I barely died, I got all the kills, and got a Pentakill. They saw potential in me, therefore they pushed me to use him in Dynamic Queue (I know, I know), I got Diamond in that season and here I am finishing in Diamond 1 in season 7.
Runes and Summoners With the Runes Reforged; there has been multiple added playstyles with the addition of them. I will show my personal favourite page, and the other possible keystones. Phase Rush + Inspiration 1 (My preferred):
Phase Rush + Inspiration 2 (Vs. Assassins):
Phase Rush + Resolve (Vs Assassins/Endgame):
Glacial Augment + Sorcery (Popular amongst Sol mains, not recommended):
The best Keystone to take on Aurelion Sol has to be Phase Rush. With the synergy it provides, it’s almost as if Stormraider’s was never removed. However it is a lot less powerful early game, you now have slow resistance still. But, it is much better later on in the game at a whopping 45% bonus movespeed. With that in mind, Aurelion Sol can proc Phase Rush off his stars alone, meaning it is very easy to activate this keystone. The second rune in the Sorcery Tree is a contest between 2, them being Nullifying Orb and Nimbus Cloak. Vs AP Matchups you want to take Nullifying Orb, as it is a free mini hexdrinker on a 60 second cooldown, it is most certainly nullifying your chances of dying to these mages. Nimbus Cloak you want to take vs other mid lane matchups such as Talon/Zed/Yasuo and more that can get inside your orbit in the later stages, it will be much more effective than null orb for you to be able to get away from the assassin in hand (even if they’re AP). The third rune in the Sorcery Tree is no contest, Celerity is what you want. The bonus movespeed you are missing from the old Runes are packed here, yes you are missing 0.5% but extra movespeed is converted to AP, which means your E movespeed and the next rune Waterwalking adds to this bonus. Waterwalking as mentioned above is the last rune you want to take, this is because it synergises so well with your playstyle as a whole. Gathering Storm is good, however Waterwalking gives you bonus AP and Move Speed in the river, which is insane for a roamer like Aurelion Sol. Inspiration 1: These two runes are my new preferred and for good reason; Minion dematerialiser gives you the priority in lane which you need (by using them on cannon minions), you also use one on a caster creep as well as a melee creep. This boosts your damage towards all three types of minion (except super minions) and help you shove quicker and easier. Time water tonic is exceedingly good in the early game as it bolsters your corrupting potion EVEN MORE than Dark Seal would. As a bonus, it even gives you move speed while you’re using it, making roams more efficient. Although the nerfs made it have a cooldown, it’s still very valued. Inspiration 2: I take this vs Assassins, it is almost compulsory to take the free stopwatch for obvious reasons. Then the Futures Market rune allows you to buy your early items quicker, and obtain later items just as quick. You are able to get the responsible resistance items (Cloth Armor, Null Magic Mantle) on the 1st back as well. If you are willing to risk Magical Footwear, I personally don’t, but it gives 10 extra Movespeed if you want it. Resolve: When you are wanting more HP, this is the tree to go, I have played with this one more than the inspiration tree vs Assassins and it does the job. The armour/magic resist you were missing in the runes before are in this tree, under Conditioning.
The last set of runes I will go on about is Glacial Augment, a lot of Aurelion Sol mains are taking this in synergy with GLP (Yes some still do this). The Auto attacks slow early game which is one of ASol’s key points in the game, but in my opinion, it is not needed.
Summoner spells
That list is primarily one I follow. Ignite is my go to summoner for 90% of matches, Ghost if I need to kite more often in fights/if I need the extra damage, Cleanse vs Elise and a follow up, and then Exhaust vs Champs that require damage nullification. (i.e. Zed) Barrier and Heal are options, but I rarely take them since I learnt to Exhaust, I find that 100 times better for my playstyle. Take them if you wish, but I’m not a fan of them anymore. Teleport should NOT be used, simply because you will only manage to use it once. And should NEVER be the 2nd to react to any fight.
Skill Order
I look to max W 1st but at level 8, instead of pointing Q, I put an extra point in E. This is because the E range from lvl 1 doubles at lvl 2, so it's nice to get that extra range. Putting a point in R when you can and maxing Q after putting a 2nd point in E.
General Build Sol’s build is normally the same throughout all matchups, with minor changes in between each champion. To start, every game you play requires a Corrupting Potion. This is because you can spam these in lane when pushing, replenishing your mana to push more and heal yourself. This is then followed up by a Dark Seal at your 1st back to bolster your Corruption Potion stats. After Dark Seal, get Tier 1 Boots. Next up is your RoA, and in every matchup, you go for the Catalyst portion, as the ive/stats are much better than the Blasting Wand. You should ALWAYS look to finish your RoA ASAP. Tier 2 boots before the second item, which is Rylais. After it, the next item should be either Morellonomicon vs squishy team comps, then vs tanky team comps you want Liandry’s.. The fourth item should be a Rabadon’s. As you can really start being a threat once you finish the hat, it makes up for the missing AP you don’t get as a standard mage. If needed, a Void Staff can be built before it. Finish up your build with what you see fit towards the team comps!
Matchups In this section I rate each viable mid lane champion (nothing like Lucian mid) from Easy - Hard, then give an explanation of how to play vs them in lane, whether you can/should roam and how to play teamfights around the champion. (Take note that they are my opinions) (Everything in Magenta is written by another Sol main)
Ahri - Medium Ahri is not a threat to you at all pre-6, so you just shove her in and look for roams as early as possible, however, she IS a threat post 6 because of her ult. It gets harder to play vs her as an inexperienced Sol as she can get inside of your orbit with ease, dodge her Charm and you will kill her, get hit by it you will die most likely. Once you have MR it shouldn't be too hard as you outscale her at every point. Pick her off in fights as she tries to assassinate your carries, exhaust her as she charms someone or starts ulting. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Akali - Medium Akali, reworked and remade into an assassin that is heavily punishing, should you make the incorrect decisions. Pre-6 you’re just fine, she can’t do much, throwing a Q is all she’s got for the first few minutes of the game (but be careful of E), you can really exploit this buy beating her down with your W, Q and Autos. Then comes level 6, you want to stay FAR away from her (where appropriate) to stop yourself from getting all inned. If you’re unsure where she is in the shroud, she may as well be on top of you, be careful, she is a threat post lane phase, keep your toes on the ground for this matchup! Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 2.
Anivia - Medium Anivia is personally one of my most hated matchups, a good Anivia can REALLY rough up your day, her gank set up and damage output is INSANE.. post 6. Before 6, you want to shove her in as frequently as possible and roam as much as you can, she CANNOT follow you without TP. At 6 she just matches your shove and gives you a run for your money with how much damage she can pump out. Focus her in teamfights as she is a HUGE teamfight threat over 1 area, and you should be fine. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Annie - Medium
I've seen many struggle vs Annie but i've gotten used to it. You should just shove and roam as much as you can, if you see her walk up to you with her stun; it is most likely you are getting ganked. If she steps up without it (less than 3 stacks), you can go for a trade and Q her with 2 W procs. You burst faster than her at all points in the game should you dodge the stun, exhaust her if you feel necessary vs her because she does still do a lot of dmg. She is a menace in teamfights with Tibbers, this AOE can be annoying, but once she’s used it, you can kill her easily.Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (She bursts faster imo but has a way shorter range than your burst which is the reason she is a Medium not a hard matchup, also in endgame you usually survive her burst)
Azir - Easy Through my time of playing vs Azir, it's been awkward, because some know what they're doing in lane and can poke you down and outtrade you, however, he cannot kill you if you play it right, as much of fancy Shurima Shuffle's he can do, you simply have more burst In your kit for him. He will outscale you in fights, but is SUPER vulnerable to a combo from you. Try and roam as much as you can. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (Azir is sometimes an annoying matchup because I can't seem to kill him due to his mobility and he has brutal gank setup. Due to this I personally would even put him Medium or vs a good Azir even Hard)
Brand - Easy I haven't played vs much Brand's but all 4 times I have I've managed to stop him from doing anything, he does have reliable waveclear but by the time he's killed the minions, you've killed their bot lane. So make sure to roam whenever you can, aswell as stay in minions if you plan to fight him as the E Q can catch you out, so stay in minions. You outscale him heavily in the later game, although he has a LARGE teamfight presence. Be careful of that and full combo if you need to. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (Brand’s 6 Item spike is on fire and better than sols 6 item spike so he is a LIT Hyper Endgame champ. Other than that he is pretty much strong early (Level 6) in fights where he loses a lot of momentum later and then get’s his strength back with 6 items compared to other champs in his class)
Cassiopeia - Medium Against Cassiopeia, when you walk forward to push, she looks to E you. You will get outtraded because it's guaranteed damage (unless you are experienced with Sol and you hit your stars, go ahead and try), just try and shove and roam vs her, when it comes to fighting her, you want to move as much as possible to dodge Q procs, you can damage her without facing her, this is the best way to deal with her, OR, you can predict her R, you can Q her as she ults you and it
will be a similar stun length, you are naturally tankier with Catalyst, so you can kill her with your R aswell. She likes to use a lot of mana, work your trades around that. Cassiopeia's later game is weaker than earlier points in the game, even if she has 6 items, you can burst her before she can press E, just full combo if she's fed and she dies. You have a much stronger teamfight presence. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (I would add that if you know you are going to get hit by her Q just instantly run for your life as if she procs her Phase Rush she will be able to chase you down and out damage you at the same time so prevent her getting Phase Rush if you know she will be able to proc it)
Corki - Medium Corki is a hard matchup for me, I’m not 100% sure on how to deal with him. He likes to keep you in lane, but you shouldn’t have a problem laning against him as he can miss his Q most of the time. You can’t roam much as he just contests the shove easily, maybe not early on, but definitely around level 4. He likes to act as an ADC in teamfights, so just blow him up when you see the chance. Can be tricky if he buys Maw however. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (Corki doesn't even remotely outscale sol as he is only good early and ok mid. His endgame is only ok with good consistent damage and ok burst compared to sol who even hasn't the best endgame. Also you have tons of kill pressure if you proc Phase Rush and he pushed you in as you can run his w distance with ease. His roaming also sucks vs sol as a good sol pushes out always and as soon as you hear that siren you just go to the lane he is most likely going to visit. Once he commits there it’s his death sentence as you are there with way more consistent damage and general damage. In lane he doesn’t even remotely compare to sol’s push. His W sucks for pushing, his e isn’t great either and his Q is ok at best)
Diana - Medium I haven't played vs much Diana either, but I have managed to beat all of them, she is really easy to poke out pre 6, and she doesn't have reliable waveclear that early on, therefore you can look for roams. Post 6 is an issue, she can get inside your stars and cancel them aswell. As she ults and E's, ult her away and chain with Q and exhaust if needed. She has a lot of surprising burst. You are a better teamfighter, but she can delete your ADC. So peel for them by stunning her and exhausting aswell. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration. (She is pretty much the same as Akali just easier and with less jumps so you shouldn’t Diana)
Ekko - Hard Ekko is considered hard because of his overall kit. He is quite formidable because his Q slows you, then he blinks forward with his E, followed by his move speed bonus which allows him to get away with a free trade. Trades with him become difficult because of his ive more than
any other of his abilities. If he is at critical health he can just R, BUT WATCH HIS TRAIL, he will look to use it to all in you again... He can dodge all your abilities with his R. At level 9 he can start Qing a wave and it dies in a single cast, so use the time before this to shove him in and roam. He can counter your ganks with a well timed TP (he normally takes this) so be prepared for him to react to you top or bot. His main goal will be to split push, so look for teamfights where he can't and you should be fine. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 2.
Fizz - Hard With Fizz, it is very important you shove him in and watch his levels, he gets powerspikes very often and can kill you if you don't work around the waves. He won't all in you if you're in a stack of minions. If he hits 6, he can kill you with ease, even under tower if you're not careful. Exhaust is CRUCIAL to use as he lands the fish, as his burst is massively cut. You can then ult him back (assuming he already E'd on you) to stop him from killing you further. He can waveclear once he has some points in E. So he can then follow you after that. His counter ganks are strong with R, and not so strong without, focus him in teamfights if you don't want him to assassinate everyone. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 2. ( Fizz is very fishy in the sense that you can’t use all your spells early to block a bit of damage but rather you have to take that damage and then use your disengage because else he will just kill you by jumping over ult)
Galio - Easy I've played vs Galio a few times when he became a mid pick, it was no challenge beating him as he was so susceptible to poke and damage from me, however, his set up for ganks are really good. You can prevent this by staying further back and/or dodging his E, do so and you will be fine. He can also follow your roams really well, as he has nice waveclear. His teamfights are more oriented towards tanking damage for his team, you don’t need to focus him in later fights, but rather watch out for his CC. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Gangplank - Easy Gangplank doesn't offer much damage at all early on, maybe he will Q you twice or so, BUT he will not be able to outtrade you at any point of the early game, shove him in as he has no reliable waveclear (barrels do no damage early) so shove in and look for roams, you have minimal kill pressure in lane because of his oranges, so ask for a gank to chain cc him. He can follow up your roam with an R himself however. He also outscales you immensely, doing more damage overall than you in a teamfight (should he land barrels). Try and exhaust him if he comes into range and kill him. Take Phase Rush +Inspiration 1.
Heimerdinger - Easy As Heimerdinger sets up his turrets, you can start taking them out, he cannot keep them up and you can shove him in really well early game. He can set up a gank with Ult E so be careful of that. He also cannot follow your roams at all. In teamfights he is nothing more than a nuisance when behind. Take Phase Rush +Inspiration 1.
Jayce - Hard Jayce is a rather annoying matchup. He can and WILL outtrade you at all points in the lane, his obnoxious ranged poke and melee all in make him a task for Sol. However, Jayce cannot contest the shove early on. So you can freely push him in, but as the waves meet in the middle, he can all in you when you activate W (if he doesn't he is a bad Jayce and he will lose the trade), and you will 9 times out of 10 lose the trade. His teamfighting is decent compared to most champions, he can EQ from afar and poke your team, you can out damage him in a teamfight, but don't be surprised if he wipes out one or 2 if he is already ahead.Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 2.
Karthus - Easy Karthus will always try and hit you out of minions for extra damage, you're too fast for him, so you get free shoves every time, he can only reliably follow up a gank with his R, but even then, the damage is done. Once he missteps in lane you can punish and kill him easily. In teamfights, look out for his positioning, if its close to your team, ult him away to minimise his ive's use. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (An amazing Karthus can outdamage you early though so try and always dodge his Q or else you might be BONED ← Please add that joke to your guide xD)
Kassadin - HARD Kassadin is theoretically Sol's hardest matchup. 2 abilities in his kit directly counter Sol, them being the Q (which stops channels, and your ive is a channel) and the R, which is in essence a gapcloser/dash to get inside your orbit. As Sol, you want to make sure he is nowhere near you when pushing early, or catching you out (he can kill you). If you are brave enough to pick Sol into him, or have been picked into, this is how you beat him: Walk in the middle of the minion wave WITHOUT YOUR W ON (not only does this waste your mana since he can stop you, but he will also be inclined to Q you anyway.) in this case you will not be punished as such for turning your W on, AFTER he Q's you, turn your W on and push the wave, if he doesn't Q
you, then that's ok, because your ive will push for you. When you shove in the 3 waves, you want go back and look for roams, YOU DO NOT WANT TO LANE VS HIM. Shove in coming waves and instantly look for roams, help your jungler invade, get someone ahead. This way you aren't the only issue for their team, and you can beat Kassadin using your own team. However should he engage on you in lane, R him away and stun him, he can stick onto you very easily. Kassadin also outscales you HEAVILY. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (Endgame he can’t one shot you anymore and he takes a lot longer to kill you and getting rid of him is not all too hard as your burst combo triggers your Phase Rush. Laning pre 6 vs him is pretty easy even as long as you keep that trick in mind so I wouldn’t say that you don’t want to lane vs him after 3 waves.)
Karma - Medium I’ve only ever played vs Karma once in my time playing Sol, nevertheless, you will sometimes lane vs her. She can Mantra Q the wave level 1, and try to contest the shove, but she can’t because you shove way too fast. Also, if she decides to Mantra Q you, then you get the free shove. Trading with her is somewhat hard due to her shields and snare, as she can easily get inside your orbit, it’s a nightmare for newer Sol players, an experienced one should have no issues in lane with her. Look to roam as well, since she can’t follow relatively well without TP. Come teamfights, she will have MUCH more presence in them, as she can shield the entire team. You have to either kill her or the carries before shields are applied. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Katarina - Hard Katarina is borderline medium/hard for me because I'm so used to playing vs her. She cannot contest your early game push, but come level 3, she can kill you very easily, STAY AWAY FROM HER DAGGERS. When she hits level 6 she will want to all in you again, you can either R where she lands to stop her ult, or simply Q her to stop her. You can roam relatively easily, just be careful since she can follow you well. Exhaust her when you feel necessary, don't hold onto it. She can do a LOT of dmg in short amounts of time, you outscale in fights. However she can assassinate you, so be careful of that. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (Also if she engages you near a turret with a Q -> jump on you ult her into turret BEFORE she catches her W on you. That way she loses that w damage and can’t jump out of turret range anymore. The timing is very tight but when done correctly the reward is usually a summoner or a kill)
Kayle - Easy I've played vs Kayle once. And she almost won the game because she HEAVILY outscales you. But nevertheless, she is weaker than you in lane, therefore you can punish her and roam, she
can't follow you at all. Watch out for her R at 6 though, save stun for that duration of her R and you will kill her. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
LeBlanc - Medium LeBlanc has been reverted. And boy, It brings nightmares back to me, she’s a HUGE threat in lane as she can answer you in every trade possible. There is however, one thing that stops her from completely dominating the game, and that is her waveclear, she doesn’t have it anymore as they’ve forced it back onto her W, her main damage tool. Do not underestimate her as she can do a lot of burst damage. Until you get RoA, you should be tanky enough to not get oneshot by her, judging that you never gave her kills. Due to her waveclearing being sub par, you can take the opportunity to shove and roam if she wastes W. Look out for her later game, she’s one of the best champions for pick potential! Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Lissandra - Easy Lissandra can bully you in lane, but you should bully her more as you shove faster, she can't follow you when you roam. In teamfights she becomes a MONSTER, she has enough damage in her kit to chunk/kill your backline, exhaust timing is CRITICAL if you want to survive Lissandra's teamfight potential. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (Also try and always stay away from her in teamfights while you are near the frontline as her ulting you may destroy you)
Lux - Easy Lux should not kill you at ANY point in this lane. If you position yourself to the side and start shoving, she either has to E the minions or try and E you, and if she E's you, you've already won the lane. You also should never get tagged by Q, as you are too fast for her. As well as if she wastes her Q on the minion wave, or simply misses it, it should allow you to pretty much run her down. However later on, she can catch you off-guard and one-shot you, if you have built no MR. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Malzahar - Medium If Malz is good, he will start E and contest the shove. If he is bad, he will Q you and waste mana on getting shoved in anyway, you can poke him and remove his shield more or less all the time. His ult is lethal if you are getting ganked, because this means certain death. If you sense you are getting ganked, back up and farm under tower. Roam as much as you can so you get your team ahead early on. In teamfights, Malzahar looks to lock down 1 person, and you have 2 ways of stopping him, do so and he will be useless in the rest of the fight. Take Phase Rush +
Inspiration 1. (Post 6 don’t get too close to malzahar while his minions are near you. Ult is pretty much only lethal for Sol if the minions are not spawned right before he ults you)
Orianna - MEDIUM Orianna is a really obnoxious champion, as she has waveclear, damage and good roam potential with ghost. The matchup theoretically is a 60/40 in favour of Sol, once you get tankier with ROA and a null magic, this makes it so that even if she hits her ult you will just punish her later on for using it on you. The first 13 minutes or so are completely in your favour, giving you every chance to roam. Eventually when she finishes Ludens she will look to outrade you, however you too long ranged for her even with her ball, throw a Q and you’ll force her to walk away. WATCH HER BALL AT ALL TIMES OF THE GAME. It's KEY to know when she has pressed Q or not so you can go in for a trade or not. One of the easiest ways as Orianna is to R flash Sol, but she can't do this if you flash aswell. Orianna has REALLY strong teamfight presence with her R, try not to get caught by it and you will win the teamfight if she misses this. A good Orianna can make your life hell, a bad one you just win. Almost too easy to outplay if you pay attention to where her ball is. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (Her waveclear is not all too great. It’s good but not good enough to counter Sol. Also her nerfed Q and E make it even easier)
Ryze - Easy The annoying thing about Ryze is that he has great gank set up. He can be really obnoxious to trade with because of his ive shield and can run away with Phase Rush, should you stun him, as of now, you should win the trade. He can follow your roams as he has decent waveclear and can follow with ult, but you are the MUCH better teamfighter because you have more AoE. (Seraphs monkaS). Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Swain - Medium Swain’s rework took him to new heights, and new lows. Sol can exploit one of them, and that is lack of instant wave clear, his new Q, W and E are what it takes to remove a wave. Swain can catch you with his E though, so be careful of that, it’s fairly slow moving and can only root you from the behind. His Ult turns the tides in teamfights, so you must be careful of that, exhaust and stun him where appropriate to stop him from getting close to you or your teammates, he’s normally played Top from what I see but in the event he’s mid, dodge E, shove, roam. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Syndra - MEDIUM Syndra is a skillshot based champion, and your movespeed as a whole makes it hard for her to hit you, a good Syndra will stun you as you press W to push/not waste the E on the wave, a good Sol will dodge clockwise/anticlockwise, making her skillshots miss while still damaging her with stars, her strongest part is her combo, which is why you need to dodge the majority of the Q's and W's, exhaust her as she presses R, if you don't do this, you most likely die. You are able to trade with a Syndra so long as you get MR, otherwise you are punished more heavily if you are hit by her skills. She has HUGE teamfight potential with the ability to eliminate an ADC or you. You have to be prepared to exhaust or kill her during a fight, a good combo can delete her just as well. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.(Also her E alone can get very annoying as it pushes you back slightly if you are in your W range which deactivates your stars so don’t expect to kill one if her e is not already on cd)
Taliyah - Easy This is an interesting matchup, both of you have the same goal. Shove in and roam to sidelanes to get them ahead. Therefore there is a stalemate in the priority. You shove faster at level 1, and post then, you are equal. If you see her off on the side, you can follow her, but she can also follow you. If she wants to fight, 9 times out of 10 you win the matchup 1v1 because you are faster, you have more burst, and you can exhaust her. By the time teamfights come, just kill her everytime she mispostions. She still does a lot of damage, so be careful of that. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (Also her Level 1 damage can kill sol if you are very reckless in mage matchups early so be careful of that. Also noting what summoners she took can help. If she has Ignite then she will probably want to kill you Level 1 or Level 3)
Talon - Hard Talon is able to get mid priority on you, which you want, make sure you're ready to start shoving in ASAP. When you shove him in the 2nd time round, he will hit level 2 and most likely look to WQ or QW you, take this trade and he will regret it when you Q him after, at 6, he will look to all in you, if you suspect he will Q R, just ult him and chain with stun, he CAN kill you. Talon is just as good a roamer as you, he can eventually match your shove and follow you to wherever you lead off to, as with most other assassins, his teamfight is lacking, you are better than him in teamfights should you not get caught by him. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 2.
Twisted Fate - Easy TF can be annoying in lane with his stun card, this leads to ganks, however, you can also trade back with your own stun and a few W procs. He can waveclear once he levels up more. Therefore you can roam early on and not get punished for it. Post 6, you can be followed, BUT, you can throw a stun to where he is landing (should he land visible to you) and normally he dies from this. Peel your backline in fights vs TF as he can almost oneshot your ADC. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Veigar - Medium I've gotten used to playing vs Veigar so I find it easy. But again, a new Sol player will struggle. When he wants to win a trade, he will put his cage down, and a bad Sol will lose the trade/get stunned and combo'd. Move around in his E, then you cannot get stunned/hurt by his abilities. When he tries to ult you, exhaust him as you see the projectile, because you won't die in this case, and kill him. In teamfights, you NEED to catch him out otherwise your team will all die to him alone. Exhaust when you can and full combo him. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Vel'Koz - Easy Vel'Koz is rather easy, but can be annoying. When he uses E to clear minions you can run at him with stun and outtrade him. Be careful at post 6 because he can burst you down and kill you with his R. You can still stop it using Q or R, but you should exhaust and run. He has reliable waveclear (but a long CD) so you can roam, but expect him to follow. He does HUGE damage in teamfights, but is really immobile, so if you catch him, he is dead. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Viktor - Medium I have beaten Viktors, and I have lost to Viktors. He can match your shove once he completes his 1st upgrade, but you should be bullying him way before this, starve his CS count by shoving him in and roaming, once he completes his item, he can 1v1 you with ease. His R cancels your stars, his Q gives him movespeed and he can also slow you. So be careful of him, and exhaust with full combo, and he should die. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Vladimir - Easy Vlad has really short range for a mage, but he has a lot of sustain so he can stay in lane for ages, but he cannot waveclear well early on. He is also very safe so don't try to kill him without secure confidence, roam as much as possible and get your team to help you with him. Executioners is key vs him as a team, so ask your ADC to buy one. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Xerath - Easy Xerath is in my opinion Sol's easiest lane. He is immobile, his only safety in his kit is a skillshot, and you win the extended trades. You are too fast for him so you dodge the stun and stun him instead and win the trade. Roam to ruin his teams day, he can only ult from afar, so he can't reliably follow you. In teamfights, you want to focus him, as he can kill your backline by poking them constantly, you can kill him easily because he is so immobile. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (His e has ok speed so if he positions like he should further away from you, you have to run straight at him which makes landing it not too hard for a good Xerath. You have to dodge it or else it is a big block though and if it hits you don’t expect to get anything vs him)
Yasuo - Hard Yasuo is a funny one. He is hard to deal with as a new Sol, but as you get better at Sol, the easier this matchup becomes. Yasuo's that start Q are a free lane, just shove them in, Yasuo's that start E however, is an entirely different story. You have to give up priority for that time being and farm safely, otherwise you take bad trades and you don't really want that. During the rest of the lane. You will most likely be forced to stay mid because his ability to take towers are among the best in the game, and you REALLY cannot afford to give up mid tower so early. But what you can do is force a gank on him, he can get caught in the middle of trying to EQ you, just use your ult on him to slow him, wait for windwall to Q him, it blocks it. Should you be in the position to get ulted, you can ult him under tower after he lands from his ult. He outscales you every time, so make sure to stay away from him later on. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 2.
Zed - Hard Zed is (inherently in my opinion) a skill matchup. Early lane is easy, he can't do much to stop you from pushing, Level 3 you have to be careful, because he can poke you and then all in you after successful poke. Dodge the WQE's and you will be fine. Roam when he is shoved in and get your teammates ahead, post 6 it becomes more of a mountain, in fact, it's more of a post
Youmuus, this matchup becomes more difficult, if he presses R and Q E, you die. BUT, you can stop this, if you R as he lands from his, you can chain this into Q and run away for free. A good Zed will use his W before he ults to switch to his W shadow, rather than landing in his R position. A BETTER Zed will throw his W behind you before ulting to stop you from flashing towards your tower, run away from Zed entirely or flash in a different direction. This however rarely happens, if it does, just flash out. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOT USE R OTHER THAN THIS (in lane) otherwise, you will die to Zed. You are a MUCH better teamfighter than him, he does have a lot of dmg, but you should have done enough damage for him to not carry his team. 9 times out of 10 an inexperienced Sol will lose. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 2. (Due to his insane burst once he finishes duskblade he is a matchup to hate… That had to be ZED (read that as said))
Ziggs - Easy Ziggs is a really easy one because he can only damage you with skillshots, you are too fast for him, you have more burst early game, but he can waveclear really well with Q and E. He can also follow your roams really well with his ult. But in the 1v1 you win all times because of exhaust and a stun. You shouldn't step on his mines at all, otherwise he can kill you. Ziggs has large presence in teamfights and can blow up the backline if you aren't careful. Look to kill him when you can to avoid heavy damage to your team. Take Phase Rush +Inspiration 1. (Against him you can even take ghost a lot of the time. The only spell that is annoying from him is his W which deactivates your stars. That however is easy to dodge so you should be able to avoid the BOMBASTIC problem of losing your W)
Zoe - Medium Zoe is an interesting one, because you’d expect her RNG to play a factor in the early laning, in this case she doesn’t, since you’re always pushing, she can’t do much to stop it. As for her early game, it should be relatively easy to get successful roams off, but be careful of her gank setup. Post 6 it gets a lot harder, it becomes more difficult to hit her overall as her R dodges literally everything in your book. Her roams are also pretty good. If her RNG spoils her an active item such as Redemption you’ll want to avoid trying to fight her for the duration (as well as other summoners and actives), be careful of how you use YOUR summoners as well as she takes them. If you have lock down for her then she is really easy to kill with your combo. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Playing the game The Early Game: You’ve landed in Summoner’s Rift, and you’ve summoned Aurelion Sol. This is how you’re going to play the early game as him. Level 1 you buy Corrupting Potion and rush to mid lane. Position yourself so you are READY to push the wave, if you don’t do this, you lose mid lane priority and you shouldn’t have picked Sol if you want to AFK level 1. As soon as the 1st minions come in, auto attack the 1st 2 minions that come into the lane so you don’t need to waste more mana than you need to on the 1st shove. After this, you position yourself to the side and activate your W to push in the remaining minions. If the enemy decides to poke you, I tend to let them, because they’re losing minions as it is, wasting their abilities on me, and not the wave. As they are shoved in, look to ward the enemy raptors, this gives VITAL information for your team. As you know whether the jungler has done their raptors or not, if they started it then you know they’re on their buff OR are still doing the camp. Go back mid lane and shove in the second wave, you should ALWAYS hit level 2 first, look for free poke with the stun if you catch your laner out of position. Shove in the 3rd wave and look to go back. You should now have a Dark Seal and the enemy wave should come back to your tower, you may miss one minion, nevertheless, shove them in again and look for an early roam. If you see a potential gank, go for it. Always look to gank where your jungler is, as in this case it makes it so that if the enemy jungler or mid laner countergank, it is a 4v4 at worst case scenario. You won’t get punished because the enemy is still farming under their tower at this point. If your gank was unsuccessful or couldn’t find an opportunity to gank, then keep shoving your enemy/get vision at the worst case. You now should be looking to roam at every wave, see one? Go for it, the enemy will react quicker than last time though, but slow enough for you to make an impact. At Level 6 you unlock more catch potential. Roam with your jungler like last time and look to kill the enemy bot laner or top laner, or even a kill on your mid laner. If you can find the enemy jungler, depending on who it is, you can kill them with your ultimate up. Rinse and repeat until an objective (tower) has been taken.
The Mid Game: From here on out it is more macro based rather than micro, so I can’t really put this to my full knowledge of what you should do. When the 1st tower of the game has been taken, the enemy or your team, look to group mid to siege the opposite tower, this can cause poke wars and can spark a fight. Position yourself well in fights and use Rylais to catch people off guard and stun them. Use your ult to disengage if you need to or use it to force kills by slowing them. You should be using your large AOE presence to make people give up other objectives. Taking Dragons when you need them. Keep shoving waves back, make sure you have wards around as you don’t want to get caught. From here on out, look to catch people with Rylai's to make your life killing people 10 times easier.
If you were the one to take the 1st tower, and not any side lanes, look to roam towards either side lane (whichever looks unhealthier) and then take that tower. Make sure you are with your jungler doing this, otherwise if the enemy team reacts, it can be nasty for you.
The Late Game: For the late game (should you get here) you have more than enough damage to be a HUGE threat to the enemy team in teamfights. I tend to look for fights in the jungle primarily, because of your large AOE presence. The enemy might start focusing you as you are putting out large amounts of damage, normally for me they don’t notice that I’m killing them in two stars. Use your ult for heavy burst damage on their backline/pushing people away from you. Look for large stuns if you want to engage a fight, use at your own risk.

Combos, Tips/Tricks, FAQ and Acknowledgements. Combos you can do: https://youtu.be/vCiiC6dis3E Credit to KazoBurg on this one! Tips and Tricks: The SolSec is as it sounds, a Dragon flashing behind you to push someone back. I’ve only ever been in the situation to do it once. And my natural instincts told me to do it. But you basically press R in one direction, then flash behind them. (As seen in the video) When you are dueling with Sol, you sometimes need to contract the stars, while contracting they still do the same amount of damage as if they were expanded until fully contracted. Use this to your advantage When you select a destination with your E, press Q on that same location to start creating a large stun, this can be used to force objectives, fights and zoning. Don’t try and click on the map, the Q works where your cursor is pointed. Movespeed is more important than damage for Aurelion Sol, hence why I take so much move speed in my setup. More movespeed equates to MORE damage with the way his W works. Huhi explains it well in the “Pocket Pick” video.
FAQ Q: IS SOL JUNGLE VIABLE?!?!!!?!?!?!?! A: No. I get asked this way too often, but nevertheless, Sol Jungle WAS a thing. But since the nerf last season, it is no longer viable. Therefore he is really bad at clearing camps and can also get counter jungled really easily. You pick this with intent of working? You’re trolling. Q: IS SOL VIABLE?!?!?!?!?!? A: No. Again, you pick this with intent of it working, you’re trolling. The damage is high, yes, he can compete with the likes of Zyra/Brand, but enjoy getting poked by the ADC and Supp. You will die very often, aka you’re trolling. Q: Who can I watch to learn more? A: I advise always plan ahea. He is a high Challenger Sol main who plays him really well. When Quantum Fizzics (Sweaty ASol) starts streaming again, you can go to him aswell. Huhi is also brilliant on him. Q: Do you like the skin? A: I prefer to use the Classic, looks more clean compared to Ashen Lord. The skin itself is sick. Q: How can I follow you? A: You can follow my builds/playstyle on my op.gg, internet too bad for streaming: http://euw.op.gg/summoner/Name=Solgaleo http://euw.op.gg/summoner/Name=Jaghut+ice Q: Why should I follow what you say? You’re low Diamond!!! A: Tilt happens and it’s part of my playstyle, this guide was written when I was in my prime (number 1 EUW), so I can always refer to it when I’m very tilted/lacking in skill. Q: OMG MECHA ASOL HAVE U GOT?!?!?!!? A: Yes. It’s bad. Never use it. Q: IRELIA IS IN ALL MY GAMES AND I CAN’T BEAT HER!! TELL US HOW!! A: Dodge or Ban. There is literally nothing you can do vs that broken champion. For a short summary here rather than in the matchups section, she is literally more useful than you for the entire game, has more damage, and can stomp you in lane accordingly. Q: What about Ryalis 1st? Where is that? A: To put it short, I genuinely think this option is absolutely terrible. Although Quantum Fizzics does it, and some Koreans do it, the maths and the stats you get from Rylais 1st compared to RoA is a landslide, you surrender TWO runes for it to work. Which for me is a waste of a slot. Play it if you wish, just don’t be surprised if it doesn’t go well.

Why Aurelion Sol? The main reasons why I play Aurelion Sol are #1: Because he’s a space dragon. Say that again, he is a “space dragon”. I think that’s downright one of the most badass traits you can have. Aside from my bias of loving dragons and dinosaurs since I was a kid, Aurelion Sol is definitely one of the most eye appealing champions to look at. Going to reason #2: He is single handedly one of the most fun champions I have ever played in my time playing League of Legends. I got mastery level 5 in the 1st day of playing Aurelion Sol (more like in the span of the 1st 24 hours he was released. Yes that was also 25 wins or so), from this, you could tell I was dedicated to this champion. 1 year later he is my most played by a large margin. Finally, reason #3: I was inspired by my friends to keep playing him after they saw how good I was on him. After those 25 wins or so, I barely died, I got all the kills, and got a Pentakill. They saw potential in me, therefore they pushed me to use him in Dynamic Queue (I know, I know), I got Diamond in that season and here I am finishing in Diamond 1 in season 7.
Runes and Summoners With the Runes Reforged; there has been multiple added playstyles with the addition of them. I will show my personal favourite page, and the other possible keystones. Phase Rush + Inspiration 1 (My preferred):
Phase Rush + Inspiration 2 (Vs. Assassins):
Phase Rush + Resolve (Vs Assassins/Endgame):
Glacial Augment + Sorcery (Popular amongst Sol mains, not recommended):
The best Keystone to take on Aurelion Sol has to be Phase Rush. With the synergy it provides, it’s almost as if Stormraider’s was never removed. However it is a lot less powerful early game, you now have slow resistance still. But, it is much better later on in the game at a whopping 45% bonus movespeed. With that in mind, Aurelion Sol can proc Phase Rush off his stars alone, meaning it is very easy to activate this keystone. The second rune in the Sorcery Tree is a contest between 2, them being Nullifying Orb and Nimbus Cloak. Vs AP Matchups you want to take Nullifying Orb, as it is a free mini hexdrinker on a 60 second cooldown, it is most certainly nullifying your chances of dying to these mages. Nimbus Cloak you want to take vs other mid lane matchups such as Talon/Zed/Yasuo and more that can get inside your orbit in the later stages, it will be much more effective than null orb for you to be able to get away from the assassin in hand (even if they’re AP). The third rune in the Sorcery Tree is no contest, Celerity is what you want. The bonus movespeed you are missing from the old Runes are packed here, yes you are missing 0.5% but extra movespeed is converted to AP, which means your E movespeed and the next rune Waterwalking adds to this bonus. Waterwalking as mentioned above is the last rune you want to take, this is because it synergises so well with your playstyle as a whole. Gathering Storm is good, however Waterwalking gives you bonus AP and Move Speed in the river, which is insane for a roamer like Aurelion Sol. Inspiration 1: These two runes are my new preferred and for good reason; Minion dematerialiser gives you the priority in lane which you need (by using them on cannon minions), you also use one on a caster creep as well as a melee creep. This boosts your damage towards all three types of minion (except super minions) and help you shove quicker and easier. Time water tonic is exceedingly good in the early game as it bolsters your corrupting potion EVEN MORE than Dark Seal would. As a bonus, it even gives you move speed while you’re using it, making roams more efficient. Although the nerfs made it have a cooldown, it’s still very valued. Inspiration 2: I take this vs Assassins, it is almost compulsory to take the free stopwatch for obvious reasons. Then the Futures Market rune allows you to buy your early items quicker, and obtain later items just as quick. You are able to get the responsible resistance items (Cloth Armor, Null Magic Mantle) on the 1st back as well. If you are willing to risk Magical Footwear, I personally don’t, but it gives 10 extra Movespeed if you want it. Resolve: When you are wanting more HP, this is the tree to go, I have played with this one more than the inspiration tree vs Assassins and it does the job. The armour/magic resist you were missing in the runes before are in this tree, under Conditioning.
The last set of runes I will go on about is Glacial Augment, a lot of Aurelion Sol mains are taking this in synergy with GLP (Yes some still do this). The Auto attacks slow early game which is one of ASol’s key points in the game, but in my opinion, it is not needed.
Summoner spells
That list is primarily one I follow. Ignite is my go to summoner for 90% of matches, Ghost if I need to kite more often in fights/if I need the extra damage, Cleanse vs Elise and a follow up, and then Exhaust vs Champs that require damage nullification. (i.e. Zed) Barrier and Heal are options, but I rarely take them since I learnt to Exhaust, I find that 100 times better for my playstyle. Take them if you wish, but I’m not a fan of them anymore. Teleport should NOT be used, simply because you will only manage to use it once. And should NEVER be the 2nd to react to any fight.
Skill Order
I look to max W 1st but at level 8, instead of pointing Q, I put an extra point in E. This is because the E range from lvl 1 doubles at lvl 2, so it's nice to get that extra range. Putting a point in R when you can and maxing Q after putting a 2nd point in E.
General Build Sol’s build is normally the same throughout all matchups, with minor changes in between each champion. To start, every game you play requires a Corrupting Potion. This is because you can spam these in lane when pushing, replenishing your mana to push more and heal yourself. This is then followed up by a Dark Seal at your 1st back to bolster your Corruption Potion stats. After Dark Seal, get Tier 1 Boots. Next up is your RoA, and in every matchup, you go for the Catalyst portion, as the ive/stats are much better than the Blasting Wand. You should ALWAYS look to finish your RoA ASAP. Tier 2 boots before the second item, which is Rylais. After it, the next item should be either Morellonomicon vs squishy team comps, then vs tanky team comps you want Liandry’s.. The fourth item should be a Rabadon’s. As you can really start being a threat once you finish the hat, it makes up for the missing AP you don’t get as a standard mage. If needed, a Void Staff can be built before it. Finish up your build with what you see fit towards the team comps!
Matchups In this section I rate each viable mid lane champion (nothing like Lucian mid) from Easy - Hard, then give an explanation of how to play vs them in lane, whether you can/should roam and how to play teamfights around the champion. (Take note that they are my opinions) (Everything in Magenta is written by another Sol main)
Ahri - Medium Ahri is not a threat to you at all pre-6, so you just shove her in and look for roams as early as possible, however, she IS a threat post 6 because of her ult. It gets harder to play vs her as an inexperienced Sol as she can get inside of your orbit with ease, dodge her Charm and you will kill her, get hit by it you will die most likely. Once you have MR it shouldn't be too hard as you outscale her at every point. Pick her off in fights as she tries to assassinate your carries, exhaust her as she charms someone or starts ulting. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Akali - Medium Akali, reworked and remade into an assassin that is heavily punishing, should you make the incorrect decisions. Pre-6 you’re just fine, she can’t do much, throwing a Q is all she’s got for the first few minutes of the game (but be careful of E), you can really exploit this buy beating her down with your W, Q and Autos. Then comes level 6, you want to stay FAR away from her (where appropriate) to stop yourself from getting all inned. If you’re unsure where she is in the shroud, she may as well be on top of you, be careful, she is a threat post lane phase, keep your toes on the ground for this matchup! Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 2.
Anivia - Medium Anivia is personally one of my most hated matchups, a good Anivia can REALLY rough up your day, her gank set up and damage output is INSANE.. post 6. Before 6, you want to shove her in as frequently as possible and roam as much as you can, she CANNOT follow you without TP. At 6 she just matches your shove and gives you a run for your money with how much damage she can pump out. Focus her in teamfights as she is a HUGE teamfight threat over 1 area, and you should be fine. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Annie - Medium
I've seen many struggle vs Annie but i've gotten used to it. You should just shove and roam as much as you can, if you see her walk up to you with her stun; it is most likely you are getting ganked. If she steps up without it (less than 3 stacks), you can go for a trade and Q her with 2 W procs. You burst faster than her at all points in the game should you dodge the stun, exhaust her if you feel necessary vs her because she does still do a lot of dmg. She is a menace in teamfights with Tibbers, this AOE can be annoying, but once she’s used it, you can kill her easily.Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (She bursts faster imo but has a way shorter range than your burst which is the reason she is a Medium not a hard matchup, also in endgame you usually survive her burst)
Azir - Easy Through my time of playing vs Azir, it's been awkward, because some know what they're doing in lane and can poke you down and outtrade you, however, he cannot kill you if you play it right, as much of fancy Shurima Shuffle's he can do, you simply have more burst In your kit for him. He will outscale you in fights, but is SUPER vulnerable to a combo from you. Try and roam as much as you can. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (Azir is sometimes an annoying matchup because I can't seem to kill him due to his mobility and he has brutal gank setup. Due to this I personally would even put him Medium or vs a good Azir even Hard)
Brand - Easy I haven't played vs much Brand's but all 4 times I have I've managed to stop him from doing anything, he does have reliable waveclear but by the time he's killed the minions, you've killed their bot lane. So make sure to roam whenever you can, aswell as stay in minions if you plan to fight him as the E Q can catch you out, so stay in minions. You outscale him heavily in the later game, although he has a LARGE teamfight presence. Be careful of that and full combo if you need to. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (Brand’s 6 Item spike is on fire and better than sols 6 item spike so he is a LIT Hyper Endgame champ. Other than that he is pretty much strong early (Level 6) in fights where he loses a lot of momentum later and then get’s his strength back with 6 items compared to other champs in his class)
Cassiopeia - Medium Against Cassiopeia, when you walk forward to push, she looks to E you. You will get outtraded because it's guaranteed damage (unless you are experienced with Sol and you hit your stars, go ahead and try), just try and shove and roam vs her, when it comes to fighting her, you want to move as much as possible to dodge Q procs, you can damage her without facing her, this is the best way to deal with her, OR, you can predict her R, you can Q her as she ults you and it
will be a similar stun length, you are naturally tankier with Catalyst, so you can kill her with your R aswell. She likes to use a lot of mana, work your trades around that. Cassiopeia's later game is weaker than earlier points in the game, even if she has 6 items, you can burst her before she can press E, just full combo if she's fed and she dies. You have a much stronger teamfight presence. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (I would add that if you know you are going to get hit by her Q just instantly run for your life as if she procs her Phase Rush she will be able to chase you down and out damage you at the same time so prevent her getting Phase Rush if you know she will be able to proc it)
Corki - Medium Corki is a hard matchup for me, I’m not 100% sure on how to deal with him. He likes to keep you in lane, but you shouldn’t have a problem laning against him as he can miss his Q most of the time. You can’t roam much as he just contests the shove easily, maybe not early on, but definitely around level 4. He likes to act as an ADC in teamfights, so just blow him up when you see the chance. Can be tricky if he buys Maw however. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (Corki doesn't even remotely outscale sol as he is only good early and ok mid. His endgame is only ok with good consistent damage and ok burst compared to sol who even hasn't the best endgame. Also you have tons of kill pressure if you proc Phase Rush and he pushed you in as you can run his w distance with ease. His roaming also sucks vs sol as a good sol pushes out always and as soon as you hear that siren you just go to the lane he is most likely going to visit. Once he commits there it’s his death sentence as you are there with way more consistent damage and general damage. In lane he doesn’t even remotely compare to sol’s push. His W sucks for pushing, his e isn’t great either and his Q is ok at best)
Diana - Medium I haven't played vs much Diana either, but I have managed to beat all of them, she is really easy to poke out pre 6, and she doesn't have reliable waveclear that early on, therefore you can look for roams. Post 6 is an issue, she can get inside your stars and cancel them aswell. As she ults and E's, ult her away and chain with Q and exhaust if needed. She has a lot of surprising burst. You are a better teamfighter, but she can delete your ADC. So peel for them by stunning her and exhausting aswell. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration. (She is pretty much the same as Akali just easier and with less jumps so you shouldn’t Diana)
Ekko - Hard Ekko is considered hard because of his overall kit. He is quite formidable because his Q slows you, then he blinks forward with his E, followed by his move speed bonus which allows him to get away with a free trade. Trades with him become difficult because of his ive more than
any other of his abilities. If he is at critical health he can just R, BUT WATCH HIS TRAIL, he will look to use it to all in you again... He can dodge all your abilities with his R. At level 9 he can start Qing a wave and it dies in a single cast, so use the time before this to shove him in and roam. He can counter your ganks with a well timed TP (he normally takes this) so be prepared for him to react to you top or bot. His main goal will be to split push, so look for teamfights where he can't and you should be fine. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 2.
Fizz - Hard With Fizz, it is very important you shove him in and watch his levels, he gets powerspikes very often and can kill you if you don't work around the waves. He won't all in you if you're in a stack of minions. If he hits 6, he can kill you with ease, even under tower if you're not careful. Exhaust is CRUCIAL to use as he lands the fish, as his burst is massively cut. You can then ult him back (assuming he already E'd on you) to stop him from killing you further. He can waveclear once he has some points in E. So he can then follow you after that. His counter ganks are strong with R, and not so strong without, focus him in teamfights if you don't want him to assassinate everyone. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 2. ( Fizz is very fishy in the sense that you can’t use all your spells early to block a bit of damage but rather you have to take that damage and then use your disengage because else he will just kill you by jumping over ult)
Galio - Easy I've played vs Galio a few times when he became a mid pick, it was no challenge beating him as he was so susceptible to poke and damage from me, however, his set up for ganks are really good. You can prevent this by staying further back and/or dodging his E, do so and you will be fine. He can also follow your roams really well, as he has nice waveclear. His teamfights are more oriented towards tanking damage for his team, you don’t need to focus him in later fights, but rather watch out for his CC. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Gangplank - Easy Gangplank doesn't offer much damage at all early on, maybe he will Q you twice or so, BUT he will not be able to outtrade you at any point of the early game, shove him in as he has no reliable waveclear (barrels do no damage early) so shove in and look for roams, you have minimal kill pressure in lane because of his oranges, so ask for a gank to chain cc him. He can follow up your roam with an R himself however. He also outscales you immensely, doing more damage overall than you in a teamfight (should he land barrels). Try and exhaust him if he comes into range and kill him. Take Phase Rush +Inspiration 1.
Heimerdinger - Easy As Heimerdinger sets up his turrets, you can start taking them out, he cannot keep them up and you can shove him in really well early game. He can set up a gank with Ult E so be careful of that. He also cannot follow your roams at all. In teamfights he is nothing more than a nuisance when behind. Take Phase Rush +Inspiration 1.
Jayce - Hard Jayce is a rather annoying matchup. He can and WILL outtrade you at all points in the lane, his obnoxious ranged poke and melee all in make him a task for Sol. However, Jayce cannot contest the shove early on. So you can freely push him in, but as the waves meet in the middle, he can all in you when you activate W (if he doesn't he is a bad Jayce and he will lose the trade), and you will 9 times out of 10 lose the trade. His teamfighting is decent compared to most champions, he can EQ from afar and poke your team, you can out damage him in a teamfight, but don't be surprised if he wipes out one or 2 if he is already ahead.Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 2.
Karthus - Easy Karthus will always try and hit you out of minions for extra damage, you're too fast for him, so you get free shoves every time, he can only reliably follow up a gank with his R, but even then, the damage is done. Once he missteps in lane you can punish and kill him easily. In teamfights, look out for his positioning, if its close to your team, ult him away to minimise his ive's use. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (An amazing Karthus can outdamage you early though so try and always dodge his Q or else you might be BONED ← Please add that joke to your guide xD)
Kassadin - HARD Kassadin is theoretically Sol's hardest matchup. 2 abilities in his kit directly counter Sol, them being the Q (which stops channels, and your ive is a channel) and the R, which is in essence a gapcloser/dash to get inside your orbit. As Sol, you want to make sure he is nowhere near you when pushing early, or catching you out (he can kill you). If you are brave enough to pick Sol into him, or have been picked into, this is how you beat him: Walk in the middle of the minion wave WITHOUT YOUR W ON (not only does this waste your mana since he can stop you, but he will also be inclined to Q you anyway.) in this case you will not be punished as such for turning your W on, AFTER he Q's you, turn your W on and push the wave, if he doesn't Q
you, then that's ok, because your ive will push for you. When you shove in the 3 waves, you want go back and look for roams, YOU DO NOT WANT TO LANE VS HIM. Shove in coming waves and instantly look for roams, help your jungler invade, get someone ahead. This way you aren't the only issue for their team, and you can beat Kassadin using your own team. However should he engage on you in lane, R him away and stun him, he can stick onto you very easily. Kassadin also outscales you HEAVILY. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (Endgame he can’t one shot you anymore and he takes a lot longer to kill you and getting rid of him is not all too hard as your burst combo triggers your Phase Rush. Laning pre 6 vs him is pretty easy even as long as you keep that trick in mind so I wouldn’t say that you don’t want to lane vs him after 3 waves.)
Karma - Medium I’ve only ever played vs Karma once in my time playing Sol, nevertheless, you will sometimes lane vs her. She can Mantra Q the wave level 1, and try to contest the shove, but she can’t because you shove way too fast. Also, if she decides to Mantra Q you, then you get the free shove. Trading with her is somewhat hard due to her shields and snare, as she can easily get inside your orbit, it’s a nightmare for newer Sol players, an experienced one should have no issues in lane with her. Look to roam as well, since she can’t follow relatively well without TP. Come teamfights, she will have MUCH more presence in them, as she can shield the entire team. You have to either kill her or the carries before shields are applied. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Katarina - Hard Katarina is borderline medium/hard for me because I'm so used to playing vs her. She cannot contest your early game push, but come level 3, she can kill you very easily, STAY AWAY FROM HER DAGGERS. When she hits level 6 she will want to all in you again, you can either R where she lands to stop her ult, or simply Q her to stop her. You can roam relatively easily, just be careful since she can follow you well. Exhaust her when you feel necessary, don't hold onto it. She can do a LOT of dmg in short amounts of time, you outscale in fights. However she can assassinate you, so be careful of that. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (Also if she engages you near a turret with a Q -> jump on you ult her into turret BEFORE she catches her W on you. That way she loses that w damage and can’t jump out of turret range anymore. The timing is very tight but when done correctly the reward is usually a summoner or a kill)
Kayle - Easy I've played vs Kayle once. And she almost won the game because she HEAVILY outscales you. But nevertheless, she is weaker than you in lane, therefore you can punish her and roam, she
can't follow you at all. Watch out for her R at 6 though, save stun for that duration of her R and you will kill her. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
LeBlanc - Medium LeBlanc has been reverted. And boy, It brings nightmares back to me, she’s a HUGE threat in lane as she can answer you in every trade possible. There is however, one thing that stops her from completely dominating the game, and that is her waveclear, she doesn’t have it anymore as they’ve forced it back onto her W, her main damage tool. Do not underestimate her as she can do a lot of burst damage. Until you get RoA, you should be tanky enough to not get oneshot by her, judging that you never gave her kills. Due to her waveclearing being sub par, you can take the opportunity to shove and roam if she wastes W. Look out for her later game, she’s one of the best champions for pick potential! Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Lissandra - Easy Lissandra can bully you in lane, but you should bully her more as you shove faster, she can't follow you when you roam. In teamfights she becomes a MONSTER, she has enough damage in her kit to chunk/kill your backline, exhaust timing is CRITICAL if you want to survive Lissandra's teamfight potential. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (Also try and always stay away from her in teamfights while you are near the frontline as her ulting you may destroy you)
Lux - Easy Lux should not kill you at ANY point in this lane. If you position yourself to the side and start shoving, she either has to E the minions or try and E you, and if she E's you, you've already won the lane. You also should never get tagged by Q, as you are too fast for her. As well as if she wastes her Q on the minion wave, or simply misses it, it should allow you to pretty much run her down. However later on, she can catch you off-guard and one-shot you, if you have built no MR. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Malzahar - Medium If Malz is good, he will start E and contest the shove. If he is bad, he will Q you and waste mana on getting shoved in anyway, you can poke him and remove his shield more or less all the time. His ult is lethal if you are getting ganked, because this means certain death. If you sense you are getting ganked, back up and farm under tower. Roam as much as you can so you get your team ahead early on. In teamfights, Malzahar looks to lock down 1 person, and you have 2 ways of stopping him, do so and he will be useless in the rest of the fight. Take Phase Rush +
Inspiration 1. (Post 6 don’t get too close to malzahar while his minions are near you. Ult is pretty much only lethal for Sol if the minions are not spawned right before he ults you)
Orianna - MEDIUM Orianna is a really obnoxious champion, as she has waveclear, damage and good roam potential with ghost. The matchup theoretically is a 60/40 in favour of Sol, once you get tankier with ROA and a null magic, this makes it so that even if she hits her ult you will just punish her later on for using it on you. The first 13 minutes or so are completely in your favour, giving you every chance to roam. Eventually when she finishes Ludens she will look to outrade you, however you too long ranged for her even with her ball, throw a Q and you’ll force her to walk away. WATCH HER BALL AT ALL TIMES OF THE GAME. It's KEY to know when she has pressed Q or not so you can go in for a trade or not. One of the easiest ways as Orianna is to R flash Sol, but she can't do this if you flash aswell. Orianna has REALLY strong teamfight presence with her R, try not to get caught by it and you will win the teamfight if she misses this. A good Orianna can make your life hell, a bad one you just win. Almost too easy to outplay if you pay attention to where her ball is. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (Her waveclear is not all too great. It’s good but not good enough to counter Sol. Also her nerfed Q and E make it even easier)
Ryze - Easy The annoying thing about Ryze is that he has great gank set up. He can be really obnoxious to trade with because of his ive shield and can run away with Phase Rush, should you stun him, as of now, you should win the trade. He can follow your roams as he has decent waveclear and can follow with ult, but you are the MUCH better teamfighter because you have more AoE. (Seraphs monkaS). Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Swain - Medium Swain’s rework took him to new heights, and new lows. Sol can exploit one of them, and that is lack of instant wave clear, his new Q, W and E are what it takes to remove a wave. Swain can catch you with his E though, so be careful of that, it’s fairly slow moving and can only root you from the behind. His Ult turns the tides in teamfights, so you must be careful of that, exhaust and stun him where appropriate to stop him from getting close to you or your teammates, he’s normally played Top from what I see but in the event he’s mid, dodge E, shove, roam. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Syndra - MEDIUM Syndra is a skillshot based champion, and your movespeed as a whole makes it hard for her to hit you, a good Syndra will stun you as you press W to push/not waste the E on the wave, a good Sol will dodge clockwise/anticlockwise, making her skillshots miss while still damaging her with stars, her strongest part is her combo, which is why you need to dodge the majority of the Q's and W's, exhaust her as she presses R, if you don't do this, you most likely die. You are able to trade with a Syndra so long as you get MR, otherwise you are punished more heavily if you are hit by her skills. She has HUGE teamfight potential with the ability to eliminate an ADC or you. You have to be prepared to exhaust or kill her during a fight, a good combo can delete her just as well. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.(Also her E alone can get very annoying as it pushes you back slightly if you are in your W range which deactivates your stars so don’t expect to kill one if her e is not already on cd)
Taliyah - Easy This is an interesting matchup, both of you have the same goal. Shove in and roam to sidelanes to get them ahead. Therefore there is a stalemate in the priority. You shove faster at level 1, and post then, you are equal. If you see her off on the side, you can follow her, but she can also follow you. If she wants to fight, 9 times out of 10 you win the matchup 1v1 because you are faster, you have more burst, and you can exhaust her. By the time teamfights come, just kill her everytime she mispostions. She still does a lot of damage, so be careful of that. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (Also her Level 1 damage can kill sol if you are very reckless in mage matchups early so be careful of that. Also noting what summoners she took can help. If she has Ignite then she will probably want to kill you Level 1 or Level 3)
Talon - Hard Talon is able to get mid priority on you, which you want, make sure you're ready to start shoving in ASAP. When you shove him in the 2nd time round, he will hit level 2 and most likely look to WQ or QW you, take this trade and he will regret it when you Q him after, at 6, he will look to all in you, if you suspect he will Q R, just ult him and chain with stun, he CAN kill you. Talon is just as good a roamer as you, he can eventually match your shove and follow you to wherever you lead off to, as with most other assassins, his teamfight is lacking, you are better than him in teamfights should you not get caught by him. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 2.
Twisted Fate - Easy TF can be annoying in lane with his stun card, this leads to ganks, however, you can also trade back with your own stun and a few W procs. He can waveclear once he levels up more. Therefore you can roam early on and not get punished for it. Post 6, you can be followed, BUT, you can throw a stun to where he is landing (should he land visible to you) and normally he dies from this. Peel your backline in fights vs TF as he can almost oneshot your ADC. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Veigar - Medium I've gotten used to playing vs Veigar so I find it easy. But again, a new Sol player will struggle. When he wants to win a trade, he will put his cage down, and a bad Sol will lose the trade/get stunned and combo'd. Move around in his E, then you cannot get stunned/hurt by his abilities. When he tries to ult you, exhaust him as you see the projectile, because you won't die in this case, and kill him. In teamfights, you NEED to catch him out otherwise your team will all die to him alone. Exhaust when you can and full combo him. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Vel'Koz - Easy Vel'Koz is rather easy, but can be annoying. When he uses E to clear minions you can run at him with stun and outtrade him. Be careful at post 6 because he can burst you down and kill you with his R. You can still stop it using Q or R, but you should exhaust and run. He has reliable waveclear (but a long CD) so you can roam, but expect him to follow. He does HUGE damage in teamfights, but is really immobile, so if you catch him, he is dead. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Viktor - Medium I have beaten Viktors, and I have lost to Viktors. He can match your shove once he completes his 1st upgrade, but you should be bullying him way before this, starve his CS count by shoving him in and roaming, once he completes his item, he can 1v1 you with ease. His R cancels your stars, his Q gives him movespeed and he can also slow you. So be careful of him, and exhaust with full combo, and he should die. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Vladimir - Easy Vlad has really short range for a mage, but he has a lot of sustain so he can stay in lane for ages, but he cannot waveclear well early on. He is also very safe so don't try to kill him without secure confidence, roam as much as possible and get your team to help you with him. Executioners is key vs him as a team, so ask your ADC to buy one. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Xerath - Easy Xerath is in my opinion Sol's easiest lane. He is immobile, his only safety in his kit is a skillshot, and you win the extended trades. You are too fast for him so you dodge the stun and stun him instead and win the trade. Roam to ruin his teams day, he can only ult from afar, so he can't reliably follow you. In teamfights, you want to focus him, as he can kill your backline by poking them constantly, you can kill him easily because he is so immobile. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1. (His e has ok speed so if he positions like he should further away from you, you have to run straight at him which makes landing it not too hard for a good Xerath. You have to dodge it or else it is a big block though and if it hits you don’t expect to get anything vs him)
Yasuo - Hard Yasuo is a funny one. He is hard to deal with as a new Sol, but as you get better at Sol, the easier this matchup becomes. Yasuo's that start Q are a free lane, just shove them in, Yasuo's that start E however, is an entirely different story. You have to give up priority for that time being and farm safely, otherwise you take bad trades and you don't really want that. During the rest of the lane. You will most likely be forced to stay mid because his ability to take towers are among the best in the game, and you REALLY cannot afford to give up mid tower so early. But what you can do is force a gank on him, he can get caught in the middle of trying to EQ you, just use your ult on him to slow him, wait for windwall to Q him, it blocks it. Should you be in the position to get ulted, you can ult him under tower after he lands from his ult. He outscales you every time, so make sure to stay away from him later on. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 2.
Zed - Hard Zed is (inherently in my opinion) a skill matchup. Early lane is easy, he can't do much to stop you from pushing, Level 3 you have to be careful, because he can poke you and then all in you after successful poke. Dodge the WQE's and you will be fine. Roam when he is shoved in and get your teammates ahead, post 6 it becomes more of a mountain, in fact, it's more of a post
Youmuus, this matchup becomes more difficult, if he presses R and Q E, you die. BUT, you can stop this, if you R as he lands from his, you can chain this into Q and run away for free. A good Zed will use his W before he ults to switch to his W shadow, rather than landing in his R position. A BETTER Zed will throw his W behind you before ulting to stop you from flashing towards your tower, run away from Zed entirely or flash in a different direction. This however rarely happens, if it does, just flash out. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOT USE R OTHER THAN THIS (in lane) otherwise, you will die to Zed. You are a MUCH better teamfighter than him, he does have a lot of dmg, but you should have done enough damage for him to not carry his team. 9 times out of 10 an inexperienced Sol will lose. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 2. (Due to his insane burst once he finishes duskblade he is a matchup to hate… That had to be ZED (read that as said))
Ziggs - Easy Ziggs is a really easy one because he can only damage you with skillshots, you are too fast for him, you have more burst early game, but he can waveclear really well with Q and E. He can also follow your roams really well with his ult. But in the 1v1 you win all times because of exhaust and a stun. You shouldn't step on his mines at all, otherwise he can kill you. Ziggs has large presence in teamfights and can blow up the backline if you aren't careful. Look to kill him when you can to avoid heavy damage to your team. Take Phase Rush +Inspiration 1. (Against him you can even take ghost a lot of the time. The only spell that is annoying from him is his W which deactivates your stars. That however is easy to dodge so you should be able to avoid the BOMBASTIC problem of losing your W)
Zoe - Medium Zoe is an interesting one, because you’d expect her RNG to play a factor in the early laning, in this case she doesn’t, since you’re always pushing, she can’t do much to stop it. As for her early game, it should be relatively easy to get successful roams off, but be careful of her gank setup. Post 6 it gets a lot harder, it becomes more difficult to hit her overall as her R dodges literally everything in your book. Her roams are also pretty good. If her RNG spoils her an active item such as Redemption you’ll want to avoid trying to fight her for the duration (as well as other summoners and actives), be careful of how you use YOUR summoners as well as she takes them. If you have lock down for her then she is really easy to kill with your combo. Take Phase Rush + Inspiration 1.
Playing the game The Early Game: You’ve landed in Summoner’s Rift, and you’ve summoned Aurelion Sol. This is how you’re going to play the early game as him. Level 1 you buy Corrupting Potion and rush to mid lane. Position yourself so you are READY to push the wave, if you don’t do this, you lose mid lane priority and you shouldn’t have picked Sol if you want to AFK level 1. As soon as the 1st minions come in, auto attack the 1st 2 minions that come into the lane so you don’t need to waste more mana than you need to on the 1st shove. After this, you position yourself to the side and activate your W to push in the remaining minions. If the enemy decides to poke you, I tend to let them, because they’re losing minions as it is, wasting their abilities on me, and not the wave. As they are shoved in, look to ward the enemy raptors, this gives VITAL information for your team. As you know whether the jungler has done their raptors or not, if they started it then you know they’re on their buff OR are still doing the camp. Go back mid lane and shove in the second wave, you should ALWAYS hit level 2 first, look for free poke with the stun if you catch your laner out of position. Shove in the 3rd wave and look to go back. You should now have a Dark Seal and the enemy wave should come back to your tower, you may miss one minion, nevertheless, shove them in again and look for an early roam. If you see a potential gank, go for it. Always look to gank where your jungler is, as in this case it makes it so that if the enemy jungler or mid laner countergank, it is a 4v4 at worst case scenario. You won’t get punished because the enemy is still farming under their tower at this point. If your gank was unsuccessful or couldn’t find an opportunity to gank, then keep shoving your enemy/get vision at the worst case. You now should be looking to roam at every wave, see one? Go for it, the enemy will react quicker than last time though, but slow enough for you to make an impact. At Level 6 you unlock more catch potential. Roam with your jungler like last time and look to kill the enemy bot laner or top laner, or even a kill on your mid laner. If you can find the enemy jungler, depending on who it is, you can kill them with your ultimate up. Rinse and repeat until an objective (tower) has been taken.
The Mid Game: From here on out it is more macro based rather than micro, so I can’t really put this to my full knowledge of what you should do. When the 1st tower of the game has been taken, the enemy or your team, look to group mid to siege the opposite tower, this can cause poke wars and can spark a fight. Position yourself well in fights and use Rylais to catch people off guard and stun them. Use your ult to disengage if you need to or use it to force kills by slowing them. You should be using your large AOE presence to make people give up other objectives. Taking Dragons when you need them. Keep shoving waves back, make sure you have wards around as you don’t want to get caught. From here on out, look to catch people with Rylai's to make your life killing people 10 times easier.
If you were the one to take the 1st tower, and not any side lanes, look to roam towards either side lane (whichever looks unhealthier) and then take that tower. Make sure you are with your jungler doing this, otherwise if the enemy team reacts, it can be nasty for you.
The Late Game: For the late game (should you get here) you have more than enough damage to be a HUGE threat to the enemy team in teamfights. I tend to look for fights in the jungle primarily, because of your large AOE presence. The enemy might start focusing you as you are putting out large amounts of damage, normally for me they don’t notice that I’m killing them in two stars. Use your ult for heavy burst damage on their backline/pushing people away from you. Look for large stuns if you want to engage a fight, use at your own risk.

Combos, Tips/Tricks, FAQ and Acknowledgements. Combos you can do: https://youtu.be/vCiiC6dis3E Credit to KazoBurg on this one! Tips and Tricks: The SolSec is as it sounds, a Dragon flashing behind you to push someone back. I’ve only ever been in the situation to do it once. And my natural instincts told me to do it. But you basically press R in one direction, then flash behind them. (As seen in the video) When you are dueling with Sol, you sometimes need to contract the stars, while contracting they still do the same amount of damage as if they were expanded until fully contracted. Use this to your advantage When you select a destination with your E, press Q on that same location to start creating a large stun, this can be used to force objectives, fights and zoning. Don’t try and click on the map, the Q works where your cursor is pointed. Movespeed is more important than damage for Aurelion Sol, hence why I take so much move speed in my setup. More movespeed equates to MORE damage with the way his W works. Huhi explains it well in the “Pocket Pick” video.
FAQ Q: IS SOL JUNGLE VIABLE?!?!!!?!?!?!?! A: No. I get asked this way too often, but nevertheless, Sol Jungle WAS a thing. But since the nerf last season, it is no longer viable. Therefore he is really bad at clearing camps and can also get counter jungled really easily. You pick this with intent of working? You’re trolling. Q: IS SOL VIABLE?!?!?!?!?!? A: No. Again, you pick this with intent of it working, you’re trolling. The damage is high, yes, he can compete with the likes of Zyra/Brand, but enjoy getting poked by the ADC and Supp. You will die very often, aka you’re trolling. Q: Who can I watch to learn more? A: I advise always plan ahea. He is a high Challenger Sol main who plays him really well. When Quantum Fizzics (Sweaty ASol) starts streaming again, you can go to him aswell. Huhi is also brilliant on him. Q: Do you like the skin? A: I prefer to use the Classic, looks more clean compared to Ashen Lord. The skin itself is sick. Q: How can I follow you? A: You can follow my builds/playstyle on my op.gg, internet too bad for streaming: http://euw.op.gg/summoner/Name=Solgaleo http://euw.op.gg/summoner/Name=Jaghut+ice Q: Why should I follow what you say? You’re low Diamond!!! A: Tilt happens and it’s part of my playstyle, this guide was written when I was in my prime (number 1 EUW), so I can always refer to it when I’m very tilted/lacking in skill. Q: OMG MECHA ASOL HAVE U GOT?!?!?!!? A: Yes. It’s bad. Never use it. Q: IRELIA IS IN ALL MY GAMES AND I CAN’T BEAT HER!! TELL US HOW!! A: Dodge or Ban. There is literally nothing you can do vs that broken champion. For a short summary here rather than in the matchups section, she is literally more useful than you for the entire game, has more damage, and can stomp you in lane accordingly. Q: What about Ryalis 1st? Where is that? A: To put it short, I genuinely think this option is absolutely terrible. Although Quantum Fizzics does it, and some Koreans do it, the maths and the stats you get from Rylais 1st compared to RoA is a landslide, you surrender TWO runes for it to work. Which for me is a waste of a slot. Play it if you wish, just don’t be surprised if it doesn’t go well.
