Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Aurelion Sol's superior range, wave clear, and constant passive damage that makes trading unfavorable.
- Post-6 you become heavily favored as your R allows you to bypass his defensive positioning and burst him down before he can escape with W.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern involves using W-E-Q combo when Aurelion Sol steps up to clear minions with E, then immediately returning to your shadow to avoid extended trades with his passive stars.
- Save your full combo for post-6 all-ins rather than frequent poke trades.
Wave Control
- Allow Aurelion Sol to push early levels while farming safely with Q, then look to freeze waves near your tower post-6 to create longer lanes for all-ins.
- Avoid letting him roam freely by matching his shoves when possible, but prioritize staying healthy for kill opportunities.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W aggressively for poke trades as you need it for your kill combo, and avoid fighting in his passive star range without a clear escape plan.
- Never chase him into unwarded areas where he can use W to escape over walls after baiting your engage.
