Gameplay notes

Micro decisions

  • Decide between fast push or freeze depending on enemy roam threat.
  • Place E before Q to secure the channel.
  • Use R defensively for peel rather than engage.
  • Adjust positioning to avoid interruptions.

  • Channeling Q without vision.
  • Using R offensively without support.

2 Items Spike

Rylai’s + Luden’s: optimal control and damage for fights.

Late Game

Stardust scaling turning his zones into constant threats.

Game Plan

Early

Waveclear safe, lateral wards, deny the opponent's 6 while remaining out of range.

Mid

Two-item spike: force 4v4 objectives where E+R are the law.

Late

Protect your carries, give priority to peeling with R rather than deep engages.

Power Spikes

Levels 5, 9, and 13

R access to discourage engages and secure roams.

How to Play

  • Cycle push→roam thanks to W: every priority mid can become a threat on the sides.
  • Create angles: place E first, then channel Q while staying within safe range.

Playing Against

  • Take MR early (Mercury's, Null-Magic) and Quicksilver to get out of E; R knock-ups don't clean up.
  • Cut his roams: pings after each push and deep wards on W trajectories.

§ 07b — Advanced MechanicsAurelion Sol: combos & tips Wild Rift

Roam/gank combo
1 E E
2 Q Q

Pass through walls with E and cast Q whilst in flight so that Starsurge grows in size based on the distance travelled. The greater the distance, the larger the stun area.

Burst combo
1 Q Q
2 R R
3 W W

Stun with Q, knockback with R, then activate Orbital Stars for DPS.

Flash engage combo
1 Flash Flash
2 R R
3 Q Q
4 W W

Surprise Flash into the fray, knockback with R to direct enemies towards your team, then full burst. Difficult to pull off but very effective.

Teamfight combo
1 Q Q
2 R R
3 Q Q

Initial stun, knockback, second stun amidst the chaos of the melee.

Mechanical Tips

  • Starsurge (Q) scaling: the further Aurelion Sol travels during the Q’s flight, the larger the stun area becomes — use Comet of Legend (E) to maximise the range.
  • Celestial Expansion (W) — star rotation: move in a circle to maximise the hit rate of the orbiting stars.
  • Watch out for bushes: the orbiting stars are visible even in bushes — enemies will know Aurelion Sol is hiding as soon as they see the stars.
  • Max priority: max Q first, then W, E last. Roam from level 3 onwards using E.
  • E cooldown: Comet of Legend has a long cooldown — don’t waste it on simple routine movements.

Common Mistakes

  • Use E solely for movement without combining it with Q — you’ll lose the range scaling.
  • Predictable roaming patterns — vary your routes to catch enemies off guard.
  • Dive into the fight without Stasis when executing the advanced Flash → R combo.

Notable Interactions

  • Q can be cast through walls — use it for surprise engagements from the jungle.
  • Voice of Light (R) knocks enemies back towards Aurelion Sol — position yourself well to push them towards your team.
  • When W is deactivated, the range of the stars is reduced — always activate it during combat.
