How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his growing Q

His Q gets bigger and stuns longer the farther it flies, so don't stand in its lane — sidestep it early.

Punish Q on cooldown

His Q has a long (~11s) cooldown — while it's down he's a lot weaker, so land your poison and trade then.

Kite with the stars

Kite inside or outside his orbit and in the same direction the stars travel to eat less star damage.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never trade without landing your poison — even a Q-on-cooldown Aurelion Sol can still fight you if you don't.
