Max Skill 1 first as your source of continuous damage, then level Skill 3 for its wide-area damage.
Aurelion Sol Strengths
✓Stardust stacks keep scaling his skills the longer the game goes
✓Skill 2's flight lets him breathe starfire while crossing walls
✓Plenty of AoE CC with Skill 3's black hole and Ult's stun (knock-up when empowered)
Aurelion Sol Weaknesses
×Low damage early until Stardust stacks build up
×Skill 1 is a channel; CC interrupts cut his damage
×Skill 2 is his only mobility, leaving him exposed after the flight
Aurelion Sol Early Game
Your early game is fragile, so avoid reckless trades. Focus first on farming and gathering Stardust stacks. Drop Skill 3 on the minion wave and burn it with Skill 1, scaling safely.
Aurelion Sol Mid Game
As stacks build, your wave clear and roaming power grow a lot. Cross terrain with Skill 2 to join Dragon fights or other lanes quickly, and support your team with your wide AoE to move the game.
Aurelion Sol Late Game
With a large number of stacks, Aurelion Sol's Skill 3 radius and Ult impact grow greatly. In objective standoffs, simply placing Skill 3 zones the enemy out and keeps them from approaching.
Aurelion Sol Teamfights
Aurelion Sol is the centerpiece of the teamfight. Drop Ult on as much of the enemy team as possible, trap them in the Skill 3 black hole, and burn them together with the Skill 1 beam. Fly with Skill 2 and melt both frontline and backline with wide AoE damage.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
Forced roaming without stacking
Do not abandon waves early for forced roams. Aurelion Sol is a late-game carry who needs stacks to deal damage. Falling behind leaves you with no damage and makes you an easy target. Farm safely and stack first so your Level 5 Ult can do its work later.

Falling Star/The Skies Descend
⏳ 85s
Falling Star: Plucks a star from the heavens and crashes it into the earth, dealing 150 magic damage (150 + 65%AP) and stunning enemies within range for 1 second(s). Gains 8 stack(s) of Stardust for every enemy champion hit. Whenever Aurelion Sol collects 65 stack(s) of Stardust, the next Falling Star transforms into The Skies Descend. The Skies Descend: Rains down cosmic fury on the earth, dealing 188 magic damage (188 + 82%AP) over a larger area and knocking targets hit Airborne for 1 second(s). Also emits a huge shockwave at the same time, dealing 150 magic damage (150 + 65%AP) to enemy champions and epic monsters and slowing all enemies hit by 50% for 1 second(s).
Stardust stacks gained from trapping enemies increased
Aurelion Sol scales with Stardust, so gaining more of it whenever Singularity traps someone speeds up his entire power curve. A cheaper Astral Flight lets him use the ability as movement and damage more freely, and the extra Breath of Starfire damage means those trips actually hurt. He spends far less of the early game sitting on an empty mana bar.
