Aurelion Sol vs Aatrox

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize farming safely and scaling into late game where Aurelion Sol's teamfight and roaming impact peak.
Avoid giving Aatrox extended trades or lane pressure windows to prevent him from snowballing through sustained fights.

Trading pattern

Trade by poking with (E) followed by (Q) to chip Aatrox while maintaining safe spacing.
Punish Aatrox after he misses his (Q1) or when his (E) repositioning is down to limit his threat range.
Avoid extended trades when Aatrox has (R) active, as his healing and resets make him stronger in close fights.

Danger windows

Beware of Aatrox chaining (Q) sweet spots with (E) repositioning, especially when (W) pull limits your escape.
Exercise caution during (R) active window due to his amplified healing and reset potential in trades.
Avoid extended trades if (Q) and (E) are available to reposition and punish missed skillshots.

Early game

Focus on waveclear with (E) into (Q) to maintain distance and avoid (Q) sweet spots.
Avoid early all-ins before accessing your full kit to reduce risk of being punished by Aatrox's sustained damage and healing.
Use medium mobility from (W) to reposition and stay out of (W) pull and (Q) knockup ranges.

Power spikes

Respect Aatrox's level 6 (R) spike that increases his sustain and chase potential; avoid prolonged fights during this window.
Play toward stable farm and safe resets until reaching 75+ Stardust stacks to upgrade (R) and improve teamfight pressure.
After completing Rylai's, increase wave and trade pressure confidently, leveraging improved damage and control.

Win conditions

Focus on safe farming and scaling to reach late game where Aurelion Sol's roaming and teamfight presence dominate.
Exploit windows when (Q) or (E) are on cooldown to poke and control the wave.
Use upgraded (R) and item power spikes to pressure waves and force Aatrox into unfavorable fights or recalls.
