Aurelion Sol vs Cho'Gath

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable farming and scaling, as both champions have low early agency and medium lane pressure.
Use wave control to avoid giving Cho'Gath free passive scaling and health stacking opportunities.
This is a control vs scaling matchup where Aurelion Sol aims to outscale Cho'Gath through teamfight impact and map pressure.

Trading pattern

Trade short poke combos by landing (E) followed by (Q) while (Q) and (W) are on cooldown.
Avoid extended trades before your full kit and item powers to reduce risk of being punished by Cho'Gath's silence and execute.
Punish missed (Q) knockups by stepping forward to apply pressure and force Cho'Gath to farm safely.

Danger windows

Beware of (Q) knockup followed by (W) silence combo, which can lock you down for heavy damage.
Avoid trading or positioning aggressively when (R) execute is available on low-health targets.
Be cautious of Cho'Gath's all-ins before you complete key items and have your full kit ready.

Early game

Focus on farming safely and avoid early all-ins before you have your full kit and item power spikes.
Use (E) into (Q) to poke and clear waves without overextending into (Q) knockup and (W) silence.
Maintain spacing to dodge Cho'Gath's delayed (Q) and avoid predictable movement near minions.

Power spikes

Respect Cho'Gath's level 6 (R) execute power spike by avoiding low-health trades and objective fights.
Play toward your own major spikes: upgraded (R) after 75+ stacks and completion of Rylai's for stronger wave control and chase potential.
After your item spikes, increase wave pressure and poke to force Cho'Gath into defensive postures.

Win conditions

Win by safely farming to reach your late-game scaling power spikes and upgraded (R) for impactful teamfights.
Use wave control to deny Cho'Gath free passive health stacking and force him into unfavorable trades.
Exploit Cho'Gath's cooldown windows on (Q) and (W) to land poke and pressure him away from minions, preventing his sustain and scaling.
