Aurelion Sol vs Gragas

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable farming and scaling as Aurelion Sol has low early agency against Gragas's medium lane pressure.
Manage wave control to avoid giving Gragas short trade windows where his passive sustain and (W) empower him.
This is a control vs teamfight matchup where Aurelion Sol must reach late game to leverage superior roaming and teamfight impact.

Trading pattern

Trade primarily by landing (E) to set up (Q) poke and waveclear, forcing Gragas to respect your range.
Punish Gragas after he misses (E) since he loses engage and escape, creating short windows for aggression.
Avoid dashing or committing aggressively into (E) to prevent being stunned and burst down.

Danger windows

Beware of (E) stun engage and (R) displacement, especially around level 6 when these abilities unlock full threat.
Avoid extended trades when Gragas's passive sustain and (W) damage reduction are available, as he can outlast you.
Exercise caution before your full kit is online to prevent fast all-ins that can punish your early weakness.

Early game

Focus on farming safely and avoid extended trades before level 6 when (E) stun and burst are strongest.
Use (E) into (Q) to poke from a distance, respecting Gragas's ability to punish missed (E).
Avoid committing when Gragas has (W) ready as it reduces incoming damage and empowers his trades.

Power spikes

Respect Gragas's level 6 when (R) displacement can isolate or disengage; avoid overextending without it down.
Play toward stable farm and safe resets until Aurelion Sol reaches 75+ Stardust stacks, where his upgraded (R) enhances teamfight pressure.
After completing Rylai's, pressure waves and trades more confidently as your damage and control improve significantly.

Win conditions

Focus on farming safely to reach your late game power spikes where your roaming and teamfight presence dominate.
Exploit windows after Gragas misses (E) to land poke and chip damage, denying him short trade advantages.
Use upgraded (R) and Rylai's to control fights and pressure side waves, forcing Gragas to respond and enabling map movement.
