Aurelion Sol vs Irelia

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize farming safely to reach Aurelion Sol's strong mid-late game scaling while managing Irelia's high early pressure.
Maintain medium lane pressure to avoid giving Irelia passive stacks and reset paths that empower her all-ins.
This is a scale-versus-snowball matchup where Aurelion Sol must survive early aggression and leverage teamfight and roaming impact later.

Trading pattern

Trade by landing (E) followed by (Q) poke when Irelia lacks passive stacks or reset minions.
Avoid trading when Irelia has (E) or (R) available, as these enable her reliable all-in and crowd control.
Punish Irelia's missed (E) stun or (Q) forward without reset by stepping up for short trades and wave pressure.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Irelia has low-health minions enabling (Q) resets and when (E) or (R) are off cooldown for all-ins.
Avoid extended trades or standing near minions without escape paths, as Irelia can chain resets and stun.
Track Irelia's cooldowns closely and back off when her engage tools are available to prevent lethal trades.

Early game

Focus on wave control to keep minions away from Irelia's reset paths and avoid giving her low-health minions for (Q) resets.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Irelia's early (Q)+(E) combo can punish fast all-ins.
Use (E) to poke and clear waves safely, minimizing risk from Irelia's high early agency and mobility.

Power spikes

Respect Irelia's level 2 power spike when she gains (Q) and (E), increasing her all-in threat around minion waves.
Respect Irelia's level 6 (R) spike that enables stronger engages and extended fights; avoid extended trades during this window.
Play toward stable farm and safe resets until reaching 75+ stacks for upgraded (R), then pressure waves and fights more confidently.

Win conditions

Survive early lane pressure by denying Irelia minion reset paths and passive stacks through wave control.
Reach late game scaling where upgraded (R) and item powers enable impactful teamfighting and roaming.
Use (E) poke and waveclear to control lane tempo and create safe opportunities to farm and roam, avoiding risky all-ins before full kit access.
