Aurelion Sol vs K'Sante

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable farming and scaling as Aurelion Sol's early lane agency is low against K'Sante's medium pressure.
Avoid giving K'Sante easy access to terrain angles that enable his displacement and isolation threats.
This is a control vs teamfight matchup where Aurelion Sol must survive early pressure to reach impactful mid-late game teamfights.

Trading pattern

Use (E) into (Q) for poke trades when (W) and (R) are on cooldown to minimize risk.
Punish K'Sante after he uses (W) or (R) as his damage reduction and tankiness drop.
Avoid trading when K'Sante has full (Q) stacks ready to engage or when (W) is available for displacement.

Danger windows

Beware of K'Sante's (Q3) knockback and (W) displacement combos which can set up lethal trades near terrain.
Avoid fighting near terrain when (R) is available as he can isolate and reposition you.
Exercise caution before reaching your full kit; K'Sante can punish fast all-ins early with his crowd control and tankiness.

Early game

Focus on farming safely and using (E) into (Q) to poke without overextending before level 6.
Respect K'Sante's (Q3) stacks and avoid extended trades when his displacement cooldowns are available.
Use wave control to keep distance from terrain edges and reduce K'Sante's isolation potential.

Power spikes

At 75+ Stardust stacks, leverage Aurelion Sol's upgraded (R) to pressure waves and teamfights.
After completing Rylai's, increase trade aggression as your chase and control improve.
Respect K'Sante's level 6 (R) spike which enables isolation and dueling power; avoid terrain near this timing.

Win conditions

Survive early game by farming safely and using poke to deny K'Sante easy trades.
Exploit cooldown windows on (W) and (R) to trade and pressure the wave.
Reach mid-late game scaling milestones (75+ Stardust stacks and Rylai's) to dominate teamfights and force map pressure away from top lane.
