Kennen vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Kennen should leverage his ranged poke and high early lane pressure to deny Aurelion Sol safe scaling and force mistakes.
Prioritize maintaining lane control and using (E) defensively to avoid Aurelion Sol's poke while preparing for level 6 all-ins.
This is a lane pressure versus scaling matchup where Kennen must prevent Aurelion Sol from reaching his late-game teamfight power.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using (Q) and (W) to stack marks and avoid prolonged fights where Aurelion Sol can poke back.
Punish Aurelion Sol after he misses (Q) or (W) by engaging with (E) and following up with mark stuns.
Avoid trading when (E) is down or (R) is unavailable, as Kennen loses kill pressure and escape options.

Danger windows

Kennen is vulnerable after using (E) aggressively; avoid overextending without vision or backup.
When (R) is down, Kennen's teamfight impact drops; avoid committing to all-ins or objective fights.
Watch for Aurelion Sol's improved waveclear and poke after his first item; adjust spacing to avoid heavy damage.

Early game

Use (Q) and (W) to chip Aurelion Sol early, exploiting his weak early game and limited mobility.
Avoid extended trades without (E) ready to prevent being punished after engaging.
Look for quick all-ins before Aurelion Sol unlocks his full kit and becomes harder to punish.

Power spikes

At level 6, (R) unlocks area stuns; preserve health and look for flank or flash angles to maximize teamfight threat.
Flash plus (R) creates reliable engage windows; hold resources for decisive fights rather than low-value trades.
Respect Aurelion Sol's spikes after completing Rylai's and reaching 75+ Stardust stacks by playing safe and avoiding extended trades.

Win conditions

Deny Aurelion Sol safe farm and scaling by applying constant ranged poke and punishing cooldown windows.
Use (E) to maintain safety and position for (R) flanks or flash engages in teamfights.
Convert stacked marks into stuns to force kills or objective control before Aurelion Sol reaches late-game power.
