Orianna vs Aurelion Sol

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Orianna is a control mage with medium lane pressure who must manage ball placement to zone and create teamfight opportunities.
She should pressure the wave to deny Aurelion Sol's safe farming and scaling, as he has low early agency and is vulnerable before full kit access.

Trading pattern

Trade by zoning with Q and W, then shield or speed with E to survive counterattacks.
Punish when Aurelion Sol's Q and W are on cooldown or he mispositions his stars.
Avoid extended trades if Q is on cooldown or ball position is poor.

Danger windows

Be cautious around Orianna R cooldown as it is her main displacement and teamfight tool.
Avoid all-ins before Orianna has enough mana and AP to sustain trades and shield effectively.
Punish Aurelion Sol early before he gains full kit access but respect his roaming potential by managing wave state.

Early game

Punish Aurelion Sol's weak early game by using quick trades before he unlocks his full kit.
Use Q and W to poke safely while maintaining ball control to avoid all-ins.
Avoid reckless ability use to prevent being punished due to immobility.

Power spikes

Orianna's major spikes are level 6 R and first completed mage item.
Respect Aurelion Sol's late-game power spike when his R upgrades after 75+ stacks and he completes Rylais.
Orianna must leverage her level 6 R to control fights and punish Aurelion Sol before his late scaling.

Win conditions

Control lane with precise ball placement to zone Aurelion Sol and deny his scaling farm.
Use level 6 R to set up kills or force Aurelion Sol to play defensively.
Create teamfight opportunities by maintaining ball control and positioning for Shockwave to maximize impact.
