Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vex is a high early agency burst mage aiming to punish Aurelion Sol's weak early game and prevent his scaling.
Maintain lane pressure to deny Aurelion Sol a passive farming lane and force him to struggle against your burst.

Trading pattern

Trade aggressively when your passive fear is available to proc electrocute and burst Aurelion Sol.
Dodge Aurelion Sol Q and W to minimize his poke and punish his cooldown windows with your burst.
Use W shield to absorb poke damage and follow up with E slow to control his movement during trades.

Danger windows

You are vulnerable when your R is down as you lose reset and mobility, avoid all-ins then.
If you fail to land your passive fear, Aurelion Sol can punish your immobility with poke and waveclear.
Watch for Aurelion Sol's poke combos with Aurelion Sol E into Aurelion Sol Q that can chunk you before you engage.

Early game

Use your passive fear to start trades before Aurelion Sol gets his full kit and poke online.
Avoid extended trades where Aurelion Sol can safely use Aurelion Sol Q and Aurelion Sol E to poke and waveclear.
Prioritize quick all-ins to exploit Aurelion Sol's vulnerability before level 6.

Power spikes

Level 6 R is your major power spike for engage and resets; use it to all-in before Aurelion Sol scales.
Your first completed AP burst item significantly increases kill threat in trades.
Respect Aurelion Sol's late-game power spike when his ultimate upgrades and he becomes a strong roaming and teamfight threat.

Win conditions

Use your passive fear to win early trades and deny Aurelion Sol safe farming to delay his scaling.
All-in aggressively at level 6 using R to reset and snowball lane control.
Keep Aurelion Sol pressured to prevent him from roaming and scaling into his late-game teamfight strength.
