[2.2c] The orpressor Targons - Aurelion Sol Guide by Levi

In the current Meta, Aurelion Sol managed to become one of the most solid picks in the middle lane. He does pretty well in teamfights, has outplay potential, map pressure and can zone people pretty well. The reason most of you don't play him is that he seems to be pretty difficult to play. With these following tipps it will be much easier to do so.

• Your skill order
  W > Q > E , at Lv.1 you start with Celestial Expansion so that you can start with some high range waveclear/poke. Lv.2 you go for your Starsurge , giving you access to your basic trading combo. At Lv.3 you can chose, do you need the backport early or do you want to roam already? Go Comet Of Legend . If not, go Starsurge .
  
• Your basic-combo
  Your basic trading combo is pretty easy. Stun your opponent with Starsurge and burst him with Celestial Expansion . Try to rotate clockwise around your enemy.
  Note: Your stars do circle against the clock. So moving clockwise around your enemy does make your stars hit more often.
• Your first-to-buys
  If you get forced to backport if you have time to do so (for example if you went Comet Of Legend Lv.3) you can buy an early Catalyst of Aeons what already can be a small powerspike.
• Waveclear
  By standing sidewise to the wave you can hit every minion with Celestial Expansion at once.
• Some kit related basics
  ~ Since every champion does have something in his kit to play around, in aurelions case these are his stars. They represent your "private zone". Your Starsurge always explodes at the border of your stars (or if you re-cast it ofc). Meaning that using Celestial Expansion will stretch this border so that starsurge explodes later.
  ~ Moving the same straight direction buffs your movementspeed. ~ While using Comet Of Legend you can move in a cone-shaped area. ~ You can flash while casting Voice Of Light to replace the hitbox. ~ Voice Of Light does knock the enemy back to the border of your Center Of The Universe . ~ You can cast Starsurge while already flying in Comet Of Legend active. ~ While Starsurge is still flying you also get bonus movement speed.
• Utilizing Comet Of Legend the fullest
  Your wave is pushed out or if your mates clear your wave for you, look for a roam to sidelane with your Comet Of Legend + Starsurge combo.
  Comeet of legends active does also ignore collision, meaning that you can fly around every wall or building, giving you opportunitys to escape from bad situations.
  As already mentioned, moving straight buffs your movement speed so nobody will be able to keep up with you. ~ You can end the active early by re-casting the spell but you also can activate Celestial Expansion . This way you instantly have the spell casted while leaving the active state.
• Know your place
  Aurelion does not keept up with other midlaner you it's about 1v1's or close combat skirmishes. But he shines pretty well in roaming and teamfighting. So better avoid early skirmishes if you can't be sure to 100%-ly win it. Don't wander off alone and keep staying with your team.
• Your extended burst-Combo
  Once you've hit your powerspikes ( Voice Of Light > Rod of Ages > Liandry's Torment ) you can look for opportunitys to fight. Your basic burst-combo:
  Q > Ult > W ( Starsurge > Voice Of Light > Celestial Expansion ) - Your ult does knock the enemy back to your outer circle (the one when Celestial Expansion is activated), meanwhile flies your Q to the outer circle to stun the enemy and your stars do the rest. This way you hit everything 100%-ly.
  If you want to surprise everyone, combine your Q pre-cast with Comet Of Legend , making it easier to hit your ult.
• Use your map-pressure
  As we already know, aurelion sol can fly almost over the whole map. Use this to interrupt fights or the enemy doing drake or baron. If you already own your core items you can also look for a kill or steal.
• Go for flashy plays
  As already mentioned, Voice Of Light does knock the enemy to the border of the outer circle. But what if you use it on enemys already standing there? This case your ult does only slow them. But there is a "cheat". If you flash into your enemy while casting Voice Of Light you can still knock back them since you move the outer circle AWAY from your enemy. You also can insac enemys if you cast your ult behind you while flashing behind the enemy.
• He's a beast on the current Patch!
  If you want to learn him someday, now is the time. He does pretty well on the current Patch (2.0.0) in both, soloq and competetive.
