Aurelion Sol vs Kennen

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable farming and scaling over early aggression to reach Aurelion Sol's late-game power spikes.
Maintain medium lane pressure to prevent Kennen from freely poking and stacking marks.
This is a control vs teamfight matchup where Aurelion Sol must avoid Kennen's early poke and scale into impactful teamfights.

Trading pattern

Trade using (E) into (Q) poke when Kennen has no marks or (E) is on cooldown to reduce his mobility.
Avoid extended trades to prevent Kennen from stacking marks and triggering stuns.
Punish (E) cooldown by stepping forward for short trades or wave pressure.

Danger windows

(R) with flank angles creates lethal all-in windows; avoid grouping and maintain vision.
Kennen's mark stacks combined with (R) amplify stun threat; avoid extended trades when he has multiple marks.
Kennen is most dangerous when (E) is up for engage or escape; punish him only when (E) is down.

Early game

Focus on safe farming and avoid extended trades before level 6 when (R) unlocks.
Use (E) into (Q) to poke and clear waves without overextending into Kennen's range.
Keep vision to avoid Kennen flanking with (R) and respect his mark stacks to prevent stun setups.

Power spikes

At 75+ Stardust stacks, play toward stable farm and safe fights to leverage upgraded (R) for teamfight pressure.
After completing Rylai's, increase wave pressure and trade confidence while tracking Kennen's cooldowns.
Respect Kennen's level 6 (R) power spike by preserving health and avoiding grouped fights without vision.

Win conditions

Outscale Kennen by farming safely and hitting major power spikes to dominate teamfights with upgraded (R).
Use waveclear and poke to deny Kennen mark stacks and reduce his all-in threat.
Exploit Kennen's cooldowns, especially (E) and (R), to pressure waves and force favorable fights or roams.
