Sion vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable wave control and health stacking to reach your tanky front-line state against Aurelion Sol's poke and scaling threat.
Avoid giving Aurelion Sol free scaling by denying him passive farming and punishing his weak early game with controlled aggression.

Trading pattern

Trade by landing (E) slows to enable charged (Q) knockups from hidden angles, maximizing your hard CC threat.
Punish Aurelion Sol after missed (Q) poke or when his (W) waveclear is on cooldown.
Avoid extended trades without (W) shield or when (Q) is interrupted, as you lack mobility and sustained damage.

Danger windows

Beware of Aurelion Sol's upgraded ultimate power spike (75+ Stardust stacks) that increases his roaming and teamfight threat.
Avoid committing when your (W) shield is down or (Q) is on cooldown, as your trade threat drops significantly.
Respect fog and brush vision control, as Aurelion Sol can punish poor positioning with his poke and roaming potential.

Early game

Use your (E) slow to set up charged (Q) from fog or brush for quick trades before Aurelion Sol has his full kit.
Avoid visible (Q) charges and only commit when Aurelion Sol's main poke cooldowns are down.
Focus on farming safely and stacking (W) health shield to survive poke and prepare for level 6 engage.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) with clear engage paths to force fights or return to lane with pressure.
After first tank item and (W) stacks, absorb space and threaten charged (Q) zones to become a reliable front line.
Respect Aurelion Sol's spike at 75+ Stardust stacks and after Rylai's completion by playing safer and denying him free scaling.

Win conditions

Deny Aurelion Sol safe farming by controlling waves and threatening fog-charged (Q) engages.
Reach high health scaling with (W) stacks and tank items to become an unkillable front line initiating with (R).
Use long-range engage paths with (R) to start or disrupt fights, forcing your team to capitalize on your crowd control and durability.
