How to win lane as Akshan against Aurelion Sol · 56.16% win rate over 495 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Akshan | Akshan: he lacks any gap-closer or escape before level 6, making him easy to poke down. |
| Level 2 | Akshan | Akshan: his stars are still weak, so Akshan's ranged pressure continues unanswered. |
| Level 3 | Akshan | Akshan: mana costs and slow scaling keep him on the back foot against continued poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Akshan | Akshan: even nearing 6, his stationary combo is still avoidable with Akshan's mobility. |
| Level 6 | Akshan | Akshan: in-lane his stars aren't fully online yet, so the poke advantage holds despite his new ultimate. |
| First item | Akshan | Akshan: his damage is still catching up to a real threat level at this point. |
| Two+ items | Aurelion Sol | Aurelion Sol: his fully stacked stars and R-enabled combo now out-damage and out-range Akshan's kit. |
Akshan dominates this lane early since Aurelion Sol has no dash or blink before level 6 and his stars need time to charge before his Q does real damage. Poke him relentlessly with Q boomerang and punish him whenever he tries to walk up and orbit you with stars, since your E lets you dodge his Starsurge stun attempts. He's also mana-hungry early, so keep the pressure on to force him into losing farm or flashing away.
