How to win lane as Aurelion Sol against Azir · 58.8% win rate over 267 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Azir | Azir's soldier poke and shield outrange and outtrade your early kit cleanly |
| Level 2 | Azir | His zoning with soldiers keeps winning the lane through level 3-5 |
| Level 3 | Azir | Azir's wave and range control remains ahead since your damage still lags at this stage |
| Levels 4-5 | Azir | Soldier-based zoning continues to dominate even as your star count builds toward level 5 |
| Level 6 | Azir | Emperor's Divide gives him game-defining positional control the moment he hits level 6 |
| First item | Azir | Your first item narrows the trade gap but his shield and zoning still generally win exchanges |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Both champions scale into real threats late, so late-game outcomes come down to play skill, not a clean stat edge |
Azir's soldiers let him poke and zone from a range that outclasses your early Q, and his shield can straight-up block your star's damage on a well-timed cast. He controls the wave state easily, forcing you to either miss CS or eat chip damage every time you step up. Play patient, farm off your own Q star from max range when you can, and don't contest his zoning directly before you have levels or items to answer it.
