How to win lane as Aurelion Sol against Karma · 51.13% win rate over 1,148 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Karma | Focused Resolve's range and root outclass your unscaled star orbit at level 1, so she wins the poke exchange |
| Level 2 | Karma | Same root-and-poke pattern continues to punish you at level 2 before your stars do meaningful damage |
| Level 3 | Karma | Her Q root plus growing poke keeps you on the back foot through level 3 |
| Levels 4-5 | Karma | Mantra-empowered poke at levels 4-5 still out-trades your spread stars, she remains ahead |
| Level 6 | Karma | Even with your ult live at 6, her peel tools make an all-in on her a loss, she still favors this window |
| First item | Aurelion Sol | Your first-item burn damage finally out-trades her poke-only kit, flipping the lane to you |
| Two+ items | Aurelion Sol | Your scaled stars and global ultimate outclass her utility-only late kit completely |
Levels 1-2 already favor Karma because Focused Resolve outranges your auto-attacks and roots you the moment you step up for a star hit, letting her poke freely while you're stuck orbiting stars that don't threaten her from safe distance. Levels 3-5 are the same story with mantra amplifying her root and shield, so you're forced to farm passively under tower pressure and just soak the poke rather than trade back.
