How to win lane as Aurelion Sol against Katarina · 47.64% win rate over 976 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Katarina | Her dagger-reset poke pattern out-trades your unscaled stars at level 1, she wins clean |
| Level 2 | Katarina | Same reset pattern continues to punish you at level 2 before your stars matter |
| Level 3 | Katarina | Her full W-E combo threatens kills you can't answer at level 3 |
| Levels 4-5 | Katarina | Levels 4-5 scale her burst further while your stacked stars still underperform, she stays ahead |
| Level 6 | Katarina | Death Lotus turns any roam or gank into a lane-ending threat at 6, clearly her window |
| First item | Katarina | Even with your first item her reset burst still outpaces your stacked-star damage |
| Two+ items | Aurelion Sol | Your fully scaled stars and long-range ultimate finally outclass her dive-burst kit late |
Levels 1-2 already favor Katarina since her dagger-reset trading pattern lets her poke and reset E for free while your stars are still too spread out to threaten her, and by levels 3-5 her full W-E combo turns any misstep into a kill since your stacked stars still don't hit hard enough to punish her dive.
