How to win lane as Aurelion Sol against Malzahar · 53.22% win rate over 1,304 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Malzahar | Malzahar out-ranges and out-pokes you from level 1 with Call of the Void, so you lose lane tempo immediately. |
| Level 2 | Malzahar | His Void Swarm DoT plus safe poke keeps grinding your HP while you're stuck farming passively. |
| Level 3 | Malzahar | Same pattern continues — he wins every extended trade before your kit comes online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Malzahar | His poke and wave control snowball further as he out-farms you through the mid levels. |
| Level 6 | Malzahar | Nether Grasp's guaranteed suppress combo at 6 is nearly unanswerable and often means a kill. |
| First item | Malzahar | Your Liandry's-boosted Q-E finally lets you match his sustained damage output in a straight trade. |
| Two+ items | Aurelion Sol | Your teamfight ultimate zones and burns his whole team while his suppress is only single-target, flipping late fights your way. |
Malzahar's Call of the Void has huge range and can be cast from stealth/brush, so he punishes you for stepping up to CS long before you have any tools to fight back; farm passively with Q Starfire from max range and just accept a slow early game rather than trading into his silence-poke.
