How to beat Orianna as Aurelion Sol: the early game

Orianna out-ranges you before level 6 — the ball chips you on every wave interaction, so farm passively with Breath of Light, track where the ball is parked rather than where she stands, and never start a channel inside 410 units of it. Track Command: Shockwave: 110s at rank 1, 410 units around the ball — the launch cancels Breath of Light and Astral Flight, so channel only when the ball is elsewhere.
