This is Aurelion Sol's own plan; across 689 pooled games the lane is leaning Aurelion Sol.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Pantheon's burst-stun combo wins the early trades before your kit has any real punch. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | He keeps out-damaging you in short trades through the early levels. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | Same story — his early power spike keeps outpacing your still-ramping kit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | His kill pressure and lane dominance compound through levels 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Pantheon | Grand Starfall's 5500-range drop-in still favours him at level 6 if you are caught alone. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your first-item spike finally lets your Q-E combo start out-trading his falling-off burst. |
| Two+ items | Aurelion Sol | His front-loaded kit has no late-game teamfight scaling, so your ultimate and burst dominate grouped fights. |
Pantheon's Comet Spear and Shield Vault crush you in early trades, so avoid extended fights, farm with Breath of Light at its full 750 range, and treat every wave as an all-in threat until your first item comes online. Track Shield Vault: 13s at rank 1, 600 range — the dash-stun cancels Breath of Light, so start the beam only after he spends it.
