This is Aurelion Sol's own plan; across 3,039 pooled games the lane is leaning Aurelion Sol.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Viktor | Viktor's poke and zone control win the level 1-2 trades outright before your kit ramps |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Hextech Ray clears the wave from 525 range and keeps you off CS |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Your E is online but Gravity Field's 17s zone still owns the ground you want |
| Levels 4-5 | Viktor | Astral Flight is up, but landing in his 600-range Siphon Power loses the trade |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Arcane Storm is a channel — Falling Star's stun cancels it, so level 6 cuts both ways |
| First item | Even / skill | Rod of Ages online: your E clears waves and every Q tick banks stardust |
| Two+ items | Aurelion Sol | By two items and full stacks your global threat and burst finally outscale his plateaued kit |
Viktor's Siphon Power poke and Gravity Field zoning make it very hard to farm safely or find angles to stack your Q, and he snowballs his Hex Core upgrades off this early lane dominance while your kit is still ramping, so you're on the back foot through the laning phase. Track Gravity Field is 17s at rank 1 down to 13s at rank 5 — the moment it lands you cannot channel, so walk out or fight outside it.
