Aurelion Sol needs Singularity to hold you still, and his damage is channelled — Breath of Light on 3s and Astral Flight both break the moment your taunt lands. Close with E and whatever he was mid-way through is wasted. Short trades favour you from level 1. Track Astral Flight is 22s at rank 1 — it is his reposition and his escape, and he is a stationary battery while it is down.
