Read from Karma's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Aurelion Sol.
This is Karma's own plan; across 1,173 pooled games the lane is leaning Aurelion Sol.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Karma | Level 1 you dominate — AS has no threat range yet and you freely poke and deny. |
| Level 2 | Karma | Level 2 continues in your favor as his stars are still too short to punish you. |
| Level 3 | Karma | Level 3 you're still clearly ahead, denying his farm and health. |
| Levels 4-5 | Karma | Levels 4-5 stay yours while Stardust is thin and Singularity costs 90 mana. |
| Level 6 | Karma | Level 6 is still yours — Falling Star is 120s, and Stardust is not stacked yet. |
| First item | Aurelion Sol | With his first item Singularity executes at the centre and out-zones anything your poke does. |
| Two+ items | Aurelion Sol | Late Stardust makes Singularity a percent-health black hole that executes — you cannot stand in it. |
Levels 1-2 you dominate — Aurelion Sol is slow, has no Stardust banked, and cannot punish your Mantra-Q poke from 950 while Breath of Light reaches 750. Track Astral Flight (W): 22s at rank 1, 16s at rank 5 — he is a stationary battery while it is down, and it flies over terrain to cut your retreat. He is a stationary battery before Stardust stacks; poke him relentlessly with Mantra Q from 950 against his 750 Breath of Light, and remember your W root cancels that channel outright.
