Do

  • Q-poke on fresh ground at wave contact

How to beat Aurelion Sol as Taliyah: the early game

You hard-win the early lane: Q out-pokes his short-range Breath of Light and you deny the safe farm his whole scaling plan depends on. Track Astral Flight is 22s at rank 1 — his reposition and escape; he is a stationary battery while it is down, and your W or E interrupts the flight channel. You punish Aurelion Sol's weak early game: Q Threaded Volley pokes and shoves faster than his Q Breath of Light can stack, and every time he steps to farm your worked-ground poke chunks him.
