He needs distance and you commute through walls — bleed the contacts, shove, and tax the side lanes he can't warn fast enough.
Track: Aurelion Sol's W — Astral Flight (22–16s cooldown). His reposition and escape — he is a stationary battery while it is down.
Read from Talon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Aurelion Sol.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Talon | Level 1 is yours because ASol has no early kill pressure and you can bully his farm freely. |
| Level 2 | Talon | Level 2 stays Talon-favoured as your slow-into-Q beats his weak early Breath of Light trade. |
| Level 3 | Talon | Level 3 is your window: full W+Q burst on a stack-reliant mage with no escape. |
| Levels 4-5 | Talon | Levels 4-5 remain yours: with few stacks and a 22s W escape, he can't survive a timed all-in. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 stays yours as Shadow Assault kills him before his ultimate and stacks matter. |
| First item | Talon | First item favours you because Dirk/Youmuu's one-combos him before his health and stacks scale. |
| Two+ items | Aurelion Sol | Two-plus items are Aurelion Sol's: stacked Q, huge health, and Astral Flight kite and outscale you. |
Levels 1-4 are yours to dominate. Aurelion Sol has no early kill threat and needs stacks, so W-slow and Q onto him whenever he steps up to farm; his Breath of Light barely trades back over a short window and he has no escape yet. Shove and starve his stacks relentlessly. Track Aurelion Sol Astral Flight (W): 22s at rank 1 — his reposition and escape; he is a stationary battery while it is down.
