Early game (levels 1–5)

You have the edge early because Aurelion Sol is a slow-scaling stacker with no burst or mobility, while your E (Death Ray) lets you shove and poke him off the wave. His whole game plan is farming Q (Breath of Light) stacks safely, so every minion and every bit of poke you deny sets his scaling back. Push the first waves in and force him to farm under tower or eat damage. Deny him the free early game he wants.
