The Star Forger
Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (1,927 games).
Aurelion Sol, the Star Forger, grows for the whole game: Cosmic Creator turns damage into Stardust that upgrades every ability. Our Master+ sample found him Mid and in the bot lane about equally often; Deathfire Touch led, and his two leading paths share an opening pair, Rylai's Crystal Scepter and Liandry's Torment.

Dodge the primary — its rotation is one skillshot; sidestep it and the rest is chip
Punish the cooldown — Aurelion Sol is exposed while its rotation is down
Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one
Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 7/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average
Trade on your terms — take the fight where its damage lands on nobody
PCosmic Creator
Aurelion Sol's damaging Abilities break down enemies into stacks of Stardust, which permanently improves each of his abilities.
Passive — never cast
QBreath of Light
Aurelion Sol channels his dragon breath for a few seconds, damaging the first enemy hit and splashing reduced damage onto nearby enemies. Each second the breath is channeled directly at an enemy will deal bonus damage, which is improved by the amount of Stardust that's been collected. This ability collects Stardust if the target is a champion.
Cost 30/35/40/45/50 ManaCooldown 3sRange 750
WAstral Flight
Aurelion Sol flies over terrain in a targeted direction. While in this state, he can cast other abilities. Breath of Light no longer has a cooldown or maximum channel duration and deals increased damage while flying.Astral Flight's remaining cooldown is reduced whenever an enemy champion dies after being recently damaged by Aurelion Sol.Stardust increases Astral Flight's maximum range.
Cost 50/55/60/65/70 ManaCooldown 22/20/18/16/14sRange 1500
ESingularity
Aurelion Sol summons a black hole, damaging enemies and slowly pulling them toward its center. This ability grants Stardust each time an enemy dies within the black hole and for each second an enemy champion is caught inside it. The center of the black hole executes enemies who are below a certain percentage of their maximum health. Stardust increases Singularity's area as well as the execution threshold.
Cost 90 ManaCooldown 12sRange 750
RFalling Star / The Skies Descend
Falling Star: Aurelion Sol crashes a star into the earth. This impact deals magic damage and stuns enemies while also granting Stardust for each enemy champion it hits. Gathering enough Stardust transforms Aurelion Sol's next Falling Star into The Skies Descend.The Skies Descend: Aurelion Sol drags a giant star down from the heavens with an increased impact zone and increased damage, knocking up enemies rather than stunning them. A shockwave then spreads from the edge of the impact zone, which damages and slows the enemies it hits. Stardust increases the impact area of both Falling Star and The Skies Descend.
Cost 100 ManaCooldown 120/110/100sRange 1250
Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Aurelion Sol in 2 patches. The latest is patch 26.17, published 2026-08-25.
QBreath of Light
WAstral Flight
Aurelion Sol has come out the loser of last patch's mage adjustments, so we are giving him a buff to help him out. In particular, we are buffing his W cooldown so he can use it a bit more freely rather than only when a reset is likely. This should also make it a bit more clear to players that W is typically the stronger second skill to max, rather than E. Q - Breath of Light
Base Stats
QBreath of Light
While Aurelion Sol can still be a menace in the late game (deliberately so), we don’t think his early game needs to be quite as painful as it currently is so we’re giving him better early trades and generally improving his ability to dodge skill shots and navigate fights. His W is based on his underlying move speed, so this move speed buff helps his flying, too.
Riot's data lists 7 looks for Aurelion Sol with their own art, the base skin included and 31 chroma variants.
