League of Legends previews the abilities and strategy for Aurelion Sol

The newest addition to League of Legends has been unveiled in his totality today: Aurelion Sol, the Star Forger, more informally known to people as “a space dragon who smashes stars.” And he more or less lives up to the reputation, even if he can’t actually just smash everything with intergalactic power due to balance concerns. Instead, Aurelion Sol’s impact is felt by making his simple presence a major threat to enemies in any lane.

Most of Aurelion Sol’s damage comes from his passive ability, a trio of stars which orbit him and deal damage to enemies caught in their path. The result is that Aurelion Sol provides a sizable threat to anyone nearby, and when coupled with his ability to fly over obstacles or nurse an exploding star as he carries it to its destination, he’ll require attention almost immediately when he shows up. Check out all of the details of his ability and how to make the best use of his kit on the preview page.
