View detailed statistics below: items, runes, and counter builds for Akali Mid vs Aurelion Sol Mid in patch 15.15 (25.15), including win rates and pick rates. With proper study, this can improve your chances of victory up to 79.6% in this matchup.

Statistical Matchup Analysis

Akali dominates the meta (7th most popular, 6.2% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Aurelion Sol (2.1% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of mid lane's current powerhouses. Even tiers, uneven results: Both champions sit at B+-tier, but Akali claims a meaningful 51.8% vs 48.2% advantage. Akali's kit synergizes better in this specific head-to-head matchup. Optimize for consistency: Electrocute paired with Sudden Impact (80.5% win rate, 1.3% popularity) provides the stats you need, while the item sequence Stormsurge > Shadowflame > Void Staff with Sorcerer's Shoes delivers 79.6% win rate against Aurelion Sol.

Win through macro: Akali takes the matchup (51.81%) despite falling behind in CS (5.42 vs 6.47/min). Your victories come through roaming, team fighting, and map pressure rather than 1v1 lane dominance. Complete superiority: Akali dominates both win rate (51.8%) and damage output (866 vs 731/min, 2nd among Mid). The 135 damage/min difference creates massive snowball potential. Intriguing anomaly: Akali wins the matchup (51.8%) despite a lower KDA (2.30 vs 2.60). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Aurelion Sol as Akali (Mid)

While statistically Akali is slightly stronger than Aurelion Sol in the mid lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Akali deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Aurelion Sol deals primarily magic damage (95.57%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Aurelion Sol, ranking 37th (versus 55th for Akali) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.6 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Akali Mid versus Aurelion Sol Mid matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Akali player to maintain constant pressure on Aurelion Sol, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Akali tips:

  • Akali excels at killing fragile champions. Let your team initiate and then strike at the people in the back.
  • Twilight Shroud offers safety in even the most dangerous situations. Use that time to save up energy for a quick strike later.
