How to Beat Yasuo as Aurelion Sol (Mid)

While statistically Aurelion Sol is slightly stronger than Yasuo 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 Aurelion Sol deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Yasuo deals mainly physical damage (86.54%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Aurelion Sol is higher farming statistics (ranked 10th among role champions) (versus 21st for Yasuo), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.7 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Aurelion Sol Mid versus Yasuo Mid matchup

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