League of Legends' Aurelion Sol rework breakdown including new abilities and release date.

Aurelion Sol is receiving a rework in League of Legends Patch 13.3 changing how the Star Forger will operate on Summoner's Rift.

There are so many champions in League of Legends, which makes it near impossible to ensure that all of them are playable in the meta. If a champion is struggling to see play for a large period of time, then Riot Games usually reworks their abilities to make them more viable. Some examples from the past are Mordekaiser, Irelia and Udyr.

Here's a look at Aurelion Sol's new kit.

League of Legends Aurelion Sol Reworked Abilities

Cosmic Creator (Passive)

Aurelion Sol's damaging abilities will grant him Stardust, which will improve his abilities permanently. This is similar to Syndra's recent rework, as her passive generates stacks that will eventually upgrade her other three abilities.

Breath of Light (Q)

Much like a dragon, Aurelion Sol's new Q shows him breathing light on his foe that deals reduced damage to nearby enemies. The range of Breath of Light (Q) will increase based on Aurelion Sol's level. This ability does burst damage if used on an enemy for a full second, and these bursts grant Aurelion Sol Stardust. Gathering Stardust will empower this ability.

Astral Flight (W)

This ability looks similar to Aurelion Sol's previous Comet of Legend (E) ability, which let him fly across the terrain and cast his Q while flying. The developers kept nearly everything the same, as his Astral Flight (W) will also allow him to cast his Q while flying. Stardust will increase the max range of this ability.

Singularity (E)

Aurelion Sol summons a black hole that slowly pulls them toward the center and does damage. If the enemies are pulled to the middle and are low enough, then they will be executed. These executions will grant Aurelion Sol more Stardust, which will increase the size of the black hole and heighten the execute threshold.

Falling Star/Skies Descend (R)

The Falling Star (R) is the base form of his ultimate, which summons a star from the sky that deals damage and stuns enemies hit. Aurelion Sol gathers Stardust based on the number of enemy champions hit. The Stardust will increase the size of the star and collecting 75 Stardust will upgrade his next ultimate.

The Skies Descend (R) is the next ultimate casted after reaching 75 Stardust. This upgraded version will increase the impact zone and damage dealt to enemies. Importantly, the impact zone will knock enemies up instead of stunning them. Upon landing, there is a shockwave that spreads far across the map that will damage and slow enemies. Gathering Stardust will increase the impact zone of his ultimate.

League of Legends Aurelion Sol Rework Release Date

Aurelion Sol's rework is scheduled to be released with Patch 13.3. Since Patch 13.1 will be released tomorrow, we are still about four weeks away from the patch with an updated Aurelion Sol. Based on the typical release dates of patches previously, Aurelion Sol's update should be playable on Feb. 7.
