Aurelion Sol’s League of Legends Rework: release date, new abilities and more

Aurelion Sol’s big gameplay update is finally here. Every ability has been changed, and he’s set to hit the rift on patch 13.3. Here’s a full list of changes for the Star Forger.

League of Legends‘ Aurelion Sol is finally receiving an update to bring him up to League’s current standards. With the introduction of a new passive and the removal of some of his old abilities, the Forger of Stars should be on his way to terrify Summoner’s Rift shortly.

Aurelion Sol was released back in 2016, with a kit that quite literally revolved around him. Whilst thematically pretty interesting, his gameplay was rather clunky and caused his popularity as a champion to fall through the floor.

However, despite his low play rate, one tricks of the character found massive success with the champion in solo queue and forced Riot to slowly nerf his power level down.

Below is a full overview of everything we know thus far regarding Auerlion Sol’s upcoming rework in League of Legends.

Aurelion Sol Rework Abilities

Aurelion Sol’s new abilities still keep in line with his Star Dragon theming and have that sleek astral aesthetic to them.

With that being said, Aurelion Sol’s kit is looking to be entirely changed with the only remaining ability being his mobility spell.

Aurelion’s Passive is the new driving force behind his rework. Sol is able to infinitely collect Stardust of enemies which will upgrade his abilities in several ways.

For example, his E’s size will increase with the amount of Stardust he has collected, while his R will completely transform for the next cast if he gathers enough Stardust.

Aurelion Sol Reworked Skins

As far as we know, Riot will be updating all of Aurelion Sol’s current skins’ VFX to align with his new abilities. He’s nowhere as old as the previously reworked Udyr though, so it’s unlikely we’ll receive any model changes for any of his skins.

Here’s a list of Aurelion Sol’s current cosmetics:

• Ashen Lord Aurelion Sol (1350 RP)
• Mecha Aurelion Sol (1350 RP)
• Storm Dragon Aurelion Sol (1350 RP)

Whilst the magical star dragon won’t be receiving any model updates, Riot has announced that he will be receiving a new skin in the near future. However, it won’t be coming alongside his rework.

Aurelion Sol Release Date

The Aurelion Sol Rework will be coming with patch 13.3, the full notes of which you can find here. Unfortunately, there’s no confirmed release date for the patch right now. Everything has been delayed due to the cyberattack against Riot Games, but we’ll keep this updated to give you an exact release date when we have it.

After Aurelion Sol, we should be receiving the Ixtal enchanter Milio in accordance with Riot’s champion roadmap.
