Sol

How to play Sol

Sol is a ranged mage from the Norse pantheon who deals magical damage. Top players mostly play Sol in the Carry (duo) lane (61% of games) and the Mid lane (39% of games).

In your kit, Stellar Burst (next attack explodes, slowing) slows enemies. Radiance (heal, area damage) and Disapparate (speed up, then become immune) add damage and pressure. Your ultimate is Supernova (multiple area damage knockback), on a long cooldown (about 90s at rank 1), so save it for fights that matter. Your passive is Unstable Manifestation: hit enemies, get stronger.

Community guides level Stellar Burst, Radiance and Disapparate first. Max Stellar Burst first, then Radiance, then Disapparate.

Most of your damage comes from abilities, so fight from behind your front line and never be the closest god to the enemy. Look for the moment your crowd control can land, then follow up with the rest of your damage. You have no dash, so your positioning is your escape. In the duo lane, last hit minions for gold and let your support start fights.

Start with Sharpshooter's Arrow, then buy Devourer's Gauntlet. Buy it early so it finishes stacking. Your core is Dagger of Frenzy and Dominance, and you finish with The Executioner, Riptalon and Silverbranch Bow. A good relic is Purification Beads. If the enemy team heals a lot or you keep dying, open the full tool and enter the enemy gods for the exact swaps.

If you own Aspect of Conflagration, it reworks Unstable Manifestation (hit enemies, abilities get stronger) and Disapparate (speed up, immune, explode). It changes what to build, so turn on Aspect in the tool when you play it.

Top players win most often against Nox, Ne Zha and Cernunnos, and struggle against Fenrir, Bastet or Da Ji. Against those, play safer and consider a defensive item earlier.
