Scuttle Contest
- You win early scuttle fights with your Q-W burst combo and passive stun, easily chunking or killing Aphelios before he can establish range.
- From level 6, you lose 1v1s unless you can land a perfect R-W-Q combo before he can kite you with his range advantage and weapon rotations.
Predicted Jungle Path
- Aphelios will likely start bot side for optimal weapon management and path towards top scuttle around 3:20-3:40 due to his slower clear speed.
- He may prioritize farming over early ganks since his pre-6 gank potential is limited without ultimate access.
Invade or Not
- You should invade Aphelios early game when your Q is stacked and passive is ready, targeting his jungle entrances around 2:45-3:15.
- Focus on his red side jungle where he's more vulnerable, but avoid invading after level 6 when his range and weapon variety make him dangerous.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your passive stun on jungle monsters when you know Aphelios is nearby - save it for the actual fight.
- Avoid extended trades where he can kite you with different weapons, instead focus on quick burst combos to maximize your early game advantage.
