Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Aphelios having superior sustained DPS and Thresh's Q threatening your immobility.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R + Rakan's engage, but Aphelios still wins extended trades.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W root setups when Rakan lands Q or engages with W-E combo, then follow with Q bounces and fourth shot.
- Avoid extended auto-attack trades since Aphelios outdamages you in sustained fights.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push for early recalls with Q bounces to avoid getting frozen on, since you're vulnerable to Thresh hooks when overextended.
- Maintain wave in center to have escape routes from Thresh engages.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use W aggressively without vision since Thresh can hook you during the cast animation.
- Avoid staying in lane with low health since Aphelios can easily finish you with any weapon combination.
