Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior burst and mobility, especially at level 2 with W-Q combo that Aphelios cannot match.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage with R amplifying your burst potential while Aphelios lacks reliable escape tools against your assassination patterns.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves W forward for gap close, Q for mark, then auto-E combo before W back to safety.
- This maximizes your burst while minimizing exposure to Aphelios' sustained damage and potential weapon combinations.
Wave Control
- You should maintain aggressive wave control by shoving waves with W-Q combo to create roam timers and deny Aphelios farm.
- Fast pushing prevents him from establishing favorable weapon rotations and limits his ability to scale safely.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Avoid extended trades where Aphelios can utilize multiple weapon autos and abilities, as his sustained damage will eventually outdamage your burst cooldowns.
- Never commit W forward without vision of enemy jungler since you become extremely vulnerable if your escape is on cooldown.
