Who Wins
- Pre-6: Aphelios + Seraphine win through superior range, wave control, and consistent poke damage that outpaces your sustain.
- Post-6: The matchup remains difficult as Seraphine's R provides better teamfight setup than your R, though you gain some pick potential.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W bounces to sustain through their poke, then look for Q angles when they step up for CS or when Aphelios reloads weapons.
- Your best trading windows are E + Q combos when Kai'Sa can follow up with her gap close.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when the wave is pushing toward them and Kai'Sa can safely farm under tower, typically after they back or when Aphelios has low-range weapons.
- Look for roams around level 4-5 before Seraphine gets too much waveclear.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions or obvious angles since it's your only hard engage tool against their kiting composition.
- Avoid face-checking brushes when Aphelios might have Gravitum root setup with Seraphine follow-up.
