Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose most trades due to Miss Fortune's superior range and poke with Q bounces, while Lux can match your engage range with Q.
- Post-6 you win if you land Q on either target since your R provides massive lockdown potential that synergizes perfectly with Aphelios' damage output.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q hooks when Miss Fortune steps up to last hit or when Lux moves forward to ward, then immediately follow with E to displace them into Aphelios' range.
- Your W provides crucial repositioning for Aphelios to follow up on picks or escape ganks.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam frequently after level 6 when you have strong pick potential with Q-R combo.
- Optimal timings are when Aphelios has pushed the wave and can safely farm under tower, or when enemy bot lane recalls.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste Q on minions when enemies are in range to punish, as this removes your primary threat tool for 20+ seconds early game.
- Avoid using E defensively unless absolutely necessary since it's your main follow-up tool after landing Q.
