Who Wins
- Pre-6: Aphelios + Alistar wins due to Aphelios' superior range and Alistar's engage threat forcing you into defensive positioning.
- Post-6: You gain significant kill pressure with your R execute combined with Thresh's CC chain, making the 2v2 more even but still slightly favoring them due to range disadvantage.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for W resets after Thresh lands Q - jump in for the E stack explosion then use your range advantage during the reset window.
- Focus on short, explosive trades rather than extended ones since Aphelios outranges you significantly.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early levels to hit your powerspikes first, then look to freeze near your tower where Thresh can punish Alistar's engage attempts.
- Avoid slow pushing mid-game as it gives Aphelios free poke windows.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never W aggressively without vision of enemy jungler or when Alistar has W+Q available.
- Getting combo'd mid-jump is a guaranteed death with no escape options remaining.
