Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 as Karma's shield negates your poke while her Q-W combo outdamages your Q-E in short trades.
- Post-6 you win extended fights if you land R on multiple targets, but Twitch's stealth makes positioning your ultimate difficult.
Synergy & Trading
- Lead with Q when Twitch is visible to force movement, then E-W combo when he's slowed or rooted by your ADC.
- Save W for when Karma commits forward with R-Q, as the slow helps Aphelios follow up with weapon-specific combos.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Hard push early levels with Q-W to establish vision control and deny Twitch farm, then transition to neutral wave states.
- Avoid slow-pushing without deep wards as Twitch's stealth flanks become deadly during these vulnerable windows.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E reactively against Twitch's stealth engage, as the delay gives him time to reposition.
- Never waste R on just Karma's shield, as you need the true damage passive stacks to threaten Twitch's low base health pool.
