Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Sona sustain negating your poke and Aphelios having better 2v2 damage, but win post-6 when R gives you massive zone control and true damage.
- Level 3 Q-W-E combo becomes threatening if you can land Q consistently.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to force enemy movement, then follow with W when they dodge predictably, saving E for when Vayne Q's forward or Aphelios steps up.
- Always position to hit both enemies with W for maximum pressure and passive stacks.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Don't roam early as your ADC needs protection from Aphelios burst potential and you provide crucial zone control.
- Look for roams only after level 6 when you can clear waves quickly with R and have kill pressure mid.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use R without proper vision control, as Aphelios can easily interrupt with Gravitum or the enemy jungler can collapse.
- Don't waste Q on minions for wave clear when enemies are in lane, as it's your only reliable engage tool.
