Who Wins
- Pre-6: Aphelios + Sona wins through superior range, sustain, and poke damage while you lack mobility to engage effectively.
- Post-6: You win all-ins with R active due to permanent Q attack speed, upgraded W laser poke, and E dash engage potential.
Synergy & Trading
- Stack Q on minions before trades, then use E movement speed to close distance for auto-attacks while Lulu provides W polymorph or E shield.
- Focus on short burst trades rather than extended fights until you have R available for sustained damage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves aggressively when R is available to pressure tower and force fights in your power window.
- When R is down, focus on freezing near your tower to farm safely and avoid Aphelios' superior range advantage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste R for minor trades or poke - save it for decisive all-ins or team fights where the 15-second window can secure kills.
- Avoid fighting without Q stacks as your damage output becomes significantly weaker without the attack speed bonus.
