Learn how to Aphelios counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Engage when Aphelios is isolated — his lack of mobility makes him extremely vulnerable to all-ins and crowd control.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Stand outside of the minion wave when fighting against Infernum (flamethrower) — this prevents him from hitting you with splash damage while clearing waves.
Basic Lane Phase
Focus Aphelios at the start of team fights when possible — taking him down early prevents his powerful ultimate from turning fights.
Team Fight
Don't position behind the tower when pushed under it — Aphelios's AOE attacks with Infernum can hit you through the tower.
Basic Lane Phase
Watch for his current main weapon in his right hand — this determines his basic attack pattern and Q ability.
Lane Phase Team Fight
Disengage when Aphelios has many chakrams spinning around him — these significantly increase his damage output in close range.
Skirmish Team Fight
Back away when marked by Aphelios's Calibrum (sniper rifle) — this prevents his follow-up long-range attack that deals bonus damage.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Keep trades short when Aphelios has Severum (red scythe) equipped — this minimizes the healing and shielding he gets from sustained combat.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Be cautious if Aphelios runs in a specific direction when you're chasing — despite his lack of mobility, he may be leading you toward his jungler.
Lane Phase
Avoid trading with Aphelios at level 1 if you're an AP champion — his AD-based damage will outperform yours early.
