Tips Against Aphelios in Bottom Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
LionelOCE says “Aphelios outranges you with his sniper gun but he is forced to take cleanse for your arrow. You can contest priority against him and once you've picked up your Berserker's Grieves, it is quite possible to run him down in the long lane with the help of your support.”

koggywoggy says “his champ sucks really bad just don't fight if he has red + white, dirk rush is really nice here (2 POINTS Q)”

NearChance says “Aphelios has a great form of CC in Gravitum(Purple Gun) and can harass with Calibrum(Sniper) but with 2 ranks in W you outrange it.
Severum(Red Lifesteal) doesn't mean much. While lifesteal can counter this playstyle his self sustain is low. ”
0
Pengwan says “Champion does alot. Mainly don't duel him when he has red, white guns and care for picks when he has green, purple guns. Main problem with this matchup is just that Aphelios is really difficult to know exactly how much damage he can do due to the constant gun swaps”

KnobHobbler says “Not a very good champ right now.
Avoid fighting if he has gravatum. His calibrum and infernum are a pain to deal with too.
Push wave under tower.
Should win 1v1 if he isn't fed.”

NotAragami says “200 YEARS. In laning phase he will try to poke you with the white gun. When you decide to engage watch out for his turret as it deals a lot of damage. ”

UwUSoftGirl says “[Short Trades] Aphelios is a bit of a glass canon. He only has 2 abilities (One Q per weapon), so once he uses one you can take a small trade. He doesn't have his ability lvl 1, so look for a small trade with your support if he doesn't have an all-in support (Like Leona) ”

Doody_tco says “Miss Fortune has a larger attack range than Aphelios. As long as you know which weapons are available, Miss Fortune can be safe”

DixonTheGuideMaker says “Stand outside of the minion wave as Aphelios does have a lot of AOE damage. Additionally, stand away from the Tower if you’re pushed under it as his AOE autos will hit you if you’re behind the tower. Aphelios is prone to crowd control and all-ins. If possible, try to lock him down as quickly as you can when trading to reduce his damage output. Aphelios is also super squishy and easy to kill, so he might even blow Flash when you try to engage.”

Amberdragon says “Most of Aphelios's skills need him to auto something, so you can counter a lot of him with your W and mobility. He is squishier and you have the upper hand in most close range fights. You just need to survive and avoid his Infernum (blue) and Calibrum (Green) poke.”

Ludazel says “Late game Aphelios is scary if you have to run into chakram turrets, AOE blue gun or if he catches you with his snare. You can outrange his 1v1 potential with his red/white guns.”

m1NEEX says “This might be actually easiest match up for Jinx, since he is also a lategame hypercarry as Jinx, but his range never goes above 650 (Only in Calibrum), so he is more likely to die in TF then you. He can't punish you early and gets outscaled. Also in 12.12 he has lowest WR from all ADCs, so he is in pretty bad shape rn. Be careful when he has Gravitum, since he can set up chain CC for his support to follow up(AA into root into CC from support)”

Kamicali says “Each of Aphelios' weapons have different weaknesses, try to exploit the ones that work best for your champion. Watch out for the purple Gravity gun, it can root you. Don't fight him in waves when he has the red one up, and his flame thrower has the most threatening damage. When fighting him, keep your eyes open and stay aware so you can make sure to ult his ult.”

Xedavion says “Not a threat to Varus whatsoever,even if he is good you outscale him late game,be careful of his lvl 2 powerspike because if he has an engage support like Nautilus Or Leona he can easily kill you,since he has the most range out of any adc you have to play carefully until lvl 6.”
0
Amberdragon says “You are both really squishy. You can kill him fast or run him down. However it highly depends on his weapons too - beware of purple because it slows and CCs, red and white give him sustain and a shit ton of damage when combined, plus give him an upper hand in close combat to fight him from max range and kite.”

SrBroccoli says “Has no mobility, but lots of poke like Caitlyn, so it becomes an even fight.
Try to survive until level 6 and you can solo him. If you feed he will just snowball the lead.”
0
Dravenhalal says “Only time he's scary is if he has the purple gun as he can stun you and then his supp can get in your face and start talking about "our lord and saviour jesus christ". The red gun + white can be pretty scary since he has a lot of damage and heal. If he has any other gun though just tell him about our prophet and leader Muhammad and one shot him. Exhaust is good here.”

Kitqsune says “free lane. you can block his entire ult, rifle q, etc. You should be completely fine. Don't fight him close range when he has chakram/severum combo. THIS IS SKILL DEPENDENT which is why its in tiny. If they're bad the lane is free.”

If you fight him with a good setup, you can make him fall easily, but always be aware of his weapons. The matchup really depend on how well you know Aphelios and Zeri to be honest.”

Lulu Mushroom Teas says “Just Ban: ¡PERMA-BAN!
This champion is a ridiculously complete Marskman; Aphelios has got everything that Lulu BOT doesn't have.
He has occasional great Range with both good burst Damage and CC, besides lots of scaling Damage, complicated weapons' versatility, ludicrous and powerful Wave-Clearing, difficult and dangerous to to gap-close especially if well-protected...... There's just nothing to do (that I know as of yet). So ban if you want to play Lulu BOT —unless you know something I don't.”

DeadlyS27 says “He has similar range as you and a lot of sustain if he builds shieldbow.”

Krilep says “Aphelios has a weak early game and only one of his weapons are long range. Try to fight when his weapons have low ammo. Q poke him down as much as you can just remember he has a weapon that gives him some lifesteal so try to wait till 6 since you'll have your ULT to keep distance once he gets stronger.”

Valhalla Coach says “You match his range in lane and can trade with him early game, just don't all-in when he has red-white. Usually you'll win on extended trades and all-ins while he wins on short trades but support matchup is what dictates this lane until lvl6. You can match his scaling quite well and even if you are behind you can try to snipe him with ult and he will probably burn a spell everytime or he buys QSS”

Sellsword says “Aphelios starts much stronger than you in lane with his Caitlyn-esque range and it doesn't get better when after that he gets his root gun, which makes him have very potent all-ins, or the Severum-Chakram (Red-White guns) combo which makes him impossible to fight. He's not impossible to beat, but outscales you damage wise, so you should try to use your waveclear and ultimate to your advantage as much as you can, because he is very immobile. Also make sure to fight him when he has a bad gun combination, however that would be rare if the Aphelios is good.”

Tawiyah says “Not that bad of a matchup. Mostly support engage rate will decide matchup. ”

Nom212 says “It depends on his current weapon combination. Sometimes he out-ranges you with sniper turrets. Sometimes he has to get close with red-white combination. Dangerous but if you have the damage to threaten him he won't be able to mindlessly all-in you. Track his weapons and be wary of what he can and can't do.”

Alvatorz says “Not a big problem, he needs setup and MF don't really, you'll get an easy prio of lane, don't be affraid of poking him.”

Amberdragon says “Aphelios is very squishy so you can burst him earlier in the game unless support matchup is unvaforable to you, but he will build Immortal Shieldbow eventually and the matchup will be harder for you. He can harass you from range, and when you come closer he has great sustain in most cases. Beware his chakram (white weapon), his poke with Calibrum (sniper/green weapon), his Gravitum (purple) root if he has an engage support. Severum (red) will give him sustain.
Most Aphelios players aren't good in low elo so it will be easier to deal with them, but a good Aphelios can put up a fight with you and bully you from range.”

Stella_Umbra says “You can harass him early game but he will grow in strength the longer the game goes.”

IKeepItTaco says “◉ Aphelios is an immobile scaling ADC with the ability to output some of the highest amounts of damage, but at the cost of being somewhat short ranged and timing dependent!
◉ Aphelios will depend heavily on this gun combos which will determine what he’s allowed to do. The guns to look out for in-lane is [[Gravitum, the Gravity Cannon]] since he’ll use that to catch and snare you as an immobile ADC which can lead to you being engaged on. The other gun to look out for would be [[Crescendum, the Chakram]] as it’s the gun that gives him the most damage for 1v1s and 2v2s!
◉ Aphelios is very short ranged in-general no matter what gun combo he has so be sure to abuse your rockets with [[Fishbones, the Rocket Launcher]] as much as possible.
◉ A good way to look at Aphelios is if he has “strong” or “weak” guns combos. When he has a weak gun combo, that is when you want to strike and all-in.
◉ Weak Gun Combos: Severum, the Scythe Pistol + Calibrum, the Sniper Rifle, Calibrum, the Sniper Rifle + Gravitum, the Gravity Cannon, Gravitum, the Gravity Cannon + Severum, the Scythe Pistol, Calibrum, the Sniper Rifle + Infernum, the Flamethrower, Crescendum, the Chakram + Gravitum, the Gravity Cannon is by far the WORST 2 gun combo for him. If you see him having any of these combinations then you'll be fine to win the all-in as long as he isn't fed.
◉ Strong Gun Combos: Crescendum, the Chakram + Severum, the Scythe Pistol, Crescendum, the Chakram + Infernum, the Flamethrower, Infernum, the Flamethrower + Gravitum, the Gravity Cannon, Infernum, the Flamethrower + Severum, the Scythe Pistol, Crescendum, the Chakram + Calibrum, the Sniper Rifle Try to avoid fighting against these combinations.
◉ Win Condition: You both scale very well, but since you have a big range advantage on Aphelios throughout the game all you have to do is abuse the range difference starting in the laning phase till the late game and you should have no problem come out on top whether it’s simple trading or winning 2v2s!

Breathly says “Aphelios will only counter you if he has an Enchanter support (Exmaple = Lulu, Nami, Yuumi) Or something that can poke you down.
If he has a champion like Thresh you can go more even with him, it is very dangerous to play the scaling game with him since he out scales you at 4 items.”

I Am Not u says “Enjoy getting poked to high hell and CC'd. Be careful of his flame thrower, sniper rifle, and cannon. All of that can poke you out of the lane easily.”
0
Amberdragon says “Aphelios has very flexible kit, he can either poke you or out-dps you in close combat. He's vulnerable early on, but if he gets ahead avoid him until you scale a bit. Avoid his White and Red weapons in close combat. Don't try anything funny when he has Purple weapon and an engage support because he can slow and root you. Green weapon is his poke/sniper. Blue is AoE.”

Vixylafoen says “You can simply bully him out of the game early, but if he can easily bully you back. It depends on his Support against you.”

FunkyBeagle says “Now, when Aphelios is meta, he's REALLLLY annoying for Kaisa as a champion. His starting weapons are Calibrum/Severum which basically sets him up to not lose a trade if he's genuinely a GOOD Aphelios player. He outranges you until he cycles his Calibrum sniper out. Once this weapon is gone, its a little bit more bearable. Watch out for his purple gun as well as this sets his support up for free damage/follow up cc! Also, DO NOT fight him when he has Severum/Crescendum gun combo, ITS EXTREMELY HIGH DPS. Only fight him when he has this weapon combination if you KNOW you win. Play safe in this lane and farm and let your support try to make plays. Kai'sa isnt a play maker in this one. One tip: You can fight him level one with an engage support as he doesnt have a level 1 ability and Kai'sa's level 1 is incredible!”

Urason says “This is very Aphelios favored but it's still skill dependent. If you get on top of Aphelios and he doesn't have Chakram, you'll do fine and kill him. The issue is he can destroy in lane with his range and he out scales you if you don't get a big lead.”

Coldsong says “Aphelios is easily the worst Samira matchup in my opinion. He outranges you, has more CC than you, and outscales you. A good Aphelios will never get close to you, and if he has Chakrams as one of his guns you can never engage on him. Just play safe and try to wait for him to get rid of his Chakrams if he has them. Also dodge his sniper Q at all costs since if he hits it and has Gravitum it is a free long ranged root. Save Blade Whirl for his ult, especially if he uses Infernum ult! Overall I would honestly just ban Aphelios.”

NikkiTT says “Tricky lane at first, don't fight red gun without grievs/ignite(buying Bramble is also fine here if behind), don't fight white gun if you're too even, especially not white/red, remember his purple is CC and don't allow that to stop you when going for all ins, easiest kill is on green/blue gun. This lane becomes rather easy with an engage support. Exhaust will surely make this matchup a bit easier, just harsher to fight into red weapon with no ignite sometimes.”

Amberdragon says “Most Aphelios players don't know the champion well enough to be a threat and overall Xayah does well against him especially in the early game. He outscales you but you are stronger in early levels, try to shut him down in the early game. Don't trade with him when he has both red and white guns, he hard wins these trades. Don't get poked in the early levels. Use your R to avoid his and get on top of him to easily kill him as he is squishy. If he gets strong things will get very ugly for you. If you are building lethality and he builds a shieldbow, then go serpent's fang to make sure he can't come back from a hellish early game.”

Simon Uchinora says “Aphelios has only one weapon it is equal to caitlyn range, is the Calibrum, knowing this every other weapon has less range than yours, two things are the Gravitum, has the power to stun you, and the Infernum has a great damage, but basicaly just wait for his waste the ammunition of this two weapons to go on.”

Melyn says “The hardest part of this matchup is just knowing what he does. He doesn't have dashes so you can still blow him up.
Green (Caitlyn): stay behind minions so he can't snipe you.
Red (lifesteal/ballerina): Short range, but when he twirls he can easily dodge since autoing doesn't root. Short range otherwise and can be punished (care all in)
Purple: be very careful about getting rooted, depending on enemy support
Flamethrower: Do NOT stand near minions and if you're team fighting, spread out from your teammates (ult can destroy clumps).
White: Stay far away if you can; he deals more DPS at close range. Don't all-in here unless you burst from far away.”

HyroPyro says “Aphelios has longer range than you level 1. His next swap combo allows him to push waves with high speed and also cc Kai'Sa. He has high kill pressure with the Crescendum (White gun) pairings, but can be abused and out damaged hard during his weak cycles with the appropriate supports.”

im_zeno says “Not a hard lane. You can wind wall his ult and every other gun besides the red one. Be careful with his Calibrum (his first gun) respect the attack range of that weapon.”
0
snowcard says “I still don't understand this champion so I'm debating whether to put him in even or major. He's in the same place as Kalista, pray he isn't good. You can block many of his abilities, but personally it's hard because I can't even tell when he's casting it.
What you can block:
Calibrum - The missile. For the followup damage, you have to E BEFORE he casts it.
Severum - I don't reccomend blocking this ability because you only block the one damage when he casts it.
Gravitum - E right when he "slams" down, which is the animation for the root.
Infernum - You can block the off-hand weapon damage, but again you'll have to predict the cast.
Crescendum - I'm not really sure but I know you can block part of the damage from the chakrums.
You can block his ult entirely (which is huge).

banewastaken says “High range with Calibrum but once he loses it it's a decent matchup. Still has the red white combo, so watch out for that.”

Elresser says “When using his Red and white gun he can be a little problematic, but you can still match his engage even in the early game”

Lucifer6 says “With Aphelios you just need to be aware of what weapons he has since his rifle does out range you but if you can get around that and you know what his weapons does it wont be hard and it should be quite even, most of the time the decider comes down to who messes up first.”

Tiilisk1v1 says “He has only one gun with longer range than you (calibrum). When he doesn't have it you van play pretty aggressive playstyle. Dont try close-range fights after lv6 because he will out dps you then.”

banewastaken says “He can bully you lvl 1 with calibrum, but that's about it. Depends on how ahead you are, you can even win versus his Red-White combo.”

Trieuloo says “This is one of the matchups I thought would be turbo easy, however with shieldblow + red gun it is pretty hard to kill. You definitely need to watch out for this matchup when he has red grey. Otherwise he is just a free kill. ”

MiningRicK says “The Enemy must be a very good Aphelios to destroy you because the champ is very difficult to play and he has a very low playrate. As well in the moment he isn´t a that good ADC.”

IM NOT TOXIC says “Aphelios isn't very strong this season, however he still has great range with his rifle as well as CC. ”

Sett Abuser says “Similar range to Caitlyn, sometimes can be larger depends on his choice of weapon. Gravitum is the deadliest weapon for you because it has hard crowd control, this will put your W to a very long cooldown.”

Depends heavily on his guns. It's easier to just outscale him than fight him early.”

DoublefeedOP says “Aphelios is a pretty bad champion at the moment and even worse in Season 11 as crit items aren't very good at the moment. ”
0
DoublefeedOP says “Aphelios is inherently weak early game so you shouldn't have much trouble against him, just don't give him your W - E and then you get rooted with his Blue / Purple gun into an all in by his support.”
0
DoublefeedOP says “He doesn't have much kill pressure over you, just scale and beat him later.”
0
DoublefeedOP says “As of Season 11, they nerfed crit items so Aphelios is in a pretty bad spot. He's practically a worse version of Jhin that scales harder in the late game. He'll build Galeforce just like you but takes too long to go online that you should be able to easily stomp lane.”

DoublefeedOP says “Aphelios should be a very easy kill level 3 as he doesn't really have much when it comes to CC.”

APC Ziggs says “Same as twitch, super bad early, and (with the exception of calibrum) pretty short range. Easy to poke and to engage on with the added bonus of not having a dash.”

CheeselordMax says “depends on the skill level of the aphelios and their knowledge/usage of his gun combos.”
0
KoZee says “Aphelios has been nerfed a ton, and isn't as big as a threat as he used to be. A lot of countering him is knowing what he can do with his combos. With Calibrum he outranges you and can poke you down. Gravitum he has a strong engage, and Infernum makes him deal a ton of AOE Damage. Don't let him get near you with Crescendum, as that's his highest DPS possible if he has stacked chakrams. Severum will let him kite and heal a bunch, but overall doesn't deal too much.”

TheGronne says “I actually found Aphelios to be quite hard to deal with. This is because he can play it ultra safe until he has his Chakrams, and when he has his Chakrams, you can't really fight him. Samira wants to get into the face of her opponent, yet Chakram excels against melee foes.”
0
majororange77 says “Read Guide for full matchup.
Depends heavily on the support, but all of his guns have strengths.”
0
kingamazin says “The threat level of Aphelios changes depending on what gun combination he currently has. At level 1, he barely outranges you with Calibrum. This means that it is possible to auto trade with him. Aphelios level 1 is probably the weakest in the game as he has no ability so use that to get priority in lane by pushing with rockets. When Aphelios has Gravitum, be careful of his all in potential since he can root you for his support to follow up with more cc. When he has Infernum, try to position yourself away from your minion wave to avoid getting hit by the splash damage from his auto attacks.”
0
Bluestrat says “Aphelios has a strong 1v1 power once he has the following weapon combinations:
Green/White or Red/White.
The advantage for us is that once we are stronger and have our Q-Evolve, we can almost always push Aphelios in and fight him.
However, if you don't have an advantage, it's hard for Kai'sa to stand up to Aphelios. ”

Trampedach says “Hard to dive in against this champion especially if he has Crescendum or Gravitum. He will instantly shred your hp with Crescendum or CC and slow you with gravitum so you can't escape. ”

YoonaBoona says “Aphelios excels in a lot of the same areas that Jinx does in lane. Having similar range and much more damage, Apehlios can be tricky to trade with. Stay a fair distance away and focus on securing CS and keeping your HP bar high.”
0
Bluestrat says “Aphelios hat eine starke 1v1 Power, sobald er folgende Kombinationen hat:
Grün/Weiß oder Rot/Weiß.
Vorteil für uns ist, dass wenn wir einmal stärker sind und unser Q-Evolve haben, wir Aphelios fast immer reinpushen und bekämpfen können.
Hat man jedoch keinen Vorteil, ist es schwer für Kai'sa gegen Aphelios zu bestehen. ”

TheGronne says “Can be quite problematic if he has Calibrum or Chakram”

ctm20141 says “Treat him as a weaker Caitlyn when he has his Calibrum. You can't contest his push when he has Calibrum available. DO NOT ENGAGE HIM WHEN HE HAS CRESCENDUM (the chakrams) OR YOU/YOUR SUPPORT WILL DIE IF YOU DON'T INSTA BURST HIM!. There isn't much to say... play around his weapons: Severum gives lifesteal and dueling potential (you can cancel Severum's Q with a CC), Calibrum gives range and nothing else, Infernum gives waveclear, Gravitum gives slows and roots and Crescendum gives a sort of an assassin's damage. You can engage (all in) him when he has Calibrum, Gravitum, Infernum and Severum (only if you or your support saves 1 CC for his Q). I REPEAT, DO NOT ALL IN HIM WHEN HE HAS CRESCENDUM UNLESS YOU INSTA BURST HIM!
You outscale him in 1v1s (unless he has Crescendum and you can't Condemn him), but in late game teamfights he should be a bit stronger.
ABUSE HIS LACK OF MOBILITY!”

Compliant says “Aphelios is not suited to contest early-game in laning phase. This will allow you to easily farm through the laning phase and compete with him in teamfighting as the strongest single DPS ADC.”

EvoNinja7 says “Aphelios Is a very complicated champion to play against, because at one point he could be really low, but then he shoots his ult at you and suddenly gains full health and starts attacking you at insane speeds.

Akariine says “Watch out for when he has Calibrum or Infernum on his main hand.

xKARx says “Pretty hard lane. Outranges you and scales better. The way to play this lane is to take short trades rather than all ins as your ult is better for initiating or finishing off fights. Do not all in unless you have an extremely aggressive support or it is a 3v2 (in your favour).”

Cam1304 says “Just take care for his bust damage and you should be fine to farm under turret.”

Mephiix Unleashed says “Skill based matchup, avoid fighting him when his White/red weapon combination is up, you can outtrade him as soon as his range weapon is out (green one). Aphelios has a decent lane, is strong in mid game and super strong in late game, he has 1 weakness tho and that is lack of mobility. If you can catch him with your snare, follow up with your ultimate and he should be in a rly bad spot”
0
ShroudedBRH says “Aphelio's is not much of a threat early game which is where you can gain advantages. Avoid standing behind targets when he has infernum and don't all in when he has chakrams. Late game try to lock him down with your ult early in a team fight if possible.”

StriveHD79 says “Aphelios has caitlyns range early with the green gun so play the lane similar to when you play against caitlyn, focus on scaling and farming like most matchups and you will be fun. Throughout the game it should be quite even in terms of damage output, as long as you have same items.
Purple gun is a slow and root.
Red gun is lifesteal.
White gun is crazy attack speed.
Blue gun does 110% AOE damage.”
