Aphelios is a unique marksman who wields five different weapons, with two available at any time. He starts each game with Calibrum (green) and Severum (red), switching between them using W. Each weapon has 50 ammunition, with basic attacks consuming one and abilities consuming 10.

Weapons Overview:

  1. Calibrum (Green) - Sniper Rifle
  • Extends attack range by 100 units
  • Marks targets hit by abilities, enabling 1800-range follow-up attacks
  • Q: Fires long-range shot dealing physical damage
  1. Severum (Red) - Pistol
  • Provides lifesteal, converting excess healing to shields
  • Attacks ignore Yasuo's Wind Wall
  • Q: Grants movement speed and rapid alternating attacks
  1. Gravitum (Purple) - Cannon
  • Applies 30% slow that decays to 10%
  • Q: Roots slowed targets for 1 second
  1. Infernum (Blue) - Flamethrower
  • Deals splash damage in cone behind targets
  • Q: Fires damage cone followed by off-hand weapon attacks
  1. Crescendum (White) - Chakram
  • Throws boomerang that must return before next attack
  • Q: Deploys turret that attacks with off-hand weapon

Ultimate - Moonlight Vigil:

  • Fires moon bomb that explodes on champion hit
  • Effect varies based on main weapon:
    • Green: Applies enhanced marks
    • Red: Heals Aphelios
    • Purple: Applies 99% slow
    • Blue: Deals AoE damage
    • White: Generates chakrams

Skill Priority:

  • Level Q first (Attack Damage)
  • Then E (Lethality)
  • W last (Attack Speed)

Key Strategy: Focus on weapon management and combining their effects effectively. Understanding weapon rotations and timing is crucial for success.

For optimal performance, prioritize AD and Lethality over Attack Speed in your build path, as Aphelios gains natural attack speed through leveling.
