How to beat Aphelios

Common role: ADC

A five-gun arsenal marksman with a different threat every fight.

What makes Aphelios dangerous

Aphelios cycles five weapons — sniper poke, a flamethrower, a lifesteal scythe, a rooting chakram pair and a slowing gravity gun — each with its own Q and an ultimate that empowers the current gun. Red-green (Crescendum-Infernum) windows melt entire teams.

How to play against Aphelios

• 1Read his guns (icons under his HP bar) — his threat changes entirely with them.
• 2Punish the weak windows: gravity/sniper phases have poor DPS up close.
• 3He has NO dash — any committed engage sticks.
• 4Dodge the chakram root (Gravitum Q) that chains his kill windows.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Zero mobility — the most gankable ADC alive.
• ✓Weapon cycle is readable and forces weak phases.
• ✓No escape summoner crutch can save a caught Aphelios.
• ✓Complex kit = mistakes under pressure.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Aphelios's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  传知者与真知者

  厄斐琉斯拥有5件由他妹妹拉露恩所制的皎月武器。他同一时间可以使用2件：1件主手武器和1件副手武器。每件武器都有1种独特的普攻方式和1个独特的技能。攻击和技能都会消耗该武器的弹药。在弹药耗尽后，厄斐琉斯会弃掉该武器，并且拉露恩会召唤下一件武器给厄斐琉斯。

  Strong: five weapons cycle endlessly — every fight offers a different kit. Weak: no control over the order — his weak phases are forced.

• Q
  武器技能

  厄斐琉斯拥有5个不同的主动技能，基于他的主手武器：通碧(步枪)：长距离射击，能够标记目标来跟进一次长距离攻击。断魄(短镰枪)：在快速奔跑的同时用两把武器攻击附近的敌人。坠明(加农炮)：禁锢被这把武器减速的所有敌人。荧焰(喷火器)：引爆锥形范围内的敌人并用你的副手武器攻击他们。折镜(飞轮刃)：部署一个装备着你副手武器的驻灵。

  Strong: each gun has its own Q — root, ambush turret, speed volley, poke, flame cone. Weak: learn the five icons — each Q telegraphs its gun.

• W
  月相轮转

  厄斐琉斯将主手武器和副手武器互换，同时替换他的普攻方式和主动技能。

  Strong: instant weapon swap doubles his combo options. Weak: swaps are pre-set pairs — mid-fight его опции всё же конечны.

• E
  武器队列系统

  厄斐琉斯没有E技能。这个技能栏位会显示拉露恩将为他提供的下一件武器。武器序列在开始时是固定的，但可以随着游戏时间来变更——在一件武器弹药耗尽后，就会进入序列的末端。

  Strong: no E — his power is packed into stats and guns. Weak: also no escape button whatsoever — engage means death for him.

• R
  清辉夜凝

  发射一道凝结的月光来引爆敌方英雄。还会施加厄斐琉斯主手武器的独特效果。

  Strong: a screen-wide empowered blast that upgrades the current gun's payoff. Weak: a straight dodgeable missile — strafe the flight.
