Introduction
Hello guys! Its misterfirstblood from EUW and today i wanna show you how I play Aphelios and give you an introduction and basic guide for this champ and how you should play Aphelios.
Be aware, he might be one of the most complex champions of all time since he carries 5 weapons with 5 different abilities and basic attacks with him.
Be aware, he might be one of the most complex champions of all time since he carries 5 weapons with 5 different abilities and basic attacks with him.
Pros & Cons
+ A huge variety of abilities that can come in handy more or less
+ CC, AoE, Lifesteal, Waveclear all build in to his kit
+ Very strong if you master him
- Nerfed pretty hard on the current patch, low winrate and a super complex design aren't a good combination for beginers to enjoy playing Aphelios
- A bit RNG on which weapons you have and which ones you need currently
- Super hard to master
- Good Opponents can play around your current weapons and since you have to use some Ammo to receive Lasthits they can punish you pretty hard
- No mobility tool

Abilities
Instead of explaining the abilities we rather explain the different weapons of Aphelios in that case, since he has no E Ability, his W is basically a weapon swap and his ult and Q highly depend on which weapons he is carrying with him.
I just copy paste the ability descriptions here because it would be way to much text and my english grammar might be too bad to explain everything as in depth as the database text describes it.
Passive: The Hitman and the Seer
Innate: Aphelios has access to an arsenal of 5 Moonstone Weapons, created by his sister Alune. He equips two weapons at any one time, one as his main weapon and one as his off-hand. Each weapon has a unique basic attack and passive effect.
Aphelios begins the game with Calibrum Calibrum as his main weapon and Severum Severum in his off-hand, with Gravitum Gravitum, Infernum Infernum, and Crescendum Crescendum queued in reserve. The queue order can be rearranged based on weapon usage.
Innate - Moonlight: Weapons spawn with 50 Moonlight for ammunition, which is consumed on basic attacks Pix, Faerie Companion on-attack or to cast his abilities abilities. Abilities that cause Aphelios to attack do not cost additional Moonlight on top of their ability cost. Once his main weapon is exhausted of Moonlight, it is moved to the end of the queue and Aphelios assembles his next available weapon over 1 second to equip it from his reserve, with its Q. ability being placed on a 1.5-second Cooldown cooldown before that time. Aphelios cannot cast Phase Phase during the assembly.
Innate - Weapon Master: Aphelios cannot improve his abilities with skill points. He starts the game with Phase Phase and gains access to abilities abilities at level 2 and Moonlight Vigil Moonlight Vigil at level 6, with the latter improving automatically at levels 11 and 16. Instead, Aphelios may spend his skill points to gain Attack damage bonus attack damage, Attack speed bonus attack speed or Armor penetration lethality.
Q:
The active effect of Aphelios' Q varies based on his current main weapon.
The individual actives do not share a cooldown.
W: Calibrum, the Sniper Rifle
Aphelios gains Range icon 100 bonus attack range while Calibrum is his main weapon. Enemies damaged by Calibrum via an ability are marked for 4.5 seconds, Reveal icon revealing them for the duration. Aphelios' next basic attack against a marked target uses the current off-hand weapon and has Range icon 1800 range, bonus missile speed, and a brief cast time that lasts shorter based on Aphelios' proximity to the target.
This attack will consume the marks from all targets, dealing 15 (+ 20% bonus AD) bonus physical damage to the main target for each mark consumed. If Calibrum is the current off-hand weapon, the empowered attack uses the main weapon instead.

Aphelios accumulates the Chakrams he catches, up to 20, which last for 5 seconds or until Crescendum is out of Moonlight. Attacks against Champion icon champions will refresh the lifespan on Chakrams.
Basic attacks with Crescendum are empowered to deal 0% − 138.5% (based on number of Chakrams) AD bonus physical damage and have a 10.67% wind up percentage, decreased to 6.67% when Critical strike icon critically striking. The bonus damage from Chakrams can critically strike.

Skill Order
Since you dont really skill your abilities, rather stats you can decide between (Attack damage, attack speed, or lethality) you want to maximize Attack damage (Q) first, Lethality (E) second, and Attack speed (W) very last.
Theres not much to say about that.
Theres not much to say about that.
Items
Once again you can choose between good and very good items and there are lots of viable item builds you can go for.
Kraken Slayer and The Collector are the best 1 item-powerspike item that also scale well with all other items you buy afterwards. Beside that, you really want to have atleast Infinity Edge and Runaan's Hurricane in your item build since IE is the best damage boosting item and Hurricane allows you to spread your different weapons abilities to multiple enemies at the same time.
Lord Dominik's Regards Bloodthirster Statikk Shiv and Yun Tal Wildarrows are all great items aswell.

Runes
I figured out that Aphelios is one of the champs Press the Attack works pretty well with. Especially with your Severum it is triggered in no time and dealing tons of damage to a single opponent.
You might require tons of sustain while laning so its good to have Absorb Life and Legend: Bloodline. I think its the best rune to have in that slot on the current patch, but if you need more attack speed feel free to pick alacrity.
Cut Down adds some more damage while Coup de Grace would be a viable option aswell.
Sorcery as your second tree grants you devestating lategame damage by offering Gathering Storm and Absolute Focus.

Tips & Tricks
There is so much to talk about Aphelios but it pretty much comes always down to the fact that you have to play him a lot to understand his different interactions between various weapons.
But i give you some of the most basic Tips i can think of in the moment:
- If you use Severum, you dont shoot projectiles so you can attack Yasuo through his wind wall
- Always keep in mind what secondary weapon you are using so you can benefit from using your Q ability for example to lifesteal or land a Root on your opponent, even if your Gravitum Ammo is almost empty
- If you spend 49 Ammo and only have 1 left, you can still use your ability that needs 10 Ammo to use, so you basically used 59 if you play it correctly and want to make the most use out of it.
- The Crescendum Active can be used in Brushes to grant vision.
- You can use your Q with your current weapon, swap to another weapon and use Q again. If both of your weapons are just at 10 or less Ammo, you get 2 new weapons and can use 5 Abilities in a row + your ultimate, which is a deadly amount of burst damage and CC effects.
- At level 18 you get 33 Lethality for free, which other AD Carries normally wouldnt. You can ignore a lot of your opponents squishys armor stats with aphelios what really makes him shine in lategame.

Summary
Thats it for now. If i really wanted to go in depth here this would result in walls of text that noone could really understand.
Keep practising Aphelios and you soon will understand the rotations and interactions between his weapons better and better!
