So, a challenging matchup for a beginner Aphelios. Avoid extended trades with him, try to deal as much damage as possible without giving him the opportunity to retaliate.
Braum
Proboably the best support you can have, his passive easily proc by red q + shield makes every mathcup easy to win honestly.

Champion Build Guide
First of all
Since I hit Grandmaster, I decided to update my guide. Right now, the best way to play Aphelios — the one that allowed me to consistently 1v9 and maintain a 65%+ win rate — is with Ghost. Even though not having Barrier can sometimes be annoying, Ghost is so insanely strong on this champion that I just can’t justify not taking it. The way it lets you avoid ganks, teamfight, and trade in lane makes it feel like the only summoner spell you really need.
The second thing is the build you want to play. Currently, my favorite is Hexoptic + Infinity Edge. Hexoptic is a very cheap item, which lets you snowball really fast. A popular build among OTPs is Hexoptic > Mortal Reminder > Infinity Edge, mainly because Mortal Reminder is much cheaper than LDR, and unless you specifically need LDR’s passive, it performs just as well.
Another build path I picked up from KC Caliste is Stormrazor > Collector > IE. It’s also pretty interesting and I’ve tested it a lot. The downside is that Stormrazor has a pretty awkward build path — if you don’t get a BF Sword recall, just go Collector first item instead. The second downside is the high cost before you fully scale, but once you hit 3 items, the build feels incredibly satisfying.
With the first build, if I need to hard carry and 1v9, I always go Collector as my 4th item to reach 100% crit and maximize my damage output.
Honestly, when you play properly around Ghost cooldowns, you don’t need Barrier or Shieldbow at all.

Champ select and first minute of the game
Where to begin? Probably a smart move would be to determine how you want to play Aphelios during champion select. Considering the enemy team, you should decide which spells and runes to take. I've already described situations on which spells and runes to take; I encourage you to read the notes. Establishing the matchup will give you a rough outline of what to do to dominate the game. The initial minutes of the game are crucial; remember that. Here are a few principles you should follow: NEVER stand under the tower at level one, either cover the entrance from tribush to jungle or follow invade – don't go AFK, don't alt-tab, gather information from the game. The second rule: NEVER, in your life, leash. Every jungler can easily do a solo clear; the first thing is that you unnecessarily give information to the enemy team about where your jungler is, and the third thing is that you are late to the opposite bot lane, which already controls the entire wave and lane. Never leash; don't worry that your jungler will start to be mad– you will win many more games by playing the lane better than relying on the jungler.
Rotation
Okay, now it's time for total enemy domination. Let's start with the rotation; if you're not aware of it yet, quickly get rid of Severum (red weapon) first, then Calibrum (green) > Gravitum (purple) > Infernum (blue). You should now have red and Crescendum (white). Now, use the red weapon again as the first one and go in the following order: Red > White > Green > Purple > Blue.
Laning phase
Now, onto the laning phase. You're familiar with the principles that you use the red weapon first, so you farm minions with it. The same weapon provides you with sustain in the form of lifesteal. Use the green weapon for poking opponents. When playing with PTA, which you almost always do,Proc PTA with red q and than green auto is the best poking potential in early game.
Whether you'll secure kills in the early levels largely depends on your support. Follow their engage, but if you see it doesn't make sense and both of you will die, leave them. Don't get baited; you need to rely on intuition and good decision-making. Keep an eye on your ammo; you can even make a combo using four different skills if you time the Q on the final ammo, which is potent in laning phase. For a quick push, use a combination of blue and purple weapons – start with the blue Q, then the purple one. Just don't get into rush with the blue weapon; remember that you should get rid of the purple one first.

CHAKRAMS
What makes Aphelios mockingly referred to as "200 years" by many players is precisely the chakrams. They represent his biggest power spike, providing enormous damage combined with a massive attack speed. All weapons are good for chakrams except the purple one; never allow a situation where you have both the white and purple weapons simultaneously. Now, a few words about chakrams. You can obtain them in four ways: Blue Q, which gives you one chakram for each hit enemy, including minions. Red Q, which grants you 4 chakrams if you hit anyone throughout its duration. Green Q and the turret with the green weapon, which, from each proc of the sniper rifle, give you one chakram. And finally, Aphelios' ultimate used with the white weapon, which will give you 6 CHAKRAMS for each hit enemy.
If you've done it correctly, you should have at least 8 chakrams. If you're at level 6, enhance yourself with the ultimate, but remember that it's not necessary because your chakrams already deal sufficient damage, and the red ultimate is sometimes more useful in fights.

THE STRONGEST THING ABOUT APHELIOS
While many believe that the red and white weapons make the best combo, unfortunately, they are mistaken. Aphelios's strongest combo is the white + green, specifically with turrets. Turrets allow you to proc auto-attacks from a range of 1000. The process itself provides additional damage plus 1 chakram. Usually, enemies don't focus on the turrets, and one turret can provide at least 5 chakrams. This combo allows you to attack from a very long range, minimizing the chances of being all-inned by the enemy team. Here's a short VOD of the potential of the white and green weapons.

Summary
First and foremost, experience. Only that will make you a true god of Aphelios. This champion requires immense skill to manage ammo, rotate combos, choose the right runes, and handle chakrams. Remember that every matchup is winnable and depends on you. You won't win every game, of course, but try to play your best in lane, even in the toughest matchups like with a Shaco support...

I dont think its huge difference but when u use centry and proc it from green wheapon instead of white animation seems to be a little faster.
