Hi guys and welcome to my Aphelios guide! Before you read what a cringey emo girl wrote in this guide, I've never wrote anything like this before so I'm learning and I thought I'll point some stuff out first.

1. I'm not amazing explaining and I have troubles doing so (I'm trying my hardest I swear)

2. I'm not saying YOU NEED TO BUILD THIS TO GET TO CHALLENGER AND IF YOU DONT BUILD THIS I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!! ( If I do hunt you down you'll probably mistake me me for a garden gnome)

3. This isn't my main champ. My main champ is Kayn. Please take my guide with a pinch of salt.

Abilities

Items

Aphelios - The weapon of the faithful.
The ranged "marksman" that can do everything

Synergy: Beautiful OwO

Outplay potential: Amazing

Speciality: Confusing your enemies... and maybe yourself

What does he do? He's an emo lunari warrior who shoots things

BANG! BANG! (　-_･) ︻デ═一 ▸

Pros and Cons

PROS

+ Extremely high damage.

+ Fun to play

+ Has CC, sustain, AoE, long range and a baby turret thanks to his moonstone weapons

+ Great duelist.

+ Great champion to one trick.

+ Is a emo.

Aphelios is very fun to play and he is insanely strong while fed. He works the best with supports like Leona, Soraka and Sona; which are all very popular right now

CONS

- Hard to play.

- Not all weapons work together.

- Squish squish.

- No mobility.

- High banrate.

- Extremely weak to crowd control.

Any fed assassin: //points at 0/5 Aphelios// it's a free real estate.

He has probably the worst level 1 in the game due to him not having his abilities.

Summoner Spells

FLASH

Your only escape due to you being immobile. Everyone would be using this spell, if you don't take this spell your extremely easy to gank and kill.

HEAL

Adcs need this to survive but you can take if your support takes heal instead. Perfect for 2v2

Runes

PRESS THE ATTACK

The most popular keystone and works the him. It also give you a damage boost and works well with his 5 weapons. After this you then and last . Second Inspiration with so you don't need to worry about by boots so you can focus on core items. After that so you can stay in lane longer. You can switch to sorcery and pick and .

CONQUEROR

Perfect for those teamfights with loads of tanks. Then pick because you would probably would exceed your max health then would make this into a shield. Last two slots go too and last . Then sorcery using and for the bonus damage. If you want, you can choose and .

hasn't got a space yet (/;w;)/

Core items

INFINITY EDGE

Every Adc's best friend (not . You'll but this item first or . You get damage and critical strike early so you can kill enemies and takes objectives quicker.

RUNAAN'S HURRICANE

With this item, you can increase the effect from you main hand weapon. So you can slow more targets with or heal more with and more waveclear using. You gain attack speed and critical strike and little bit of movement speed.

STORMRAZOR

Your auto attacks slow the target so yeah...more kills! Attack damage and speed with critical are the core stats for marksmen/adc's.

ESSENCE REAVER

You can buy this first instead of . You gain attack damage, critical strike and some cooldown reduction, and a passive that allows your auto attacks give back 1.5% of you mana so you can spam your abilites more.

BOOT OPTIONS

You would mainly be using most of the time but there are situations were you could switch to if its a heavy ad team.

Other items

Why would I make two item chapters instead of one? It got extremely long (wait hold on-) and it looked like it would finish in two million years. So there.

LIFE STEAL OPTIONS

-Your auto attacks can over heal you... works amazing with and your shield becomes massive and a load of healing. You also gain loads of attack damage!!

MAGIC RESISTANCE OPTIONS

- //gently put hand on //this bad boy can make mains cry!
If you dont know which is a high chance you probably did know, this item can save you from it's also great for playing vs mages with lots of crowd control e.g.

- Magic damage tank destroyer such as and .

ARMOUR PENETRATION

- Perfect for killing tanks such as ,,.

- This puts grievous wounds on your target, so take that , or any healer in this game is countered by this item beacuse it reduces healing giving to a target

- Since you scale with ap and ad.

LIFE SAVERS

-This is your only option... it's basicly life insurance... you resurrect when you die BUT it has a high cooldown.

-You gain a shield when below 20% health. You also gain movement speed after a basic attack.

Weapons and abilites

The hitman and the seer (passive)

→ You dont need to upgrade abilites

→ You max Attack damage, Attack speed and Armour penetration

→ Probably most useful things to increase per level

→ Would be better if could increase Critical strike :/

Aphelios has 5 Lunari Weapons made by his twin sister, Alune (hi sisters!). He can only have two at a time; one main-hand and one off-hand. Each weapon has a unique auto attack and Q. Attacks and abilities consume a weapon's ammo. When out of ammo, The weapon disappeares (poof!) and Alune summons the next of the 5.

You start with and . Then , and finaly . One Basic attack costs 1 moonlight/ammo and 1 Q costs 10 moonlight/ammo.

is your sniper rifle (duh). It is the third best weapon (in my opinion anyway). It works with the absolute terrible rune.

- You fire a shot from which marks and reveals the first enemy hit. Your next basic attack on the marked champion has extra range (but unlimmited).

-Heals
-Slows
-Cone attack (larger if it critical strikes)
-Creates a spectral chakram

Calibrum

→ +100 attack range

→ Can easily use and

→ Can poke because of your range

→ -Works well with all weapons

Severum

→ Lifesteal works amazing with weapon

→ Basic attacks heals you 8-25 health (depending on level)

→ Works extremly well with

→ - Works well with Infernum, Crescendum. Not so much for Calibrum and Gravitum

Your lifesteal that doesn't cost gold so... YOS LIFE STEAL! This weapon is extremly handy vs champs like . If your attacks exceed your health you gain a shield and The rune (sorry if that didn't make any sense I'm tired =_=)

- Aphelios gains attack and movement speed for 1.75 seconds. Your basic attacks with this buff change between and your off hand weapon.

-Marks all enemies hit
-Slows
-Cone attack (larger if it critical strikes)
-Creates a spectral chakram

Your auto attacks mark your target and slow. Perfect for stopping enemies getting away so you can kill them. In my terrible opinion, this is the least best weapon because it makes your off hand weapon useless. The auto attacks are satisfying though.

-All your enemies affected with get rooted for 1 second

Gravitum

→ Don't need to worry about your offhamd weapon

→ Slows targets for 3.5s

→ is this weapon's partner in crime

Infernum

→ Your auto attacks are a AOE (larger if it's critical strikes)

→ Works great with all weapons

→ Over all, the best weapon :')

The auto attacks with this weapon are unique because it starts as a firebolt while traveling then then explodes turning into 4 firebolts in a cone attack. Perfect for wave clear, poke in lane and in team fights

-An attack in a a cone during the cast time your unable to attack. It give the affect of your off hand weapon.

-Marks
-Heals
[[gravitum]-Affect gravitum mark s
-Creates spectral chakram

Your last weapon in the rotation. Your auto attacks are like boomerangs. You cant auto attack after it's been thrown. The closer you get the quicker it returns. If you attack critical strikes it returns quicker

TinyToria: //looks out window and sees Jojo Siwa screaming the lyrics to her song 'boomerang' outside// Shes to happy. TAKE HER DOWN!

If this weapon is on the off hand the weapon on your main hands ability spawns a spectral chakras. These can be used along with Crescendrum to increase the damage done for your basic attacks. You can have only 20 ghost chakras out at once and go away if leaving combat.

- Creates a copy of your off hand weapon and it attacks it's nearest target and gives the effect of your weapon in the off hand. This ability scales with attack speed and critical strike :0.

Ok, I would put the effects here but just go read above.

Crescendum

→ Can creates baby turrets

→ Auto attacks work like a BOOMARANG (Jojp Siwa'a massive forehead identifies)

→ Works well with all weapons

Phase and Moonlight vigil

→ You switch weapons //jazz hands//

→ Moonlight vigil is your ultimate! Finishing move! //green screen explosion//

-ITS NOT PHASE MOM. You press W and that it.

- Your finishing move! Main hand weapon effect all enemies hit

-Marks all enemies hit
-Heals Aphelios for 200/300/400 Heals depending on level
-Affects enemies with a 99% increased slow (yikes!)
-A firebolt but it's a circle instead of a cone and creates 1-5 circle depending of the amount of enemies hit
-Makes 3 spectral chakras depending the amount of enemies hit

Conclusion

Thank you for reading this guide. I hope you do epic gamer moments during your climb to where ever your trying to get to. I've just realised this guide is my three brain cells trying to communicate.

You: This guide didn't help. Go back under your desk and never come back into human civilisation ever again.

TinyToria: //slides under desk// I shall now update my Kayn guide

You: pls no T^T
