Aphelios wields 5 Lunari weapons made by his sister Alune. He has access to twoa t a time: one main-hand and one off-hand. Each weapon has a unique attack and ability (Q ability). Attacks and abilities consume a weapon's ammo. When a gun is out of ammo, Aphelios discards the weapon and Alune summons the next one.

Aphelios unlocks his weapon's ability (Q ability) at level 2 and his ultimate at level 6. Instead of powering up his abilities, Aphelios rank-ups grant him permanent stats, allowing him to choose between 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 attack damage, 9 / 18 / 27 / 36 / 45 / 54% attack speed or 5.5 / 11 / 16.5 / 22 / 27.5 / 33 lethality.

Lunari Weapon Order:
- Calibrum (Rifle): Long range attacks.
- Severum (Scythe pistol): Life steal and movement speed.
- Gravitum (Cannon): Slowing + immobilizing effects.
- Infernum (Flamethrower): Area of effect damage.
- Crescendum (Chakram): High damage at close range.
