Playing as Aphelios

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Slow, then root with Gravitum

    With Gravitum as your main weapon, hit your target to slow them, then cast Weapon Abilities (Q): the cannon roots every enemy it has slowed.

  2. Pick your weapon before your R

    Switch to the right weapon with Phase (W) before Moonlight Vigil (R): you then attack each champion hit with your main weapon, and its effect applies.

  3. Plan your next weapon

    Before an objective, check Weapon Queue System (E): it shows the weapon Alune will give you next, and an empty weapon goes to the back of the queue.

Playing against Veigar

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay in the center of his cage

    If Event Horizon (E) lands around you, stay inside: only the edge stuns, and the cage disappears after 3 seconds.

  2. Dodge his Dark Matter

    Get out of the Dark Matter (W) zone as soon as the spell shows: it hurts a lot, but falls from the sky with a delay.

  3. Don't let him grow

    Dodge his spells and deny him kills: with Phenomenal Evil Power (passive), each spell that hits a champion and each takedown gives him power.

  4. Respect his level 6

    Once he hits level 6, don't stay in his range at low health: Primordial Burst (R) deals more damage based on your missing health, peaking below 33%.
