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 Yunara

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her prayer bead

    Dodge Arc of Judgment (W): the bead slows you, then damages you every second, and it reaches 1150.

  2. Short trades

    Take short trades: each Yunara auto charges Cultivation of Spirit (Q), which then gives her attack speed and bonus damage.

  3. Engage outside her Transcendent State

    If you can engage, go in while Transcend One's Self (R) is on cooldown: outside her Transcendent State, she has no dash, only the speed of Kanmei's Steps (E).

  4. Spread out while her Q is active

    When Cultivation of Spirit (Q) is active, spread out from your allies: her autos then spread to nearby enemies.
