Aphelios's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

The Hitman and the Seer (P)

Aphelios wields 5 Lunari Weapons made by his sister Alune. He has access to two at a time: one main-hand and one off-hand. Each weapon has a unique Basic Attack and Ability. Attacks and abilities consume a weapon's ammo. When out of ammo, Aphelios discards the weapon and Alune summons the next of the 5.

Playing as Jhin

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Trade with your 4th shot

    Save your 4th shot to trade: Whisper (passive) always makes it a critical strike with bonus damage, and each crit gives you move speed.

  2. Fire W at a target already hit

    Fire Deadly Flourish (W) right after you or an ally hit the target: they're then rooted, and you gain move speed.

  3. Trap the brush

    Place Captive Audience (E) in brush and along your escape path: the trap is invisible, slows the enemy who steps on it, then explodes.

  4. Save your 4th shot to finish

    Save the 4th shot of Curtain Call (R) to finish someone off: each bullet slows and hits harder on a wounded target, and the 4th is a critical strike.

Playing against Aphelios

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Watch out for his cannon

    Back off when he holds Gravitum and has slowed you: Weapon Abilities (Q) with the cannon roots every enemy that weapon has slowed.

  2. Punish his lack of mobility

    If you can engage, go for him when his support drifts away: his kit has no dash, and only Severum makes him run faster.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies when he has Moonlight Vigil (R): the blast explodes on the first champion hit, damages those nearby, then he attacks each of them.

  4. Get away from his sentry

    When he deploys the Crescendum sentry with Weapon Abilities (Q), leave its area: it attacks you with his off-hand weapon.
