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 Sivir

Tips to maximize your impact

Hit going out and coming back
Position so Boomerang Blade (Q) hits on the way out and on the way back: it damages every enemy it passes through, but less after hitting a minion.
Ricochet right after an auto
Cast Ricochet (W) right after an auto: it resets your auto immediately, and the next ones bounce to nearby enemies.
Save your shield for their CC
Save Spell Shield (E) for the stun or root aimed at you: it blocks the next enemy ability, and heals and speeds you up if it blocks.
On The Hunt to engage or escape
Cast On The Hunt (R) to engage or escape as a group: nearby allies gain move speed, and your autos on champions reduce your cooldowns.

Playing against Aphelios

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

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.
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.
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.
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.
