[@markturner5000]

My only two things I wanna add is that with gravitum the 99% slow lasts I believe 1 second. Wait that 1 second to gal close a little bit then use your grav Q. Also with the Calibrum 10 ammo you can ult first AA, then Q then AA. It’ll take a little longer to complete the combo but if you can land the shots it’s very nice

Bro i think if you really want to learn Aphe well you must start with the basics and understand his abilities. They are rather simple but i would recommend you take a first hand experience and try him out a lot in normals or coop whichever youre comfortable with. Thats how i learnt atleast, only after i understood his kit was I able to make sense of these guide videos, to give me a cleaner idea on him. I may be late to comment but all the best

I got aphilios in an aram and thought "wow I'm doing something wrong". Thanks to your guide, I now know, no one has ever played this champ "correctly", he's overcomplicated garbage, and people that seem good on him truly have no idea what they're doing. He's kinda like ganglank, in the sense that maybe, MAYBE, 3 people that play league actually know how to use him optimally. And even those people would choose a simpler champ so they don't have to play 4 games at the same time when they could just pick Tristana.

[@justdave1842]

Just wondering for any aphel players, I heard the "new" gun order a lot of pros are using is red - green - white - purple - blue. How does this differentiate in playstyle to the recommended white - red - green - purple - blue? I know white purple is a tragic pairing, but I tried it in a couple games and I ended up using white's ammo so fast I was 1 q or so away from blue most of the time

[@n3meless790]

what green gun r u talking about?

[@bisk0357]

it‘s to have green and white as a first „duo“ which marks the enemys if you land you white q and then you can auto them aswell for a poke. If you get rid of white then you will have the order that you said which is key to playing aphelios. you just have to get rid of the oldest gun afterwards to maintain the combos

[@douwemusic]

Red+Blue means red Q offhand hits deal more damage (and red Q gives MS), Blue Q on multiple targets heals a lot. I think pro players like having Blue+Purple, Red+Blue and Green+White together because those are the strongest in teamfights. White purple is shit but red+white is very hard to use in pro play and you use Green+White to put down turrets which will empty White very fast anyway, so you're at Purple+Blue pretty quickly. Red+Green is meh so I guess you try to get rid of as much Red as possible before getting Green, and you miss out on Green+Purple catch.

It actually is... I don't understand why it's not build anymore Imagine if there are 3 enemies close to each other U q with calibrum and trigger auto If u have gravitum 3 gravutum projectiles will launch cz of runnans Thats 3 roots from very far away without ulting

[@noggenfogger1324]

@@yasithbimalka5381 I tried it, compared to the mobafire builds and yes, it can be game changing but your damage kinda flops with it. I guess league 2021 is all about burst dmg instead of dps

[@jacobparrekar8721]

It is great as long as your fed. I typically consider it as a 4th or 5th situation item only. If im behind i would try my best to maximize my damage first. And if there is high teamfight needed late game then it can be a really powerful item as well.

[@douwemusic]

...If the enemy team has a lot of melees and you notice you could consistently hit multiple enemies, and only if you don't need Collector/BT/PD/GA/LDR (which are all REALLY good items on Aph). It's one of the very few crit items that doesn't give AD, and AD scales hard with crit (and your abilities). Also, Kraken isn't as popular on Aphelios anymore so the AS doesn't help as much (same for Lethal Tempo or Conqueror stacking).

why lethality against non tank champs? is it flat armor pen> wouldnt that counter tank champs who build armor and be bad against those who do(squishy targets)?

[@adamnesbitt11]

Against tanks who stack armour, percentage penetration is more effective. Let's say we have 30 lethality: A 60 armour squishy loses half their armour, great! A 170 armour tank only goes down to 140. Whereas with 30% pen instead the 170 armour tank goes down to 119! The more armour an enemy has, the less benefits you get from lethality, and the more beneficial percentage penetration becomes.

[@precioussponge52]

Why wouldn’t you want lethality if they build armor. Isn’t lethality armor penetration?

[@douwemusic]

Yes but it's flat armor penetration. If the enemy has 200 armor, 30% armor pen (from LDR etc.) reduces armor to 140, 30 Lethality would only reduce it to 170. The bigger the armor number, the more effective %armor pen becomes.
