How to win lane as Aphelios against Sivir · 52.52% win rate over 3,237 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sivir | Sivir's Boomerang Blade out-ranges your auto at level 1 and pushes you off the wave. |
| Level 2 | Sivir | Ricochet and her Q keep poking you at level 2 while you lack a second gun to answer. |
| Level 3 | Sivir | At level 3 her wave control and mana-fueled poke still dictate the lane. |
| Levels 4-5 | Aphelios | By levels 4-5 your gun pair and Severum sustain flip the trade in your favor. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even since your Moonlight Vigil and her On The Hunt/Spell Shield roughly cancel. |
| First item | Aphelios | Your completed first item and gun AoE out-DPS her with no repeatable poke to stop you. |
| Two+ items | Aphelios | With two-plus items your Infernum splash and off-hand chip out-teamfight her stationary profile. |
Levels 1-3 favor Sivir: her Boomerang Blade (Q) out-ranges your basic auto and Ricochet (W) bounces off the wave to chunk you, so you last-hit carefully behind minions with Severum up and avoid standing in the caster line where her Q lands full damage. Do not force trades before you hold a second gun, and track her mana since her poke pattern drains it fast.
