How to win lane as Ashe against Aphelios · 53.83% win rate over 8,047 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ashe | You out-trade Aphelios at level 1 because Frost Shot slows him on every auto. |
| Level 2 | Ashe | Level 2 Volley gives you a poke tool he can't answer without a strong gun pair. |
| Level 3 | Ashe | At level 3 your permaslow shuts down his attempts to reposition guns for trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ashe | Through levels 4-5 you keep chipping him while his weapon pairs are on cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even-to-his because Moonlight Vigil is a real burst window against your squishy R-reliant kit. |
| First item | Ashe | With a first item your slow-kite reasserts and you out-space his poge. |
| Two+ items | Ashe | Two items in, your teamfight slow-lock and R keep Aphelios out of his ideal rotation. |
Level 1-2 you dictate: Frost Shot's built-in slow means every auto shaves his movespeed, so trade whenever he steps up to last-hit and use Volley at 2 to win the poke war since Aphelios has no early escape.
