Read from Miss Fortune's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Aphelios.
This is Miss Fortune's own plan; across 10,216 pooled games the lane is leaning Miss Fortune.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Miss Fortune | Level 1 is yours because Double Up out-ranges and out-damages his single-weapon auto poke. |
| Level 2 | Miss Fortune | Level 2 stays yours as Make It Rain zones his walk-ups while he still lacks any escape. |
| Level 3 | Miss Fortune | Level 3 favours you with the full Q-E-kite combo online against an immobile lane bully. |
| Levels 4-5 | Miss Fortune | Levels 4-5 are yours since your poke compounds and he can't punish back without a dash. |
| Level 6 | Miss Fortune | Level 6 is yours because Bullet Time hard-punishes his zero-mobility, squishy frame. |
| First item | Miss Fortune | First item is yours as your crit spike arrives before his weapon-stacking scaling. |
| Two+ items | Aphelios | 2+ items flips to Aphelios once full weapons and cleave out-DPS you in extended fights. |
Levels 1-2 favour you: Double Up out-ranges his auto-poke and bounces for bonus damage, and Aphelios has no early kill pressure without a dash. Contest the first waves and chip him whenever he steps up to last-hit. Alternate targets so Love Tap fires on every second attack, and let the bounce land on him off whichever minion is nearest. Strut only ramps out of combat, so take your poke in bursts and then step away entirely. Make It Rain covers the ground his support has to cross, so keep it for that rather than for the wave.
