How to win lane as Seraphine against Aphelios · 57.52% win rate over 2,100 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Seraphine | You out-poke a locked, immobile Aphelios at level 1 with Passive autos. |
| Level 2 | Seraphine | Your level 2 spell adds range and a slow he can't match yet. |
| Level 3 | Seraphine | Level 3 gives you Q, W and E to fully kit-poke before his guns rotate. |
| Levels 4-5 | Seraphine | Through levels 4-5 he still lacks items so your poke keeps him pinned. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 his gun-based scaling matches your Encore spike, making it even. |
| First item | Aphelios | One completed item turns his Calibrum/Infernum range against your minion-hugging. |
| Two+ items | Aphelios | With multiple items his five-gun crit DPS out-duels you outright. |
You own levels 1-4. Aphelios has no early mobility and is locked to whatever two guns he loaded, so punish his last-hits with Passive-empowered autos and Q. Keep E up to root-chain any step-up and you can bully him off the wave.
