How to win lane as Twitch against Aphelios · 55.81% win rate over 3,517 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Twitch | You start even on stats but Aphelios has no escape and low defenses, so your stacked-poison trades win. |
| Level 2 | Twitch | W Venom Cask stacking into E gives you a burst pattern he can't match at 2. |
| Level 3 | Twitch | At 3 your poison-plus-detonate combo out-trades his gunless main-hand autos. |
| Levels 4-5 | Twitch | Levels 4-5 you keep chunking him on every CS step while his ammo swaps lock him. |
| Level 6 | Twitch | Your R Spray and Pray from stealth ends fights he has no ultimate to escape. |
| First item | Twitch | At one item Twitch's DPS spike outraces his in extended fights. |
| Two+ items | Twitch | Two items in, your line-piercing ult makes you the dominant bot carry. |
At level 1-2 you're both weak but you hold the trade edge: Aphelios has no escape and low defenses, so stack Deadly Venom with autos and back off before his lane partner CCs you. Don't over-extend past minions into a Calibrum poke pattern.
