- My reaction to Aphelios is up! I went into this one completely blind knowing hardly anything about the Lunari/Solari or Aphelios/Alune. Got totally surprised when we heard the voicelines were actually come from Alune herself too. The weapons she gives Aphelios are super cool too. Hope you all enjoy! :).

Very short info about start of the Solari and Lunari rivaly: Two Celestial Sisters didn't get along. The end
Lol thank you!
Since you reacted to Aphelios i guess it's time to react to Sett and his legendary Spirit Blossom skin!
especially his first interaction with aphelios :D
Not to mention that they leaned into it even with classic Sett in LoR.
Ohhh I know where you're going!
57:32 Aphelios cannot feel pain when he takes the nocturne flower thing, this is why Alune tells him heâs hurt because he cannot feel the wounds he has taken until the poison wears off
it's more that he always feels pain, so he can't tell
If the poison does wear off... maybe we can listen him speak?
Aphelios has such a damn good theme, and yeah hes tricky to pick up and master but so freaking cool to play when it clicks
Aphelios theme is one of my favorites cause like kindred it has 2 constants: The singer and the cello which would be Alune and Aphelios. It also has 5 major beat switches to mark the 5 weapons (not including the 1 fall where its just singer and cello).
29:14 that is called minor key in musical term where the key might sound "sinister"
It's not that some weapons are stronger or weaker in a vacuum; each of them is designed for a specific situation. For example, while Crescendum will obliterate someone in a 1v1, you don't want it in the lane because of its short range and weird attack speed. The sniper, on the other hand, is amazing for harassing in the lane, but it won't do you much good if someone gets in your face. Playing him properly is all about working with what you've got and anticipating what you're going to do with the next weapon you get. As a side note, yeah, themes with vocals are not very common, but Diana, the only other Lunari champion, also has them. She was even the first one, I believe.
i think diana was the first one ever to have lyrics, so having the next lunari champ so many years later have them too is significant
We do have answers about the conflict between Solari and Lunari, you should wait and react to Leona and Diana to find out as the lore is really cool!
Also, I'd heavily recommend reading the shared story they have, it's cute and has many explanations about their relationship and their perspectives on faith.
fun facts:
1. Zoe, before she became the Aspect of Twilight.
Was part of the Lunari religion which makes her thousands of years old.
2. The champion Leona represents the Aspect of The Sun and Diana represents the Aspect of The Moon.
3. Aphelios' weapons are focused through Alune, without Alune, Aphelios wouldn't be able to summon his weapons.
Aphelios lore and TL;DR version below in case you didn't understand the quotes
Aphelios and his twin sister Alune (the spirit-like woman behind Aphelios in the splash art) were born during a "rare lunar convergence, when the physical moon was eclipsed by its reflection in the spirit realm" Aphelios and Alune were seen as children of destiny to what remains of the Lunari faith. Aphelios and Alune had gifts, Aphelios represented the physical moon and Alune represented the spiritual side of the moon. The Lunari faith were the complete opposite of the Solari faith, the Solari worshipped the sun and felt safe in the light, where the Lunari worshiped the moon and felt safe in the darkness, Aphelios and Alune took this to such a degree though that they felt that the only thing that could keep them safe in the world was the darkness.
The Solari hated the Lunari and wish to kill all of them since they are seen as heretics, the Lunari used to be the dominant religion of Mount Targon but those times were thousands of years ago, the dominant religion started to switch over to the sun slowly over time though and eventually became dominant so the Lunari were forced into hiding keeping their religion a secret so they're not eliminated. Aphelios trained hard to protect those of his faith and so the Lunari sent Aphelios on missions because he was getting more skilled by the day.
Alune however trained as a Seer but her duties had her leave the temple where the two were raised.
Without Alune, Aphelios found himself losing faith.
Aphelios decided to partake in a ceremony where the Lunari found their "orbits" or their path in life where they had to "journey into darkness", Aphelios eventually got to a pool and saw bloomin Noctum flowers underwater. Noctum flowers are said to be a poisonous plant but they could be made into a liquid and whoever drank from it is said to gain the
"night's power." Aphelios drank the liquid and felt
"intense pain that numbed him to everything else."
Meanwhile in the Marus Omegnum which was an ancient temple in the Spirit Realm started to come into the Physical Realm for the first time in centuries. The Marus Omegnum would only let one person who was gifted in magic go into the temple, this person would be Alune. Aphelios, asked to see his sister one last time before going into the ancient temple. As the Marus Omegnum started to come into the Physical Realm, the armies of the Solari had come to end the Lunari once and for all. Just as everything seemed as if it was over, Alune went into the heart of the temple and she connected to Aphelios with her magic, and she used her magic to make weapons to replace his broken blades. The battle ended shortly with the combined force of Aphelios and Alune the attacking Solari would never see the light of the sun they worshipped again.
Alune pushed the Marus Omegnum back into the Spirit Realm in case Solari tried attacking again.
Alune was now alone inside the Marus Omegnum but through the power of the Noctum flower's liquid she could talk to Aphelios and see the Physical
Realm through his eyes. With the power of Aphelios and Alune combined the two could protect more of their faith easily. The other Lunari might not understand their connection through the Physical and Spirit Realms but together Aphelios and Alune are the weapon they need.
X
TL;DR: Aphelios and his sister Alune are born during a rare lunar convergence. Each of them represented one side of the moon, Spiritual and Physical. Solari want to kill Lunari. Aphelios drinks a liquid that helps him connect to the power of the night. Ancient temple comes back from the Spirit Realm and Alune is chosen because only one gifted in magic can go in once it reappears. Solari attack and Alune gets new powers that help her connect to Aphelios.
Solari all die and the two are now the greatest weapon of the Lunari.
Sorry if it seemed like this story wasn't told as well as the other ones, Aphelios' lore can be confusing to explain in a few parts but I put it as simple as I could. If you have any questions about things feel free to ask and I'II answer as best I can.
The thing what Alune is referencing is that pain is necesary to get in touch with ourselves because if you keep going without feeling pain or aknowledging the feeling itself then you will stay ignorant about your own shadows. Your own shadows are also the part of your psyche and without them you will not realize the total part of yourself and alas you won't be able to improve yourself as a person. Pain can also carry a bonding nature because by the existence of pain there is a need for something or someone. Pain is asking for a cure that can be a person but most importantly a connection that resolves it. It's actually something that makes both of them stronger together because one is always in physical pain while the other reflects on this with emotional pain. This pain that they feel through their seperation is what making them stronger and makes them realize their need for one another. So Alune's lines are making so much sense if you think about it in a psychological way.
Wow. Thanks for the comment and I think you're right. The pain from their separation is making them stronger and its what I say through out they they care so deeply for each other.
Now you have to look for Aphelios' new skin, the Heartsteel one!
Aphelios got a lot of hate on his release, which is unfortunate because him and alune are one of the coolest champions in league imo, plus the theme is just so unbelievably good
After people saw what crazy stuff he could do in the pro scene he got chalked up to being a â200 yearsâ champ and now riots afraid to touch him
Yeah it's a shame he's only known for he's gameplay he and alune have one of the best lores in the game and there is alot of potential for psychological and heartfelt writing for them they are one of the most tragic characters in the game and are one of the few siblings in league who deeply care for and need each other
Me @ start of video: "BEST THEME LETS GO"
Edit: Aphelios player here. He's a near constant presence in pro-play because the sheer amount of damage he can put out is absurd, when he's set up to do so safely. He's a hyper carry in the same category as Jinx, Varus, Kogmaw (champs that sit in the back and just pump out extreme amounts of DPS). The issue tho is that he's a conditional hyper carry who's specializes against short range comps because his biggest dmg comes from stacking a bunch of white-chakrams and criting ppl in melee range with 4x attack speed or something. He's comparatively very bad against long range poke because he's slow, and using his own long range tools takes much more skill and effort compared to just slapping people in the face.
He surprisingly not that difficult to 'play'. All backline marksmen have similar playstyles and needs of how to play them. He literally has 1 less button to press than other characters (no E). The difficulty comes from Aph being one of the only ones who needs significantly more foresight and planning to play well. As in the best Aphelios players are planning for a fight 2 minutes in advance by trying to empty out their gun rotation in the correct order to have the set up they want when a fight starts. Other characters don't really have to plan ahead like that, not to mention the paragraphs of text you need to read to understand what his abilities do. 'Playing' Aphelios is relatively simple. 'Playing him well' puts him at the high end of champ difficulty.
DAFUQ DID YOU SAY PEOPLE DIDN'T MENTION THIS THEME TO YOU? THE BEST THEME? Hold up now I need to go back and check each of your vids I left a comment on because I can't believe if no one else that I didn't.
Fun fact: One of Rioters said that Aphelios originally haved 24 weapons, each for 1 hour. For example gravitum would be at 1pm and severum could be at 5 pm. They changed plans and its good that its not in the game for balance.
About weapons in game:
In game Korean/Chinese pro players (Korea/China are the best regions, rest of them like Europe/North America sucks)always have calibrum (range weapon) bcs many adcs outrange him and have any other weapon. Albo they always try to have Low ammo on current weapons to use ability and changed them (Every ability weapon takes 10 ammo of 50) so they can use in 2 second use 4 abilitys. Right now hes out of meta but in first split (first half of the year) he was 1 of 2 meta picks on adc. He was pick or ban with Jinx but after changes in mid season he didnt find his way.
Another fan fact:
He was propably the most broken champ after release. So much that even he created the whole meme named "200 years". If u check this on youtube u will find many videos with that title and aphelios in video.
Diana is an older champ but her theme by far is one the most interesting
Yeeeiii i love aphelios
I love these videos âĪ
When you say "he's gotta have a downside" when looking at the champion spotlight, well... The downside is that he's pretty fcking INSANELY hard to play. He's not a champ you're just gonna pick up cuz you feel like it or you wanna try him out, if you pick him up you gotta be willing to straight up main him. On the contrary tho, if someone would be willing to invest time into him and Master him/main him, he's insanely good and can carry a whole match by himselfð
Huh? He's literally not that hard to play. For good weapon controll yes, you need knowledge, but for basic mechanics all you need to know what his weapons do, lol.
â@@Aaniel_al.Meara. you're right he's not hard to play poorly, but if you don't have good weapon control and knowledge on his combos down then you'll be worse than if you played another champ therefore meaning it's a difficult champ.
Aphelios is the biggest balance nightmare that riot has had since ryze, he even birthed the meme 200 years of collective game design experiwnce! The score esports has an amazing video on it!
Since you did Aphelios, maybe do a reaction to Leona and Diana? 've been waiting for them for a long time
As an Aphelios one trick, he is awesome to play, you are strong or weak depending on your weapons, and have to know when to make the move with the right weapons, also best weapon is white (Crescendum the Chakram) and the best combination for me is red + white (Severum the Sythe with Crescendum)
I hope you react to Seraphine, Renata Glasc or Syndra! They got some amazing themes and lore. Thanks for doing these, they are very enjoyable to watch âĪ
I've had a few comments for Renata Glasc so she is going to be soon I think. I wrote Seraphine and Syndra down though. Thank you for the suggestions!
As another comment said, his most powerful combo is Red/White. The order is White R > Red Q > White Autos which is the fastest way to stack his Chakrams, which do the highest DPS with Life Steal.
However, a good Aphelios player will 'schedule' his gun combos depending on each situation, and different combos will be optimal at different times.
i want to see the reaction to yummi :3 i love aphelios but im very bad at playing him but its super cool
Aphelios is one of the most played champion in pro play, he is not that good when you play alone but in sync in a team, he is one of the best
Riot unironicly claimed that they have 200 years of combined experience in champion designing which is Ironic considering how overtuned and overpowered were some champions at the time including Aphelios on release ... heres a short clip explaining the history of it th-cam.com/video/eO6uOZZ-mko/w-d-xo.html
If you want a nice ixtali champ look for milio heâs adorable and if anything happens to him Iâll fight everybody
I actually did a video back when he came out (I was also new to league lore at the time, so forgive me if I sound dumb in it!) th-cam.com/video/8diIy1By-_I/w-d-xo.html
I really recommend checking out the channel, Just another nobody when reacting to voicelines of the champions, he arranges the voicelines in a way that would make you understand the character more
Maybe react to Akshan? He have one of the funniest Voicelines in League of Legends xD
Why didnt watch LoR card trailer?
Dude it's been years and i still don't even know how that champ works tf
LoL? Im new to leauge, understood him after 3 hrs and hes bout to get my main, first champ
I suggest ashe next
She explaine the freljord tribes and cultures
Some notes about Apheliosâ gameplay: instead of by name, most players refer to his guns by colour/colour combination!
The go to advice for playing against him is âRed/White Donât Fightâ, because the kiting/stacking/healing from Severum and the sheer DPS from Crescendum are almost impossible to contest
He was one of the champions that inspired a meme in the league community referred to as â200 yearsâ where a dev said to a player that the collective 200 years of game design experienced shared by the team meant that they absolutely knew better than players in terms of balancing
Ever since then when a champion gets released Broken/Overloaded theyâre referred to as â200 yearsâ by the community, the specific combination of Aphelios using his Ultimate with Blue/Infernum/Flamethrower to oneshot entire teams with one button press is particularly iconic - someone made a great little music video showcasing some ridiculous 200 years stuff that iâll try and track down
