Hope this guide clears up some of the misconceptions about the standard rotation being the strongest for Aphelios. This rotation can literally turn him into an entirely different champion.
Thank you so much for watching :)
Aphelios is the champ I play in League of Legends - Although my Aphelios plays may look weird and random, a lot of my plays can make for some insane aggressive outplays when using his weapons. I aim to just enjoy the game with Aphelios rotations, new League exploits/bugs, and make entertaining montages, highlights, and so on! If you want to learn Aphelios and how to play him in League, I leave guides and tips in my videos as often as I can, I also post a lot of Aphelios outplay highlights/montages if that's also something you are interested in. I appreciate all of you watching my content and stickin around, have a good rest of your day :)

"That's a lot, but, there's still more"
Aphelios mains: Good
On point 😂
SO TRUE BESTIE!!!
Love the guide! There are some really great benefits with this rotation, but we also lose some advantages. However, the detail that "Don't miss that this rotation falls off in the midgame" made me want to try this again. I really appreciate the video and can't wait to give this a try!
Can't wait for you to try this rotation. See you later
Cant wait for the
Yeah so fair
With that combo
Aphelios mains are basicly people who like hurting them selfs without dieing or consequences
Great guide! I played a lot of green-blue the past few months for testing purposes, inspired by some of your videos even. I also came to the conclusion that this rotation is likely just better in the early game but falls off later on, so ideally Aphelios players should be comfortable on both rotations.
One minor correction, you say at a certain distance you would need impossible attack speed to get the extra auto. I believe there is actually no attack speed that would get you the reset at too close distances. This is because blue Q locks you out of autoing for a specific time period; the extra auto relies on the lockout ending in time for you to issue an auto command, and on having enough attack speed for that command to go through before the green mark applies. Once you get to that maximum (minimum?) distance though, the Calibrum mark applies before the AA lockout ends, meaning attack speed stops helping and it just can’t be done.
A similar thing happens with the Calibrum Q auto reset. Attack speed helps you pull that off at closer and closer distances, but it can never be done from melee range because at a certain point the lockout from casting the ability causes it to land before it even allows you to input a command, meaning no amount of attack speed can help at that point.
It’s basically the same mechanic for both since they both rely on squeezing in an auto right before a Calibrum mark applies to auto reset with, but the higher lockout from blue Q means it’s a lot more distance-restricted, whereas the Calibrum Q reset works up to a lot closer, but both need a minimum amount of attack speed to even have your AA input go off before the Calibrum mark lands, and both need more AS to get it to work from closer distances up until the specific distance that each entirely stops working at.
Awesome! :)
And yes, your explanation pretty much nails it. Your description using animation lockouts conveys the point better than what I could come up with, definitely spot on. :)
As you explained, I kept telling myself "well yeah but you miss out on Blue-Red" but then you said to just switch to the original rotation mid to lategame, and I felt dumb because honestly that should be obvious, I think many aphelios players got too used to there.l being one "best" rotation that we miss out on that strength of the champ. Plus, it's super convenient to return to the original rotation, so I'm sold and will try it out!
Exactly!!! Just one quick question, do u know how do I make this transition of weapon rotations?
I believe it’s explained in the video
@gustavobernardi5541 when you get green blue, use green first. Then on blue purple, use purple first. Then just continue as before (always the oldest weapon first)
Incredible video, very informative and covers every doubt someone could have about what you are explaining, great job!
Man i dont even play Aphelios but the quality of these videos keep me going
Love this video! The power of Aphelios is that you have the ability to choose what guns you’ll need during a team fight. Pointing out the fact that you can swap gun rotations to fit early and late game power spikes at any point is just poetry in motion
I have waited so long for this, thanks Dan!!!
Ty for giving a lot of arguments, I love messing up the standard rotation to get infernum/calibrum from time to time, but I was never fully convinced by your reels.
This is a great guide, getting me back to playing Aphelios when I’m truly ready.
amazing guide. Thank you!
very interesting and i love how easily this rotations transitions into the standard one!
as an intermediate aphel player now, i wonder if there's any more rotations that are unique and can transition back into the standard one so you don't lose value in the late game
Just the guide I needed ty :DD
I love these kind of indepth videos. Great work!
Incredible guide, very well explained
God, now you can understand why Aphelios is not a simple champion with simple QWER
Ye, I love this champion
I don't think anyone thought he was.
@@katama_1 Nah, there are people who keep saying that this champ isn't that complicated, when they've only read what each weapon does yk
@@heartuu_ I mean the QWER not that he is simple. If anyone thinks he's QWER champ they haven't play Aph bc he doesn't even have a w... But I think aph was easier with galeforce now he's insanely harder without it. I only have 100k points on him so take my opinion with a pinch of salt. By far my favorite adc with ezreal and vayne being next up
@@katama_1 Kk now I understand what you're saying. I personally don't play Lol so I shouldn't even be talking but shh. Moonboy supremacy.
@@heartuu_ LOL based i Dont blame you tho. I stan aph even tho i dont play him alot XD so its okay
the amount of effort put into this video is just astounding!
love it and keep up the amazing work!
EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC!
zazzy
After I started watching your videos a while back I actually switched to this rotation and I saw a big improvement with my aphelios
Cool thought. Will definitely try that!
I always saw the pros doing this gun rotation in pro play and couldnt place my finger on why they did it. This explains everything, insanely good video. Liked and shared
Wow never though about actually swapping in the middle of the game. Kinda obvious now that i think about it lmao. Great guide!
great vid mate !
came here with a lot of scepticism, but you explained everything so well im gonna try using it from now on
i needed this fr
Finally! A proper aphelios guide for intermediate aphe players with some good high-end tips! Thanks man!
Something to add to the guide, you can ult when you are swapping to a new weapon during the animation. Meaning with red purple, there is the added benefit of purple q’ing someone with less than 10 ammo, then triggering the white gun weapon swap, and ukting during the weapon swap to get a (mostly) guaranteed white ult hit
Extremely approachable guide. I'm a top laner who is awful at ranged champions in general. I knew of strategies like this with aph but i could never use them myself. As someone who doesn't have the hands for adc this was very impressive stuff to learn and I'll remember it next time I'm walking down an adc with sunfire. ❤
I knew for a while that Blue-Green was better, but whenever I tried it in game, I found the damage was similar to green-purple so to have the root just seemed like the better option. Now that you've mentioned that you can squeeze in an extra auto and that it's only meant to be used in the early game, I feel inclined to try it again.
Also, red-purple abilities are actually really good together, but in my opinion the ults are bad, as red ult is only used when on low health and purple is almost never used because it sucks if you don't have gravitum ability (in my opinion). Kinda wish purple ult grounded or something idk.
I dont even play this champ but this is a hell of a vid guide i subscribe so fast lol
MAN as aphelios main with 1 MIL i still learned stuff in this video i appreciate the guide
I never played an probably will ever play aphelios but i really like this kind of passion that players put into the game it is beautiful
Great video, I do think the rotation is more common than u made it seem though. Been seeing it a lot past year in proplay/other high elo players
Really good vid 👌
thank u so much for this guide, i'm a beginner who wants to play aphelios and i had to stop like 5 times through the video and replay because brain doesn't function
Love the video quality mate! Can I just ask one thing..
How do u go from blue-green rotation to red-blue rotation like u said on the video? On late game
Gonna use this thanks
the prophecy has been fufilled… the guide has been posted.
Amazing video. What video editing apps are u using?
I use both combos based on game, I always felt purple green rotation was popular because adc's weren't primary carries in season 10, if we look at worlds stats for that year for adcs we have: lucian(tripple flex mid, top, adc) 94 games, ashe 70 games, senna 64 games, ezreal 58 games, jhin 56 games. adc's in these games were tools for more than damage so green purple made sense as a combo. I do believe green blue was super popular in korea though because guma used to run it most games since they are interchangeable, you would also see him empty white before red on some baron takes so he could seige with blue white turrets on baron waves and reset to level 1 ish gun roation which i always thought was super underutilised.
i remember picking up aphelios upon release but quickly found myself in over my head, it's quite funny he's more complex than hwei is, despite only having "two" abilities.
And then here I am just randomly dropping guns because I suck and the w didn't buffer correctly thus confusing the enemy team. A shoutout to your usage of crescendum gravitum to slow the bad guys. Although I must say that I usually end up with those two because I tend to spend my gun ammo attempting to poke and since gravitum's q is the only one you can't cast randomly, I usually end up with a nearly full gravitum when crescendum rolls around.
Sometimes the other guys think I'm playing some weird 5d chess but in reality I'm just a scrub. Eheh 8D
i started using red purple (but not blue purple yet, that happened after some pro player used it) because i ve been tired dying to bruisers and divers feeling that i dont have enough mobility, i even tried fleet + ghost + celerity + stormrazor. but one day i decided to change this stale rotation. red + white is cheese that can deal an insane amounts of damage just because of how autoing with crescendum works but you can't really squeeze it even in lane sometimes, not mentioning team fights. main dmg for phel after few items is calibrum sentry so you just need to keep that. and probably even that can't work sometimes (outrange). but why picking aphelios against assassins, artillery mages and high range adcs.
this video is insane bro, Im grandmaster in brazil and I agree with EVERYTHING u said. thats insane
wake up babe, daynean uploaded
I've mostly just been playing Aphelios in Arena (please bring it back and make it permanent, Riot), but I was curious if maybe the video had something that could help me out there. And honestly, this sounds amazing, and I'm surprised that I never thought of doing a rotation like this before.
Like, Severum-Gravitum in a mode where everyone and their mother is spamming tanks and fighters? That actually has the potential to be one of the strongest combos in the game, if I get lucky, and have it prepped against something like a Sett-Garen.
Calibrum-Infernum probably doesn't have as much of a potential, cus a lot of champions can often get stupidly tanky, and you do have the plants that can heal back your burst. But there's still a decent chunk of people that are playing squishier champs, and it's not like Cali-Grav or Inf-Sev would perform that much better overall, anyway.
So I'll definitely be attempting this, when the mode next rolls around.
Wish me luck! :)
i mainly go red blue "infernum" white blue " calibrum" then purple usually for late game and long distance with sustain fight
great video i need to do better ammo managment ngl :(
Guide is so much explained that I immediately forgor after watching it
You see, i like this, cause i have been seeing pro players use this order for about a year now, always got kind of confused, untill i tried it. Though i am noticing that the pro’s actually reverse your stuff. They start early with the standard rotation and go to this adjusted one later
I think it is a situational gun order, because you lose your blue white all in early, which is a common source of early leads.
There's any changes on the prefered runes options there? I mean, it's a bit personal, but when I'm running Aphelios I know I should change my runes every match, because everymatch would have a better weapon setup that work better, but I simply cant understand what to use (I'd also love a explain about why run each rune, recently I've seen some conquer aphelios but I alwais use boots)
Wow man! This is such a game changer. Green pink does seem quite week in the early mid game. The fact that you can use this new green blue to have a lot of damage early is so cool. I cant wait to try this out
pink?
@@rotate6638 I think they mean severum
Oh my fucking god he actually did it
what is your opinion on red>white>blue>green>purple?
i use it when early/mid game snowballing
Ngl, I was kinda skeptical about this combo because I didn't see a way how this would out DPS the old combo in the late game, but I love that you thought about that. Thank you; I now see it.
I have one question, though: Is it not just better to go for the combo in the second cycle? If you do, you can use the white-blue-into-red power spike, and you don't have to play with white-purple. If you follow the old first cycle and, in the second cycle, instead of going purple first, you go blue, you end up with the cycle talked about in this video.
The two reasons I can come up with that blue-green is at its strongest in that second cycle and/or that power spike is too predictable in high elo. I believe that this combo is at its strongest when you get Kraken. Am I wrong here? Is there another reason I'm not thinking about?
Please do let me know because I have been thinking about this since the first time I saw someone use this cycle. Thank you for the great video eitherway.
how do you chose runes for aphelios, does using that queue change anything on that regard?
Hum...ok hard but i see but do u think CDR in the build can be helpfull for make rotation faster because it is hard to be relevent in fight with purple-white and red-white (red white is good but in range match up hard to setup for me lol) ? Sry for my trash english.
Can you do your build and runes guide?
day do you do aphelios coaching?
Riot: Machine gun Caitlyn is too strong we need to nerf it!
Aphelios:
not playing this champ and watching this combo makes me feel like i just attended a lecture at MIT
I like your funny words, magic man
I naturally get this rotation when I forget the standard rotation midgame lmao
I love you dayneannn
Dude I love Aphelios
Finally someone talks about this
3:30 WHAT IS MY MAN COOKING
When did you choose flit over pta?
dude just explained to myself why and how i should be playing with this strats for so long but so wrong lmao
Me like: Stay on green+ white as much as possible while knowing other interactions and prefer blue green too lul ... simplified :D
only one thing I wanna know, and is when do I want to change the rotation? at what stage?
Is there a trick to hitting his r I swear I always am just barely missing it
i dont play aphelios that much. But i do like this rotation, because the colors sequence is more visually pleasing and hence easier to remember :) So i ll use this one. :)
Convinced!
When the guide about a VARTIATION of the passive is over 10 minutes long lol
Ive been using this rotation off and on for 3 yrs. Ive gotten 10/13 pentas with this rotation.
Always wondered why some koreans went this rotation, thanks
Imo green - purple - blue - white - red is the best rotation, but I'm too lazy to explain all the combinations😅
Me that never played this champion: Damn! Interesting, but i don't understand nothing hahahah
x2
Now make a build guide and then best skin tierlist with there chromas
Imo you forgot to mention the power of Green blue + PTA. It can pretty much 100 to 0 any adc in the game in seconds and one of if not the easiest solo kill you can get if they disrespect your dmg
Didnt mention it, but made a note about it when I talked about the KrakenSlayer interaction because it functions the same way basically
yeah. Also i think you can make a small mention about keystones in general imo. Aphelios is one of the few champions with a few very viable keystone choices @@daynean
Can we get a tldr 🙏🏻
I am not an aphelios player. I am not even an adc main! But now my head hurt
Guide: this rotation everyone uses is terrible
Me: you can change the rotation?
ah yes, the typical "Here is the number one most used rotation that every challenger Aphelios onetrick recommends. Here I am with my own unique rotation to tell you why all those people are wrong and why their rotation is BAD."
New video??? Sign me up
Why did I choose to learn aphelios, I understand everything and nothing 😁 love the guide though I'm just dum
I always say to my mother i might look stupid but i am not.
I think teh same can be said about you!
"vuluruble"
Wow
👍👍🔥
Now tell me how I can sell people on blue white
I don't play him wrong since I don't play him
Too much for my smool brain
CBA honestly, I just use whatever weapons in my rotation and it usually works
Least complicated Aphelios guide:
what the fuck does aphelios even do 😂😭
Okay fine I’ll go back to bot lane
I love aphelios and the concept of aphelios.. but its just a really really weak champion. Even top tier players just barely go along with this champ, and in order to fully carry you need about twice the farm as any other simplistic adc.
