I think it will be important to learn all his weapons and how to maximize their abilities while trying to minimize their downsides. That will probably be where a great deal of effort is put into masterin ghim. Keeping the perfect weapon on hand as his sub-weapon sounds like a good idea but we don't know enough about his kit to say it is viable. SOme of his Q's use his subweapon, and at this time we don't know if those interactions cost ammo on his sub-weapon or if the main weapon's ammo is spent only. He has a potential problem of being a swissarmy knife, he does a lot of things but at how well does he do those things has an impact. I expect to see a lot of different builds on him especially since he is supposed to be able to put some of his levels in bonus stats so he will probably be capable of stacking really good stats. Also there is also sub-optimal weapons such as Gravitum which would normally be useful against either starting an engage or getting out of an engage becomes sub-optimal against champions with cleansing effects or high tenacity. Every weapon has a counter to it and so both Aphelios and his enemy will have to keep track of that. Depending on weapons available he will have both power spikes and power drops depending on what weapon he has vs what his opponent is capable of countering. So he will often have to alternate between playing strong and aggressive when he has power advantage by weapon type but switch to safer when he has a weapon with a disadvantage.
