Abilities

Edit

Innate: Aphelios has access to an arsenal of 5 Moonstone Weapons, created by his sister Alune. He equips two weapons at any one time, one as his main weapon and one as his off-hand. Each weapon has a unique basic attack and passive effect.

Aphelios begins the game with Calibrum as his main weapon and Severum in his off-hand, with Gravitum, Infernum, and Crescendum queued in reserve. The queue order can be rearranged based on weapon usage.

Innate - Moonlight: Weapons spawn with 50 Moonlight for ammunition, which is consumed on basic attacks on-attack or to cast his abilities. Abilities that cause Aphelios to attack do not cost additional Moonlight on top of their ability cost. Once his main weapon is exhausted of Moonlight, it is moved to the end of the queue and Aphelios assembles his next available weapon over 1 second to equip it from his reserve, with its ability being placed on a 1.5-second cooldown before that time. Aphelios cannot cast Phase during the assembly.

Innate - Weapon Master: Aphelios cannot improve his abilities with skill points. He starts the game with Phase and gains access to abilities at level 2 and Moonlight Vigil at level 6, with the latter improving automatically at levels 11 and 16. Instead, Aphelios may spend his skill points to gain bonus attack damage, bonus attack speed or lethality.

Bonus Attack Damage:: 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30

Bonus Attack Speed:: 6 / 12 / 18 / 24 / 30 / 36%

Lethality:: 4.5 / 9 / 13.5 / 18 / 22.5 / 27

"This will be your voice."

The level up for the bonus attack damage, attack speed, and armor penetration have hotkeys Q, W, E, respectively.
- Assigning points does not follow the same rules as conventional point expenditure. The quickest you can get an individual statistic to rank-6 is by assigning points at 1 / 2 / 3 / 5 / 7 / 9.
An ammunition counter will appear to the right side of the screen at 10 or less Moonlight.
Abilities can still be used with less than the required amount of Moonlight, consuming all remaining Moonlight in the process.
Runaan's Hurricane does not consume additional Moonlight for his basic attacks.
The icon for this ability changes based on the active skin and functions as Alune's portrait, similarly to Aphelios' portrait.

Edit

The active effect of Aphelios' varies based on his current main weapon.

The individual actives do not share a cooldown.

No additional details.

One for All differences ^edit

Binding Eclipse expunges all enemies affected by Gravitum from any Aphelios.

Edit

Aphelios gains 100 bonus attack range while Calibrum is his main weapon. Enemies damaged by Calibrum via an ability are marked for 4.5 seconds, revealing them for the duration. Aphelios' next basic attack against a marked target uses the current off-hand weapon and has 1800 range, bonus missile speed, and a brief cast time that lasts shorter based on Aphelios' proximity to the target.

This attack will consume the marks from all targets, dealing 15 (+ 20% bonus AD) bonus physical damage to the main target for each mark consumed. If Calibrum is the current off-hand weapon, the empowered attack uses the main weapon instead.

"Calibrum."

Edit

Active: Aphelios fires a bolt of energy in the target direction that deals 60 − 160 (based on level) (+ 42% − 60% (based on level) bonus AD) (+ 100% AP) physical damage to the first enemy hit.

Notes

Crescendum's outgoing basic attack can bypass Yasuo's Wind Wall and Braum's Unbreakable but cannot while returning.
Triggered Marks apply on-hit effects, stack Energized and trigger Runaan's Hurricane, but no other on-attack effects.
The mark will not be triggered by Onslaught attacks.
The increased basic attack range is drawn for Aphelios to differentiate it from his normal attack range.
The empowered range for the mark will also be drawn as an indicator for Aphelios.
Runaan's Hurricane bolts will use Calibrum's projectiles for Aphelios's attacks with Calibrum.
If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the empowered attack's cast time, it will still fire despite the target being invalid.^(bug)

A blue circle outlining the range in which he may perform basic attacks.

This glowing indicator will align directly behind each *marked* target.

Notes

This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
Moonshot's name is modified based on Aphelios' off-hand weapon:

Edit

Basic attacks with Severum are non-projectile and have an uncancelable windup. Severum's attacks heal Aphelios for 2.5% − 9% (based on level) of the post-mitigation damage dealt, increased to 7.5% − 27% (based on level) for attacks from abilities.

Healing from Severum in excess of Aphelios' maximum health is converted into a shield for an amount of up to 10 − 140 (based on level) (+ 6% maximum health), lingering for up to 30 seconds.

"Severum."

Edit

Active: Aphelios enters an onslaught for 1.75 seconds, gaining 20% (+ 10% per 100 AP) bonus movement speed and autonomously performing up to 6 (+ 2 per 100% bonus attack speed) attacks over the duration against the nearest visible enemy, prioritizing enemy champions.

Attacks alternate between Severum and his current off-hand weapon, each dealing 25% on-hit damage and 10 − 40 (based on level) (+ 20% − 35% (based on level) bonus AD) physical damage, affected by critical strike modifiers.

Aphelios cannot cast Phase nor Moonlight Vigil during Onslaught, but he is still able to move. He cannot perform attacks while unable to declare basic attacks.

Notes

Runaan's Hurricane bolts will use Severum's attack animation instead of firing projectiles for Aphelios' attacks with Severum.

Notes

Onslaught goes on cooldown after the effect ends.
Severum's attacks are not intercepted, but the attacks from the off-hand weapon are during Onslaught.
Aphelios will also not perform the attacks while channeling Recall.
If Aphelios is taunted, he will still attack the nearest enemy.
During Onslaught, Aphelios' attack range is reduced「 to 410 」「 by 140 」and his attack commands instead issue movement commands to walk into the respective range of his target.
Onslaught's name is modified based on Aphelios' off-hand weapon:
Onslaught's attacks stack Energized, but do not apply any other on-attack effects.
Crescendum will not deal damage if blocked by Wind Wall, but the stacks will still be gained.
Cosmetically, the Moonlight cost is consumed through the duration.

Edit

Attacks with Gravitum slow enemies by 30% for 3.5 seconds, decaying to 10% after 0.7 seconds.

"Gravitum."

Edit

Gravitum - Active: Aphelios expunges all enemies with Gravitum's slow debuff, dealing 50 − 110 (based on level) (+ 26% − 35% (based on level) bonus AD) (+ 70% AP) magic damage and rooting them for 1 second.

Binding Eclipse also empowers in-flight Gravitum projectiles to instantly affect their targets upon hitting them.

Notes

Gravitum's debuff applies even if the target is immune to slows (via slow immunity or cc-immunity).
- The target will be affected after losing their immunity.
Runaan's Hurricane's bolts will use Gravitum's projectiles when Aphelios attacks with Gravitum.

Notes

No compensations are made if Binding Eclipse is used to empower in-flight Gravitum projectiles that are destroyed or parried, wasting the effect in the process.
Binding Eclipse cannot expunge enemies affected by Gravitum that are untargetable.
Binding Eclipse cannot be cast without a marked target.

One for All

Binding Eclipse expunges all enemies affected by Gravitum from any Aphelios.

Edit

Infernum shoots a firebolt at the target enemy unit, dealing physical damage to enemies it passes through. Upon reaching the primary target, the firebolt splits into a cone of 4 missiles behind it that deals physical damage to enemies hit. The firebolt deals 110% AD physical damage to the primary target and 82.5 / 110% (based on level) AD physical damage to secondary targets, reduced to 25.3 / 33% (based on level) AD physical damage against minions.

Critical strikes also apply to damage against secondary targets and spray 6 missiles in a 50% wider cone that deals critical damage.

"Infernum."

Edit

Active: Aphelios unleashes a wave of energy in a cone in the target direction, dealing 25 − 65 (based on level) (+ 56% − 80% (based on level) bonus AD) (+ 70% AP) physical damage to all enemies hit and locking on to each of them. After 0.25 seconds, Aphelios then fires a volley of attacks from his current off-hand weapon, dealing 100% AD physical damage and applying on-hit effects at 100% effectiveness to each locked-on enemy. The damage is affected by critical strike modifiers. There is no range limit for locked-on targets.

Notes

Infernum's attack hit can be dodged by or missed against the primary target.
- This will not prevent the missile from dealing damage to secondary targets nor from splashing against additional targets behind the primary target. The damage cannot be dodged as or missed against a secondary target.
Runaan's Hurricane bolts will use Infernum's projectiles when Aphelios attacks with Infernum.
- The bolts' attacks shoot 3 missiles, increased to 5 missiles when they critically strike.

Notes

The volley applies area damage and the follow up attacks from the off-hand weapon deal basic damage.
This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the start of the cast time.
The hitbox also includes a very small portion behind Aphelios's character model.
Duskwave's name is modified based on Aphelios' off-hand weapon:
Aphelios is locked out of declaring attacks until the volley of attacks have been resolved.
The automatic attacks do not trigger any on-attack effects.
- Pix does not increase the damage of the volley.
The volley of attacks won't deal any damage, if they are dodged, blocked, or if Aphelios is blinded.

Edit

Basic attacks with Crescendum hurl the blade at the target, which lingers for 0.25 seconds before homing back to Aphelios. He is unable to declare basic attacks until he retrieves Crescendum, but the attack timer is reset once caught.

Whenever Aphelios casts an ability that would require him to throw Crescendum, he instead throws a spectral Chakram at the target that similarly returns to him. Aphelios accumulates the Chakrams he catches, up to 20, which last for 5 seconds or until Crescendum is out of Moonlight. Attacks against champions will refresh the lifespan on Chakrams.

Basic attacks with Crescendum are empowered to deal 0% − 160% (based on number of Chakrams) AD bonus physical damage and have a 10.67% wind up percentage, decreased to 6.67% when critically striking. The bonus damage from Chakrams can critically strike.

"Crescendum."

Edit

Active: Aphelios deploys an untargetable lunar sentry at the target location that arms after 0.35 seconds, lasting for up to 20 seconds and granting sight of its surroundings. The sentry attacks if an enemy gets in range, reducing its duration to 4 seconds and becoming targetable. Sentries have 6 health and take 3 damage per ranged basic attack and 4 damage per hit by abilities. Turret attacks kill sentries instantly.

The sentry autonomously attacks the nearest visible enemy in range with a clone of Aphelios current off-hand weapon at 0.8 attack speed, dealing 31 − 100 (based on level) (+ 40% − 60% (based on level) bonus AD) (+ 50% AP) physical damage. The sentry can critically strike and benefits from Aphelios' attack speed and critical strike chance.

See Pets for more details about the sentry. Sentry will cast at max range if cast beyond that.

Notes

Accumulated Chakrams accompany Crescendum whenever Aphelios performs a basic attack. This is merely a visual representation of the increased damage, and the separate blades are not considered separate damage sources nor projectiles.
All Chakram stacks are lost if the Crescendum projectile is destroyed (i.e Wind Wall, Unbreakable).
At high attack speeds Crescendum will lower Aphelios' total attack speed, even when right next to his target.

Notes

Sentry's name is modified based on Aphelios' off-hand weapon:
- Precision Sentry
- Resurgent Sentry
  - Heals Aphelios for any damage it deals.
  - Attacks cannot be intercepted by Wind Wall and Unbreakable.
- Binding Sentry
- Incendiary Sentry
The Sentry will stop upon colliding with Wind Wall. It will be deployed in front of the wall.
The Sentry's attacks can be dodged and blocked, but not missed from being blinded.

Edit

Active: Aphelios switches between his main weapon and off-hand weapon over 0.25 seconds.

Switching does not interrupt any commands Aphelios was issued before or during Phase.

Edit

The icon of this ability reflects the next weapon that is in reserve.

Active: Aphelios receives a text prompt of the weapon Alune will create next.

Edit

Active: Aphelios casts forth a lunar spotlight in the target direction that briefly grants sight of the area along its path and stops upon illuminating an enemy champion. Alune smites the area centered on the illuminated target, dealing 125 / 175 / 225 (based on level) (+ 20% bonus AD) (+ 100% AP) physical damage to enemy champions struck and locking-on to each target hit, as well as granting sight of the area for 2 seconds.

After 0.3 seconds of the illumination, attacks will begin raining from the sky based on Aphelios' current main weapon, dealing 100% AD physical damage and applying on-hit effects at 100% effectiveness upon each target locked-on by Moonlight Vigil. These attacks can critically strike for (20% + 35%) AD bonus physical damage. There is no range limit for locked-on targets.

Calibrum: Applies an empowered mark that deals 50 / 80 / 110 (based on level) bonus physical damage per mark.

Severum: If at least one enemy champion is hit, Aphelios heals for 250 / 350 / 450 (based on level).

Gravitum: The initial slow is increased to 99% and Binding Eclipse will root for 1.35 seconds instead.

Infernum: The initial blast deals 50 / 100 / 150 (based on level) (+ 25% bonus AD) bonus physical damage. Attacks splash in a 400 unit circle instead of a cone, dealing「 90% of that damage. 」「 45 / 90 / 135 (based on level) (+ 22.5% bonus AD) physical damage. 」Enemy champions will take damage from overlapping areas.

Crescendum: 5 additional spectral chakrams return to Aphelios from the first enemy champion hit, for a total of 6, on top of those from other enemies hit.

"I am with you!"

The basic attacks always count as projectiles unless Severum is being used. The lunar beam, however, may always be intercepted regardless of which weapon is in play as the main weapon.
Spell shield blocks the Moonlight Vigil's initial detonation damage but does not prevent the attacks from locking-on.
The basic attacks from Moonlight Vigil critically strike independently from each other. Targets further away from the center of the blast are hit after a slightly longer delay. These attacks do not apply on-attack effects.
Changing weapons while Moonlight Vigil is in flight does not change the effect it has when it hits.
This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the start of the cast time.
Moonlight Vigil's effect radius is centered around the location of the missile as it collides.
With Calibrum, the extra damage from consuming the mark is a bonus damage on top of Calibrum's normal mark consumption damage.
With Infernum, 14 fire bolts splash from each target hit (18 for critical strikes). This does not occur if the initial damage of Moonlight Vigil kills the target.
With Infernum,the splash attacks damage is also modified by Infernum attack secondary target damage amplifier, which means it only deals 70.125% (=82.5%*85%) of attack damage to secondary targets before level 9.
With Crescendum, 1 spectral chakram is gained for every target hit by the blast, meaning it is possible to gain up to 10 spectral chakrams with one use of Moonlight Vigil if it hits 5 enemy champions.
With Severum, the extra flat heal is given only once, not per target. However, all damage done by Moonlight Vigil with it also heals him from Severum's own passive effect.
The locked-on attacks' can be dodged and blocked, but won't be prevented if Aphelios is blinded.
- Preventing the attack also prevents the additional effect (e.g. marking them with Gravitum or granting spectral chakrams).
Moonlight Vigil has different visual effects changed accordingly to each weapon. This may vary depending on the skin, this showcases the default:

Emerging from moonlight’s shadow with weapons drawn, Aphelios kills the enemies of his faith in brooding silence—speaking only through the certainty of his aim, and the firing of each gun. Though fueled by a poison that renders him mute, he is guided by his sister Alune in her distant temple sanctuary from where she pushes an arsenal of moonstone weapons into his hands. For as long as the moon shines overhead, Aphelios will never be alone.

V9.24 - Added

The Hitman and the Seer (Innate)
- Innate: Aphelios has access to an arsenal of 5 Moonstone Weapons, created by his sister Alune. He equips two weapons at any one time, one as his main weapon and one as his off-hand. Each weapon has a unique basic attack and passive effect.
- Aphelios begins the game with Calibrum as his main weapon and Severum in his off-hand, with Gravitum, Infernum, and Crescendum queued in reserve. The queue order can be rearranged based on weapon usage.
- Moonlight: Weapons spawn with 50 Moonlight for ammunition, which is consumed on basic attacks or to cast his abilities. Abilities that cause Aphelios to attack do not cost additional Moonlight on top of their ability cost. Once his main weapon is exhausted of Moonlight, it is moved to the end of the queue and Aphelios equips the next available weapon from his reserve.
- Weapon Master: Aphelios cannot improve his abilities with skill points. He starts the game with Phase and gains access to abilities at level 2. He gains access to Moonlight Vigil at level 6, which improves automatically at levels 11 and 16. Instead, Aphelios may spend his skill points to gain bonus attack damage, bonus attack speed or armor penetration.
  - Bonus Attack Damage: 4 / 8 / 12 / 16 / 20 / 24.
  - Bonus Attack Speed: 6 / 12 / 18 / 24 / 30 / 36%.
  - Armor Penetration: 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 / 15 / 18%.
Weapons of the Faithful (Q)

- The individual actives do not share a cooldown.
Calibrum (R1)
- Innate: Aphelios gains 100 bonus range while Calibrum is his main weapon.
- Precision: Enemies damaged by Calibrum via an ability are marked for 4.5 seconds, revealing them for the duration. Aphelios's next basic attack against a marked target uses the current off-hand weapon and gains global range.
- This attack will consume all marks, dealing 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 (based on level) (+ 40% bonus AD) bonus physical damage per mark to the initial target. If Calibrum is the current off-hand weapon, the empowered attack uses the main weapon instead.
- Cost: 1 Moonlight per attack.
Moonshot (Q1)
- Calibrum - Active: Aphelios fires a bolt of energy in a line, dealing 60 / 85 / 110 / 135 / 160 (based on level) (+ 60% bonus AD) (+ 100% AP) physical damage to the first enemy hit.
- Cost: 10 Moonlight + 60 mana.
- Cooldown: 9 / 8.25 / 7.5 / 6.75 / 6 (based on level) seconds.
Severum (R2)
- Basic attacks with Severum don't use projectiles.
- Resurgent: Severum's attacks heal him for 8% − 25% (based on level) of damage dealt.
- Healing from Severum in excess of Aphelios' maximum health is converted into a shield for an amount of up to 10 − 140 (based on level) (+ 6% maximum health), lasting for up to 30 seconds.
- Cost: 1 Moonlight per attack.
Onslaught (Q2)
- Severum - Active: For 1.75 seconds, Aphelios gains 20% (+ 10% per 100 AP) bonus movement speed and autonomously performs up to 6 (+ 3 per 100% bonus attack speed) attacks over the duration to the nearest enemy, prioritizing enemy champions.
- Attacks alternate between Severum and his current off-hand weapon, each dealing 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 (based on level) (+ 35% bonus AD) physical damage, 25% on-hit damage and can critically strike. This will consume Moonlight from Severum regardless of whether the attacks are used.
- Cost: 10 Moonlight + 60 mana.
- Cooldown: 10 / 9 / 8 (based on level) seconds.
Gravitum (R3)
- Innate - Binding: Gravitum applies a 30% slow that decays over 3.5 seconds.
- Cost: 1 Moonlight per attack.
Binding Eclipse (Q3)
- Gravitum - Active: Aphelios expunges all enemies affected by Gravitum's slow, dealing 50 / 65 / 80 / 95 / 110 (based on level) (+ 35% bonus AD) (+ 70% AP) magic damage and rooting them for 1 second.
- Cost: 10 Moonlight + 60 mana.
- Cooldown: 12 / 11.5 / 11 / 10.5 / 10 (based on level) seconds.
- Effect Radius: Global.
Infernum (R4)
- Innate - Incendiary: Infernum deals 110% AD physical damage to the target and spray four firebolts in a cone behind them, each dealing 75 / 100% (based on level) AD physical damage to enemies hit, reduced to 34 / 45% (based on level) AD physical damage against minions.
- Critical strikes spray eight firebolts over a X% wider cone and deal bonus damage.
- Cost: 1 Moonlight per attack.
Duskwave (Q4)
- Infernum - Active: Aphelios unleashes a wave of energy in a cone, dealing 25 / 35 / 45 / 55 / 65 (based on level) (+ 80% bonus AD) (+ 70% AP) physical damage to all enemies hit and locking on to each of them. After a delay, Aphelios then fires a volley of basic attacks from his current off-hand weapon, one at each locked-on enemy. There is no range limit for locked-on targets.
- Cost: 10 Moonlight + 60 mana.
- Cooldown: 9 / 8 / 7 / 6 (based on level) seconds.
Crescendum (R5)
- Innate: Basic attacks with Crescendum hurl the blade at the target, which lingers for 0.25 seconds before homing back to Aphelios. He is disarmed until he retrieves Crescendum, but the attack timer is reset once caught.
- Arcing: Whenever Aphelios casts an ability that would require him to throw Crescendum, he instead throws a spectral Chakram at his target that similarly returns to him. Aphelios accumulates the Chakrams he catches, up to 20, which last for 5 seconds. Attacks against champions and epic monsters will refresh the lifespan on Chakrams.
- Basic attacks with Crescendum deal 30 / X% AD (based on number of Chakrams) bonus physical damage. The bonus damage from Chakrams can critically strike.
- Cost: 1 Moonlight per attack.
- Speed: 600 (+ 75 per 10% bonus attack speed).

- The sentry autonomously attacks the nearest enemy in range with a clone of Aphelios' current off-hand weapon, dealing 25 / 40 / 55 / 70 / 85 (based on level) (+ 50% bonus AD) (+ 50% AP) physical damage. The sentry can critically strike and benefits from Aphelios' attack speed and critical strike chance.
- Cost: 10 Moonlight + 60 mana.
- Cooldown: 9 / 8.25 / 7.5 / 6.75 / 6 (based on level) seconds.

- After a delay, basic attacks will begin raining from the sky based on Aphelios' current main weapon, one upon each enemy locked-on by Moonlight Vigil. These attacks can critically strike for (50% + 18.75%) AD bonus physical damage. There is no range limit for locked-on targets.
  - Calibrum: Applies an empowered mark that deals 20 / 45 / 70 (based on level) additional physical damage per mark.

Trivia

Aphelios means "furthest from the sun".^[2]
- It comes from Greek, "apo" means "far apart, away"^[3] and "Helios" is the Titan god of the sun,^[4] the latter element being shared with Aurelion Sol.
- In astronomy, "aphelion" means "the point in the orbit of an object where it is farthest from the Sun" also has the same origin.
His sister's name Alune is possibly based on Latin luna, which shares the same PIE root *lewk- as Lux and Lucian.^[5]
Aphelios and Alune are possibly inspired by the Sun and Moon twins from Indo-European mythology; albeit that both twins belong to the Lunari order.
Aphelios is the first champion that has less than four abilities.
A unique HUD is used due to the unorthodox arrangement of his kit.
Aphelios has a game start ceremony that forces him in place.
Aphelios is the only champion in League of Legends who can obtain the highest amount of Lethality.^[6]
Since Aphelios can hold two weapons at a time with The Hitman and the Seer, there are 10 different possible combinations of weapons he can have equipped. These are:
- Calibrum and Severum
- Calibrum and Gravitum
- Calibrum and Infernum
- Calibrum and Crescendum
- Severum and Gravitum
- Severum and Infernum
- Severum and Crescendum
- Gravitum and Infernum
- Gravitum and Crescendum
- Infernum and Crescendum
Aphelios became a part of the '200 years' meme that came about due to a champion designer's comments regarding game balance expertise. The comment was made shortly after Aphelios's release, which aptly described the sentiment that such collective expertise in game design would create outrageous kits such as this champion.
