Aphelios vs Twitch

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Aphelios managing weapon pairs to punish Twitch's unsafe CS attempts.
Aphelios wins short trades with Calibrum poke and Infernum splash, while Twitch relies on stealth and scaling.
Hold wave control near your side to deny Twitch safe stealth re-entries and force him under tower.

Trading pattern

Trade only when Calibrum or Infernum is active to punish Twitch's last-hit attempts from range.
Step up to auto Twitch during last-hit animations only if enemy support is out of engage range.
Avoid fighting when Gravitum root is spent or support cannot peel, as Twitch can punish your immobility.

Danger windows

(Q) stealth with support follow-up creates lethal all-in windows; respect his re-entry timing.
When Twitch has full poison stacks and (E) ready, avoid extended trades near minion waves.
Losing brush or river control exposes you to Twitch's surprise engages; maintain vision to mitigate this risk.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold a stable wave near your tower, limiting Twitch's stealth angles.
Punish Twitch stepping up for caster minions with Calibrum autos if enemy support can't punish.
Track (Q) stealth cooldown to avoid overextending when he can (Q).

Power spikes

Strong weapon pairs create windows to outpoke or all-in Twitch; plan trades around these cycles.
Level 6 (R) with Infernum or Crescendum amplifies your burst or sustained DPS; use it when Twitch groups with minions.
First completed marksman item increases your lane threat, enabling safer last-hit punish and plate pressure.

Win conditions

Convert Calibrum and Infernum weapon windows into CS leads by punishing Twitch stepping up.
Use lane priority from successful trades to crash waves and take turret plates before recalls.
Scale safely into teamfights where your weapon cycles and (R) maximize DPS against grouped enemies, outpacing Twitch's stealth threats.
