A few tips: The white gun is like a boomerang and your attack speed relates to your distance from the target (which is why you said it felt faster than the others) The best ult combo is blue and white for teamfights (ult while on the blue gun while they're grouped and you get a bunch of chakram ["bouncy things"], switch to your white gun for autos if they all aren't already dead from the blue gun one shotting them) Red and white is a really good ult combo (be on red gun while you ult and you get a bunch of lifesteal, q with the red to stack a bunch of chakram, then auto on the white gun, pros have a saying of "Red and white, don't fight" when going against an Aphelios) When on the purple gun, you can cast your q while the auto is flying even before they're marked for an instant root when the auto hits Some of the guns are better than others, and once you learn the cycles you can purposely waste all your ammo by spamming his abilities to get to the next one. This is especially good when you are expecting a teamfight or gank. You may have known some of this but if you didn't hopefully it helps a bit :) Edit: Some people have pointed out that there are a few things I said that aren't 100% correct so read their replies as well!
Btw, your Infernum and Crescendum rotation explaination is a bit misleading, you skipped some text there "ult while on the blue gun while they're grouped and you get a bunch of chakram..." I think you are refering to Infernum's Q on the Chakram part on the second paragraph
Uhm using a blue gun R won't give you chakrams... You need to use chakram R. Best way to stack chakrams is to have blue gun on low ammo, use Q on stack of minions, then use red gun Q that you get after spending blue ammo, and then switch to white weapon and use R. That will happen once in 100 games tho, most reliable one is with red weapon switching to sniper with white being in reserve. Also using blue Q while having red weapon secondary can insta heal you like Vlad empowered Q for example, it's good if people clamp up on you, and red weapon goes through windwalls, also max lethality second.
You know the fact that Zwag doesn't bother thinking about gun rotation just proves that you can just play around what you have and still win and let the 200 years carry you
Well you don't really need to think about the gun rotation, you need to play aphelios until you can do the combos and everything without thinking about it.
I like how both Rammus and Amumu was just making sure they got the cannons at Top Lane LMAO. Meanwhile the other lanes are either on fire, or causing the fire.
Hey Zwag! Some intel on Aphelios: There is this term for him which is called gun ordering. To setup your combos you have to deplete the guns in a "correct" order. There are some good combos but one of the best ones are red and white/white and green. For red and white all you do is Q with red gun (you shot 6-9 attacks depending on attack speed) and all of these attacks stack a chakram which increase your attack damage with white gun. Simple combo easy to execute. Green and white: this one is a bit tricky but it goes as follows: you place your chakram turret and on every hit it will mark the target form the green weapon (something like you get when you Q with green weapon) and this also stacks your chakrams and allows you to attack from long ranges a lot. Trust me this one sounds whacky but it deals a ton of damage! To achieve these combos you have to keep the gun order: You start with G-R->P->B->W Get rid of R -> G -> P -> B After that you are left with W and R After that you always get rid of R->W->G->B/P->P/B Another note for ult: blue gun makes such that your ult deals a ton of aoe damage so if you ult into 5 ppl it can pentakill :D
General Aphelios tips: All Qs do their things + shoot with secondary weapon, except for the purple one (gravitum) This way it's easier to understand them Almost always use Q for your last ammo, it's usually more efficient. Rotation: use Red gun first, then follow the order you were given until you get red again, then you deplete it first again and keep using your most recent weapon. If you ever mess it up, continue using your most recent weapon until you get the one before the messed up and deplete it. It can get messy if you miss gun rotation more than once. Ult expands it's radius once it hits someone (you can also Ult + Flash just like Lux, so your ult will be cast at your inicial location) Always shoot between spells Use White gun turret to block skills Don't be afraid to ult Chakrams come back to you faster when you are close to your target. So you attack faster Green Gun Q can have it's direction changed with Flash. It will still go on the EXACT SAME SPOT YOU AIMED AT, but your flash will change your angle in relation to it, making it go another way. Blue gun auto attacks do 10% more damage. Edit: Blue Q with Red gun on secondary gives you a shit ton of healing on minion waves. Abuse that I think these are all of his general tips, other than this are just combos and learnkng your powerspikes. If anyone actually reads this and have more questions I'm an Aphelios main, so just ask and I'll answer it as soon as i see it.
I have one question... why did we need 500 "simple tech "to understand how to play this champ....he looks fun , but dont have the courage to learn this kit...
@@tryanfrigor4378 I said it’s general, not simple and not what you actually need to play this champ at a base level. A lot of these 11 (if you’re looking in your cellphone it may look gigantic) very for quite specific scenarios. You just really need to know weapon rotation and how your Q works to actually play him, you’ll learn the rest playing him anyway. A of the things I wrote are useful, but not necessary, you can get away with just weapon order and shoot between spells, I feel like those 2 are the most important since you can apply in every scenario. Don’t be afraid to learn a new champ! If your teammates are your problem just mute them, if you aren’t underestimating yourself create a training room and learn his mechanics before stomping the competition. If you still feel you are “not ready” you can watch are in-depth tutorial or just watch someone else play even if it is just to get familiar with his kit, the rest you’ll find out one way or the other. If you have any doubt you can ALWAYS come over at this comment and ask me for runes, mechanics, item builds (btw, Kraken + Tiamat is super fun). Have a nice journey

Some general tips: - lvl 1 is the worst, just DONT do any fighting - lvl 2 is the opposite, you get your full kit while the enemy still lacks one ability - You gotta pick your weapons based on the matchup and whats giving you an hard time - Just sit and farm till late game, Aphelios is a beast in late game Weapons: Green - Poke Red - Life Steal (useful) Blue - AOE dmg (good in team fights) Purple - CC (useful) White - stacked DMG/Attack Speed if sitting close (op) Best Combos: Green/white for stack proc + ranged poke (underrated, my favorite) Red/White for stack proc + life steal (great for stacking but low dmg on Q without the true dmg item) Blue/White for stack proc + aoe (depends on minions to stack) Blue/purple for AOE CC + wave clear Blue/red for wave clear and GREAT life steal Green/purple for ranged CC The other combos are okay some are worse but at all times try to have these in hand. Avoid purple/red, purple/white these are the absolute WORST
Zwag's teammates be like: "I won't judge you my friend", "Thanks for sharing yummy fruits" cooperating and neatly chatting whole game My teammates: "gg ez", "git gud", "UwU" feeding enemy jungler and shit talking whole game That Vladimir was right after all, life isn't fair.
You should give katarina a chance too. To make it even cooler go ad on hit attack speed. Her autos, daggers, e and ult all apply on hit and her ult ad scaling scales off of attack speed. Bork>kraken slayer>rav>rageblade>wits end with berserkers greaves (berserkers alone give you 157% ad scaling on ult) Her ult late game does like 10000 damage depending on target health.
Just thought I'd add a few tips I know about Aphelios: - Red weapon has lifesteal and red's q spins you and attacks targets in range (both with red and your off-hand weapon), prioritizing champions I believe. - Green is Caitlyn range and green's q marks target and attacks with off-hand weapon. - Blue works like Miss Fortune q but does not lock on and fires five shots. Blue's q works like an auto attack but attacks with your off-hand weapon. Blue also clears towers quickly in my opinion. - Purple slows enemies hit for 4 seconds in addition to being marked and purple's q roots marked enemies. - White attacks with a chakram that goes out and hits target then returns to you. Its attack speed changes the closer you are, so you attack faster and auto reset quicker. White's q places a turret but thats not why white is good. When white is used as an off-hand weapon, it builds up chakrams dealing more damage per hit based on the number of chakrams (Max is 20). Chakrams last 4 seconds and the timer is refreshed when you hit a champion. Red and White Combo: Use red q to build up chakrams, then switch to white after red q duration and attack with the built up chakrams at close range (Since you attack faster with white the closer you are). The best way to cycle your weapons is: red first at the start of the game, then the oldest (So, red - > green -> purple -> blue -> white). This way, you get to white and then finish off blue to get red. You can check the order by hovering over Alune next to Aphelios' icon in game to check the gun order or the color next too his r, this shows you his next gun. For his R, it does damage in an area and a special depending on his main-hand weapon. Blue and purple are the best to do damage and mark champions for root respectively. Green marks targets in an area and white builds 5 chakrams. Red is in my opinion the worst of his r's as it just gives you health (450 at max level). Sorry for the extensive details but hopefully this is useful to you.
Here are some tips/answers for you: White gun (Chakram) is like for melee fights cause it increases your attack speed as the enemy is closer to you. White gun can stack (as in you can stack chakras : using ult stack 6 chakras, red gun q with secondary white gun stack chakras, flamethrower q stack chakras, and so on), stacks that increase your damage (as every single chakra (stacks) will hit the enemy). Also flamethrower ult is very good in teamfights if the enemy clutters together (if flamethrower ult hits everyone, ult will get passive proc and splash dmg everyone. Imagine hitting 5 champions at once with flamethrower ult and get flamethrower passive x5 (dmg x5) ; this will literally delete every squishy champion)
My tips from what I've learned from him: Red weapon - q boosts movement speed and alternate attacks between primary and secondary weapon, always targets champions before minions, heals and can overheal (cannot be blocked my yasuo windwall etc), ult heals for each champion hit Green weapon - long range autos, q shoots long range shot and can fire your secondary weapon if hit, ult applies same effect as q to all champions hit Blue weapon - does damage to anything as it travels, then does a blast of damage behind the target, q fires a blast of shots then fires secondary weapon at all targets hit, ult does a blast around each champion hit (a lot of damage to grouped enemies, ideal for dragon/baron fights) White weapon - has faster attack speed the closer you are to the target, q places a turret that fires secondary weapon and gives you a chakram (spinny thing around you) each time it hits, ult gives you 5 chakram for each champion hit, max of 20 chakram that last 5 secs, chakram boost the damage of you basic attacks with white weapon, if white is secondary... red q gives you 1 chakram for each shot of the white weapon that hits, blue q gives you 1 chakram for each target hit, green q gives you 1 chakram, purple gives you 1 chakram Purple weapon - marks and slows every auto, q roots if marked, ult gives 99% slow and marks Some easy combos: White q, red q, white ult, with some autos in between should give you at least 12 chakram, if not more White q, white ult, blue q into minion wave should give you 14-16 chakram, potentially more if there are more minions, it's a really fast combo so it'll be great for burst My favourite combo, if you have 10 or less ammo in purple and blue, you can purple auto, purple q, blue q into minion wave, white q, white ult, white autos and then finish with a long range green q to get the kill, should be enough to full health kill a tank I'm sure there are many more great combos that are also probably much harder, but I definitely have not had enough practice to figure them out or use them, but often times just playing aphelios is enough to confuse the hell out of your opponent so even if you don't know what you're doing, you can guarantee they don't either He's probably my favourite champ to play just because of how unique he is, but as a jungle main I don't really play ADCs often enough to be really good with them This link helped me figure out some important stuff about how he works and some interesting interactions: leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Aphelios/LoL
I think that Aphelios's gun-switching mechanic would be a lot more fun if they gave it the ol' Super Smash Bros Pokemon Trainer treatment. The longer you use a particular gun, the less effective it gets until you switch and use another for long enough. Then you'd still have to cycle through them for maximum damage, but it would let you do those whackier builds and not screw you up in the middle of a fight by making the next gun random.
Didn't use ult at all. If you would've used it at the end, you would've seen how broken it would be . That thing goes bonkers with a lot of shield while dealing enormous damage. Almost would've liked 4 with the ult. Really a good champ to scale and hit masters with
Omg thank you for making another aphelios video. I just recently fell in love with aphelios and otp him now. You just have to be patient with his kit but once you get it down he’s unbelievably strong
Good combos I found are: Red and white, Q with the red gun attacks a lot and gives you a lot of mini chakrams which are used with the white one and fire with it, so red fuels white which allows you to do extra damage and shred though teams Green and white, ability damage from green gun marks for you to auto from an extended range, so the turret from white using green can apply the marks quickly for you to auto with at extremely long range Blue and purple, blue flamethrower Q autos all hit with the other weapon so it's a good way to mark a team for your purple to swap and root them all Green and purple, Green Q marks for you to fire at range with the purple to Q with that for a root to pick a target to long range Red and purple, Red Q hits with both guns and gives MS while active while the purple gun slows on hit, making it great for repositioning Hope this makes sense and helps with some of how his guns can combo
Hey Zwag. Since you say you read the comments, just letting you know you are one of the few LoL UA-camrs I watch anymore. Taking it easy is so much better to watch than the uber serious ones.
Zwag i honestly binge your channel way more than anyone elses just because i know i will get a few laughs and just have a nice time in general. Hope you have a wonderful week
Aphelio is cool but every time I play him enemies chain CC me. So even he have huge dmg, they just keep me stunned, and if I try to counter the CC, then I have to build crap that makes his dmg not so great.
Zwag, I gotta say that if you got good with this champ, I think you'd be amazing with him. You've got a knack for every champ and his abilities are so versatile that I think you could really abuse it. That said, I still have no clue how exactly this champ works.
Question: The annoying recommended videos block part of the stats at the end, could you extend the end a little longer to outlast the annoying stat block?
You have one video on Kled from a year ago, maybe give em another shot? :D Also love the Aphelios video, I hardly understand the champ so seeing you play it was delightful
I feel like people would play him more if you could pick what guns he had like if he had a shop were he can change his starting guns for free in the first 5 mins of the game but then make it 50gold for ever 5 more mins so in the late game you can't always walk into each team fight with the best guns combo unless you are mega feed but by then the enemy would just FF at that point.
a small tip early game, use ur red gun to farm and green to poke, try to loose them at the same time almost, depends on how u want to play ( this worked for me maybe not metta) i loose green gun first if i want to play agressiv atleast in botlane because when u get level 6 u will have red and white gun if the game works out like normal so then u can go all in at level 6, if u know ur going to loose level 6 then loose ur red gun first then u have green gun by level 6
Love zwags videos, will say as an aphelios 1 trick I get such bad anxiety from seeing solid combos u could do but don't know yet, screaming ULT ULT USE UR Q USE UR Q!! Very underrated adc, think he's got a low win rate because of lack of understanding not because he's a bad champ. Love ur video zwag, keep playin him an ull see
If you are looking to play cammile again now is a great time, she thrives with the new ravenous and Divine sunderer against all the tanks. Would suggest cammile jg, kinda bad first clear until you get tiamat then it becomes very fast. With hookshot you have amazing ganks along with w slow and ult lockdown. Full crit cammile can be pretty funny cause you q makes the crit so true dmg and I have hit for near 1000 true dmg once full build
aphelios cycle guide: use red -> green -> purple -> blue -> white so u get the nice white and red combo when you are trying to hit a turrent, u can always use white q then red q to hit the turrent and remember to be as close as possible as it hits faster with shorter distance from the targer:)
Hey Zwag! Now that Zeri's W just got changed from magical to physical damage, could you try her with full AD/lethality? Maybe it'll feel like the old AP Zeri?
when playing aphelios I find the best core items to have are Greeves plus kraken and bloodthirster because with these items you can team fight with any weapon combo and still do well instead of having to wait for red and white. the simpler you can make a champ when playing it the better you can do. while galeforce can be useful for high poke enemy champs and mobility its easier to rather just get fleet footwork rune and build kraken
One of most hated champ....yet you have more vids of him then Camille...can we get some love for the sharp leg lady. I bet heartsteal would be nice on her since she can jump in to take it. Also ult into flame thrower switch to red is a crap ton of damage.
It's 2am and I'm feeling anxious and can't sleep. Time for Zwag. I'm also a bit behind on the vids because I turned off my autoplay. For me that means I can remember which zwag videos I've watched. For zwag that means I don't automatically watch his ARAM movies in my sleep. But I think I've done my part for the algorithm after watching them 5 or 6 times now.
Zwag, I love your vids! Ur chill and funny (sometimes) hahah, I laughed so much in the yorick video when u had an army of ghouls. But lovekey, I learn so much from ur gameplays, and that makes ur videos ez to casually watch. Keep up the work man!! PS: Could u try Hail of blade, Eclipse and Bork build on Sett? :) I used that build last year and demolished everyone... but now in t he tank meta, its hard to pull of
they’re considered autos except for red q. you could build ap but you would always be doing less damage than just building ad. don’t know if ap aphelios can be considered a meme if it’s literally just the same as ad but much worse
200 years stands for 200 years stands for riot's slogan, which declairs they have 200 years of experience at game developing (combining their employees' experience together)
A few tips:
The white gun is like a boomerang and your attack speed relates to your distance from the target (which is why you said it felt faster than the others)
The best ult combo is blue and white for teamfights (ult while on the blue gun while they're grouped and you get a bunch of chakram ["bouncy things"], switch to your white gun for autos if they all aren't already dead from the blue gun one shotting them)
Red and white is a really good ult combo (be on red gun while you ult and you get a bunch of lifesteal, q with the red to stack a bunch of chakram, then auto on the white gun, pros have a saying of "Red and white, don't fight" when going against an Aphelios)
When on the purple gun, you can cast your q while the auto is flying even before they're marked for an instant root when the auto hits
Some of the guns are better than others, and once you learn the cycles you can purposely waste all your ammo by spamming his abilities to get to the next one. This is especially good when you are expecting a teamfight or gank.
You may have known some of this but if you didn't hopefully it helps a bit :)

Second skin of the day: Default Aphelios.
Some general tips:
- lvl 1 is the worst, just DONT do any fighting
- lvl 2 is the opposite, you get your full kit while the enemy still lacks one ability
- You gotta pick your weapons based on the matchup and whats giving you an hard time
- Just sit and farm till late game, Aphelios is a beast in late game
Weapons:
Green - Poke
Red - Life Steal (useful)
Blue - AOE dmg (good in team fights)
Purple - CC (useful)
White - stacked DMG/Attack Speed if sitting close (op)
Best Combos:
Green/white for stack proc + ranged poke (underrated, my favorite)
Red/White for stack proc + life steal (great for stacking but low dmg on Q without the true dmg item)
Blue/White for stack proc + aoe (depends on minions to stack)
Blue/purple for AOE CC + wave clear
Blue/red for wave clear and GREAT life steal
Green/purple for ranged CC
The other combos are okay some are worse but at all times try to have these in hand. Avoid purple/red, purple/white these are the absolute WORST

Just thought I'd add a few tips I know about Aphelios:
- Red weapon has lifesteal and red's q spins you and attacks targets in range (both with red and your off-hand weapon), prioritizing champions I believe.
- Green is Caitlyn range and green's q marks target and attacks with off-hand weapon.
- Blue works like Miss Fortune q but does not lock on and fires five shots. Blue's q works like an auto attack but attacks with your off-hand weapon. Blue also clears towers quickly in my opinion.
- Purple slows enemies hit for 4 seconds in addition to being marked and purple's q roots marked enemies.

This way, you get to white and then finish off blue to get red. You can check the order by hovering over Alune next to Aphelios' icon in game to check the gun order or the color next too his r, this shows you his next gun.
For his R, it does damage in an area and a special depending on his main-hand weapon. Blue and purple are the best to do damage and mark champions for root respectively. Green marks targets in an area and white builds 5 chakrams. Red is in my opinion the worst of his r's as it just gives you health (450 at max level).
Sorry for the extensive details but hopefully this is useful to you.
Here are some tips/answers for you:
White gun (Chakram) is like for melee fights cause it increases your attack speed as the enemy is closer to you. White gun can stack (as in you can stack chakras : using ult stack 6 chakras, red gun q with secondary white gun stack chakras, flamethrower q stack chakras, and so on), stacks that increase your damage (as every single chakra (stacks) will hit the enemy).
Also flamethrower ult is very good in teamfights if the enemy clutters together (if flamethrower ult hits everyone, ult will get passive proc and splash dmg everyone. Imagine hitting 5 champions at once with flamethrower ult and get flamethrower passive x5 (dmg x5) ; this will literally delete every squishy champion)

My tips from what I've learned from him:
Red weapon - q boosts movement speed and alternate attacks between primary and secondary weapon, always targets champions before minions, heals and can overheal (cannot be blocked my yasuo windwall etc), ult heals for each champion hit
Green weapon - long range autos, q shoots long range shot and can fire your secondary weapon if hit, ult applies same effect as q to all champions hit
Blue weapon - does damage to anything as it travels, then does a blast of damage behind the target, q fires a blast of shots then fires secondary weapon at all targets hit, ult does a blast around each champion hit (a lot of damage to grouped enemies, ideal for dragon/baron fights)
White weapon - has faster attack speed the closer you are to the target, q places a turret that fires secondary weapon and gives you a chakram (spinny thing around you) each time it hits, ult gives you 5 chakram for each champion hit, max of 20 chakram that last 5 secs, chakram boost the damage of you basic attacks with white weapon, if white is secondary... red q gives you 1 chakram for each shot of the white weapon that hits, blue q gives you 1 chakram for each target hit, green q gives you 1 chakram, purple gives you 1 chakram
Purple weapon - marks and slows every auto, q roots if marked, ult gives 99% slow and marks
Some easy combos:
White q, red q, white ult, with some autos in between should give you at least 12 chakram, if not more
White q, white ult, blue q into minion wave should give you 14-16 chakram, potentially more if there are more minions, it's a really fast combo so it'll be great for burst
My favourite combo, if you have 10 or less ammo in purple and blue, you can purple auto, purple q, blue q into minion wave, white q, white ult, white autos and then finish with a long range green q to get the kill, should be enough to full health kill a tank
I'm sure there are many more great combos that are also probably much harder, but I definitely have not had enough practice to figure them out or use them, but often times just playing aphelios is enough to confuse the hell out of your opponent so even if you don't know what you're doing, you can guarantee they don't either
He's probably my favourite champ to play just because of how unique he is, but as a jungle main I don't really play ADCs often enough to be really good with them
This link helped me figure out some important stuff about how he works and some interesting interactions:

The fact that you posted an Aphelios video the day after I searched for your previous Aphelios videos (only 2, so sad), is so awesome

I've never seen Zwag's ankles broken this hard before: 24:34
Surprised he didn't clip it out...
I think that Aphelios's gun-switching mechanic would be a lot more fun if they gave it the ol' Super Smash Bros Pokemon Trainer treatment. The longer you use a particular gun, the less effective it gets until you switch and use another for long enough.
Then you'd still have to cycle through them for maximum damage, but it would let you do those whackier builds and not screw you up in the middle of a fight by making the next gun random.
Just a tidbit I figured out recently, galeforce isn't an execute, it just does a huge amount of dmg if they are low.
Didn't use ult at all. If you would've used it at the end, you would've seen how broken it would be . That thing goes bonkers with a lot of shield while dealing enormous damage. Almost would've liked 4 with the ult. Really a good champ to scale and hit masters with
Omg thank you for making another aphelios video. I just recently fell in love with aphelios and otp him now. You just have to be patient with his kit but once you get it down he’s unbelievably strong

Any thought about Galeforce full movement speed Darius, Zwag?
Zwag, you inspired a new challenge series: Never use ultimate ability!
i like seeing you play champions you arent sure you are good at, because its interesting to see you figure them out!
Good combos I found are:
Red and white, Q with the red gun attacks a lot and gives you a lot of mini chakrams which are used with the white one and fire with it, so red fuels white which allows you to do extra damage and shred though teams
Green and white, ability damage from green gun marks for you to auto from an extended range, so the turret from white using green can apply the marks quickly for you to auto with at extremely long range
Blue and purple, blue flamethrower Q autos all hit with the other weapon so it's a good way to mark a team for your purple to swap and root them all
Green and purple, Green Q marks for you to fire at range with the purple to Q with that for a root to pick a target to long range
Red and purple, Red Q hits with both guns and gives MS while active while the purple gun slows on hit, making it great for repositioning
Hope this makes sense and helps with some of how his guns can combo
APHELIOS CONTENT FROM ZWAG????? ACTUAL CRAZY
Hey Zwag.
Since you say you read the comments, just letting you know you are one of the few LoL UA-camrs I watch anymore. Taking it easy is so much better to watch than the uber serious ones.
The Shakram gun (The turret one) functions basically like Gnar boomerang. Attack speed is based on how close you stand to the enemy you're attacking
Imagine how broken you'd be if you were actually familiar with his mechanics.
I wanna see you+aphelios more!
Zwag i honestly binge your channel way more than anyone elses just because i know i will get a few laughs and just have a nice time in general. Hope you have a wonderful week
6:26 Even with 2 OP guns, he still miss Cannon...haa :)
Finally! I was waiting months for a Aphelios video :D
Goodnight Zwag, great vid as always, it was fun seeing something new!😊
Aphelio is cool but every time I play him enemies chain CC me. So even he have huge dmg, they just keep me stunned, and if I try to counter the CC, then I have to build crap that makes his dmg not so great.
Every time I see someone play Aphelios, I can't say his name. It will always be "Moon Moon" to me. Keep up the hard work zwag
mooncake 💀
@@yonuke9507 I like this one better 😈
"i actually enjoyed aphelios" yep he said it
Zwag, I gotta say that if you got good with this champ, I think you'd be amazing with him. You've got a knack for every champ and his abilities are so versatile that I think you could really abuse it. That said, I still have no clue how exactly this champ works.
Would rage blade be better for rammus?
Please play AP Tahm Kench. Ridiculous AP scalings on everything right now, oneshot potential is now ridiculous.
Question:
The annoying recommended videos block part of the stats at the end, could you extend the end a little longer to outlast the annoying stat block?
27:00 F for this poor poor guy in the chat
Man, poor Pantheon, I suffered from that a few days ago, Rammus top is so annoying
You have one video on Kled from a year ago, maybe give em another shot? :D Also love the Aphelios video, I hardly understand the champ so seeing you play it was delightful
Is it possible to play hybrid volibear with heartsteel/ demonic embrace and Titanic hydra ? Btw love the Channel
I feel like people would play him more if you could pick what guns he had like if he had a shop were he can change his starting guns for free in the first 5 mins of the game but then make it 50gold for ever 5 more mins so in the late game you can't always walk into each team fight with the best guns combo unless you are mega feed but by then the enemy would just FF at that point.

This is the first swag video I cbf watching coz of the champ itself😂
If you’re reading this before bed goodnight zwag

where is the amo bar on the right side of the screen?
can you do rengar top?
You should play him more. He has so many different combos
a small tip early game, use ur red gun to farm and green to poke, try to loose them at the same time almost, depends on how u want to play ( this worked for me maybe not metta) i loose green gun first if i want to play agressiv atleast in botlane because when u get level 6 u will have red and white gun if the game works out like normal so then u can go all in at level 6, if u know ur going to loose level 6 then loose ur red gun first then u have green gun by level 6
Love zwags videos, will say as an aphelios 1 trick I get such bad anxiety from seeing solid combos u could do but don't know yet, screaming ULT ULT USE UR Q USE UR Q!! Very underrated adc, think he's got a low win rate because of lack of understanding not because he's a bad champ. Love ur video zwag, keep playin him an ull see
If you are looking to play cammile again now is a great time, she thrives with the new ravenous and Divine sunderer against all the tanks. Would suggest cammile jg, kinda bad first clear until you get tiamat then it becomes very fast. With hookshot you have amazing ganks along with w slow and ult lockdown. Full crit cammile can be pretty funny cause you q makes the crit so true dmg and I have hit for near 1000 true dmg once full build
Yes!!Aphelios gaming, thank you for playing him:)
Great video, Zwag! I would definitely enjoy more Aphelios videos if you want to put more out in the future!
aphelios cycle guide:
use red -> green -> purple -> blue -> white
so u get the nice white and red combo
when you are trying to hit a turrent, u can always use white q then red q to hit the turrent and remember to be as close as possible as it hits faster with shorter distance from the targer:)
I will never know what that champ does no matter how many times I'm educated
wukong jungle please with shojin and ravenous hydra...
its broken
you read the comments before bed, and i watch/listen to you before bed how lovely
Hey Zwag! Now that Zeri's W just got changed from magical to physical damage, could you try her with full AD/lethality? Maybe it'll feel like the old AP Zeri?
fun fact all of aphelios Qs scale with ap but each one and what it provides
I wonder when zwag will do a support youmi video
thoughts on tahm kench current state ? Would you play around with him again
when playing aphelios I find the best core items to have are Greeves plus kraken and bloodthirster because with these items you can team fight with any weapon combo and still do well instead of having to wait for red and white. the simpler you can make a champ when playing it the better you can do. while galeforce can be useful for high poke enemy champs and mobility its easier to rather just get fleet footwork rune and build kraken
One of most hated champ....yet you have more vids of him then Camille...can we get some love for the sharp leg lady. I bet heartsteal would be nice on her since she can jump in to take it.
Also ult into flame thrower switch to red is a crap ton of damage.
i love playing aphelios his abilities and animations feel so smooth. glad u finally made a vid of him!
Aphelios is just a Terraria ranged class player teleported to Rift. Change my mind
It's 2am and I'm feeling anxious and can't sleep. Time for Zwag. I'm also a bit behind on the vids because I turned off my autoplay. For me that means I can remember which zwag videos I've watched. For zwag that means I don't automatically watch his ARAM movies in my sleep. But I think I've done my part for the algorithm after watching them 5 or 6 times now.
How far did that seraphine ult go at 26:00?
Since you read this before bed gooodnighttt zwag!!
Which one is other champ you don't like to play? I can't think of any
congratulations you have selected among our shortlisted winners,tex me on telegram to claim your prize 📦🎁⬆️⬆️🔼🔼👆🏻👆🏻..
Zwag, I love your vids! Ur chill and funny (sometimes) hahah, I laughed so much in the yorick video when u had an army of ghouls.
But lovekey, I learn so much from ur gameplays, and that makes ur videos ez to casually watch. Keep up the work man!!
PS: Could u try Hail of blade, Eclipse and Bork build on Sett? :) I used that build last year and demolished everyone... but now in t he tank meta, its hard to pull of
I wanna see gnar builds.
Love your videos they help me sleep nothing but love for your channel cause I do the the gameplay as well

He’s sooo fun once you get used to gun combos and rotations. You get flowing and start fucking teams up
The "Neymar scored" got me KKKKKKKK damn no matter where I go 🇧🇷
Had a shit day, but this made me feel better :)
After watching Elite500 that Vlad was painful to watch lol.
Definitely want to see more of this champ.
You should totally play nilah samira bot!
Aphelious has lot of on hits on his abilities Zwag. Im surprised you missed that. Adds decent ap scaling with Lichband and nashors
they’re considered autos except for red q. you could build ap but you would always be doing less damage than just building ad. don’t know if ap aphelios can be considered a meme if it’s literally just the same as ad but much worse
also, that vlad, going in with W .... smh no wonder he got destroyed
Btw if you put a runannes hurricane on him his flamethrower effect happens to prock with the additional arrows from the item
Also man ur the bomb, i try to convert your builds to wild rift since my lappy died and it hit an miss but so much fun when they work!
Jak'sho rammus build! Stacked well over 1k armor with only 3 items
Thank youfor making every day better man I appreciate it
I hope to see a lot more of apheleos
congratulations you have selected among our shortlisted winners,tex me on telegram to claim your prize 📦🎁⬆️⬆️🔼🔼👆🏻👆🏻.
It would be cool to try to stack as much shrukens as possible as melt anyone with one autoattack
So glad you had to give Aphelios one more chance once again.
wht if you build like an yasuo build on this guy like full crit and then dmg?
I fucking love you Zwag just started playing some TFT for the first time and kinda like it kinda hate it hope you have a great night!
Aphelios is one of those champion with high learning curve, but low ceiling. When you master him, you can just turn your brain off playing him.
200 years stands for 200 years stands for riot's slogan, which declairs they have 200 years of experience at game developing (combining their employees' experience together)
i hate fighting aphelios because i dont even know what he does

I loved this! You should definitely try more champs that you don't play normally! (like camille ;)
