Aphelios vs Sivir

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Aphelios wins by punishing Sivir's last-hit attempts with Calibrum range or Infernum splash damage.
Control wave near your side to limit (W) poke and reduce her (E) value.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or poke when Sivir commits to last hitting low-health minions outside her (E).
Avoid punishing if enemy support controls brush or threat zone to prevent losing HP for one auto.
Trade around your weapon pair: use Calibrum poke and Infernum splash when Sivir is behind minions to bypass her (E).

Danger windows

(E) up negates your key poke and root, making stepping forward risky.
Avoid trading when Sivir's support can immediately follow engages or zone you from last-hit punish windows.
Respect (R) timing, as it enables her team to engage or disengage quickly, punishing overextensions.

Early game

Use the first three waves to track (E) and avoid wasting Gravitum root before support setup.
Punish Sivir's caster minion last hits with Calibrum when her support cannot immediately trade back.
Hold the wave to deny Sivir safe (W) angles and reduce her dash escape windows.

Power spikes

Strong weapon pairs create spikes where Aphelios can punish Sivir's short range and (E) cooldown.
Level 6 (R) with the right weapon amplifies your poke or burst, forcing Sivir to respect your engage windows.
First completed marksman item increases your wave control and all-in threat against Sivir's limited short-range trades.

Win conditions

Convert Calibrum and Infernum weapon windows into CS leads by punishing Sivir's last-hit attempts.
Use wave crashes timed with strong weapon pairs to take turret plates and force Sivir recalls.
Scale into teamfights with planned weapon cycles, relying on support peel to maximize your DPS against Sivir's utility and mobility.
