How Vyper beats Apollo
Assassin vs Assassin
Assassin mirrors are decided by who sees the other first. Track their cooldowns and never commit while their escape is up.
Your game plan as Vyper
A slippery gunner who slides into your backline with a dagger and a bola.
Lane
Screwjab Dagger stacks damage and slow. Slither makes you faster than anyone.
Mid game
Lethal Venom gets stronger as targets lose health, so save it to finish fights.
Late game
Petrifying Bola petrifies on direct hit. Land it, then shoot.
How to beat Apollo
A fencer. Apollo wins duels by deflecting your best shot and riposting into you.
- 01Don’t throw your key ability into Riposte. Wait for it to expire, then commit.
- 02Spread out; Itani Lo Sahn is a long slash that rewards stacked teams.
- 03Hard CC before he lunges: Flawless Advance commits him forward.
