Early Game
In the early game, play a board centered around any upgraded tank units and an AD item holder.
Since this is a Fast 8 comp, look to lose streak in order to build your economy faster than the rest of the lobby. Prioritize 1 Guinsoo’s Rageblade then focus on high quality tank items as this comp wants long fights that allows Aphelios to ramp up his attack speed.

Mid Game
In the mid game, you need to stabilize your board in order to have enough health to work with during the Level 8 rolldown. So on 3-2 Level to 6 and roll for any tank upgrades and a stronger AD item holder.
Ideally, try to play 2 Golden Ox and begin stacking the damage amp for Aphelios.

Late Game
On 4-2 push to Level 8 and roll aggressively for your 4 cost units. Try your best not to roll all the way down to 0 gold as you still need to push to Level 9 as your win condition.
After stabilizing in stage 4, push to Level 9 and play 5 cost utility units such as: Garen, Renekton, Zac.
Additionally if you are playing Jhin and have an excess amount of AP items Aurora could be a good option on Level 9 to help diversify your damage.
