Introduction

Greetings smitefire! My name is HolyPudding, and this is my first guide here on the website. As we all know, Aphrodite is the single most powerful and op mid in the game, and I shall show you how you should best utilize all her abilities. I don't know how to do icons or rubbish like that, but if someone tels me how to, then I shall add them. For now, however, I hope you enjoy my guide/wall of useless text.

Skills

: A spell that allows aphrodite to latch onto somebody, giving them her mana and making her moves work on them. Also stuns an enemy god. For the most part, IGNORE. YOU ARE NOT SUPPORT. Only use when ganking, so that you can invuln them and generally help them, but other than that, stunning only.

back off Aphrodite goes full dovahkiin and shouts FUS RO DAH! in a small AoE, resulting in them being knocked back. Great for stopping greedy loki players who want to stab you, as they can't get close >:) This is also great for knocking those agni swines into tower aggro, since they won't expect it and think are girly friend is hard support. Show them your true dovahkiin powers! Also, if you're bum buddies with someone, the attack will be centered on them, but trades dovahkiin powers for a slowing effect.

BREAD. AND. BUTTER. These darlings will fly out in a line and cling onto any enemies in their path, dealing damage and coming back to heal aprodite and, if she has one, a bum buddy. Spam these off cooldown, since they will push lanes and keep you in lanes for as long as you have the mana.

: Aphrodite uses the full power of her enormous boobies to create an impassable barrier around herself and a bum buddy for up to 2 seconds at max rank. Kraken giving you problemos? Ult as it comes. Pesky loki? Ult to stop his blinkstrike. Tower needs tanking/ This move has you covered. Need to go to the bathroom? Shields yourself from perverts wanting to look. In general, when used right this makes aphro immortal, so the mid lane gets exasperated and ragequits. Then the mino has a heart attack.

Laning Phase

SPAM

Code:
. Just do it. If anyone gets too close, push them back. If they get REALLY frisky, stun them with kiss and retreat. Paying attention to the minimap and staying alert and safe is 100% key here, as getting lane farm and not dying is CRUCIAL, more so than kills. They come later.

Ganking phase

Call in a partner to countergank gankers called in to stop your madness. Preferrably someone with stuns and hooks so you can easily land and if someone tries to escape, a friend and then use back off to secure the KILL STEAL. Once again, just stay safe and get farm, but be more aggressive and try to kill the opponent, your main goal to interrupt farm. The crazier magic power, the more healing and more killing power you have.

Late game and team fights

PUSHPUSHPUSHPUSHPUSHPUSHPUSH. Just get as many defensive structures down as you can, and if the enemy starts a team fight, latch onto a heavily fed carry and spam your , keeping the both of you alive. If a huge ult comes in, ult and resists it, wasting the mana and ult required. Obviously, if the teamfight is intense and near a phoenix, then just latch a tank and let them tank it and have everyone focus it, with maybe one guy zoning them out to ensure an easy way of killing the mino. If you lose, SHAME ON YOU. Always have one guy out of the teamfight before the end to ensure someone can stop them making any real progress. If you can win one, however, it's GG already if you have the advantage.

Summary

I hope you have enjoyed this guide and can take something out of it. If you still don't think aphro is viable at solo, then fine. But if you open your eyes and look at the facts, you can wreck stuff up as the beautiful goddess of, errrrr.... BEAUTY!

Thanks to anyone who viewed this guide.

Also, a shoutout must go to P51Mustang who told me about this playstyle in the first place.

Additionally, a shoutout must also go to ZyoSS, who helped me practice this for the guide with a good game... until I made a bad decision and screwed us all over.

Additionally, a support section will be coming soon, so keep your eyes out.

For now, HolyPudding out.

I am very impressed with this build. I've been using it for about a week and the Gank factor with this build is amazing. It diminishes a player in no time and at least leaves room for the soul mate to kill. Very good job, this is from a Diamond Aphrodite player.

I just tested this way to play Aphrodite and won the two games I played. This is amazing, thanks for making this guide :)... I also used Krazul's idea and replaced "Gem Of Isolation" with "Polynomicon" - It worked really good, too.

Nice guide. It opened my eyes to Aphro's ability to mid or even support as a mage build. I have to say though, I think gem of isolation is a waste. Aphro is all burst damage so you don't really need to slow them. Also, i think polynomicon is essential. Kiss --> basic --> birds --> back off--> basic does so much more damage than just back off and birds.

tried this build out and have to say people cant handle it not the most damaging mid but the sustain and farm-ability is amazing and when it comes to team fights its crazy how you can kill enemy gods and keep friends alive defiantly a match winner.
