Sinergias

Balmond

Bruno

Aldous works well with heroes that are strong in the early game so that he can farm efficiently, such as Balmond and Bruno.

Vantagem contra

Zilong

Leomord

Aldous is strong against heroes who cannot pressure him in the early game, so that he can easily build up the damage buff for his 1st Skill. Such as Zilong and Leomord.

Cuidado contra

LANE TIPS

General lane advice, not professional player guides. Source item and ability descriptions may be in English.

1
In EXP Lane, manage the wave before rotating and pressure the opposite side when your team contests an objective.
2
Adapt the remaining build slots to enemy damage and healing; do not buy the same items every match.
3
Before engaging, check which enemies are visible on the minimap and wait for key crowd-control abilities to be used.
