Lane Time
Apollo has one of the better laning phases in the game with high mobility and high base damage in his kit. To start out, picking one is always a good choice. It allows you to have good disengage if you get pushed while also slapping them in the face for poor positioning. I usually smack them with the sigil once straight off zipline, then fall back and clear first wave. An important note is that your bullets are slow as FUCK. If they are good with denial and your teammate is braindead you will lose out on a bunch of souls. Also ALWAYS BUY MYSTIC BURST STRAIGHT OFF FIRST WAVE. It gives you 50% more damage to sigil almost immediately and acts as a crazy powerspike. After that, it's really up to you how you want to build it. Generally, the advance is a great pick and is what you will see most from apollo players, but if you are a bad person or they are smacking you with a bunch of abilities grab riposte first. In terms of what to buy after, its usually a bunch of spirit buffs because thats your entire fucking kit, but if you suck like me you will probably have to grab some healing items as well to help out during lane. In general, during lane you are trying to act as the fun police. Stop enemy pushes, punish bad positioning, and, if possible, go help and do the same on other lanes.0 items
