Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Stop attacking during Riposte; bullets can trigger it too. Attack after it ends, keeping room to dodge Flawless Advance. Hit the enemy hero with Leaping Slash to recover health, then leave before their teammate can focus you.

Mid game · Walkers

Attack Apollo with a teammate from separate positions so one Itani Lo Sahn cannot catch both of you. Keep your strongest attack for after Riposte ends, and avoid following Disengaging Sigil into his teammates.

Late game · Patron

Move out of Itani Lo Sahn’s path during its wind-up. Apollo is invulnerable during the slash sequence; when it ends, protect the affected ally and attack him together. After the slash sequence ends, use Leaping Slash on Apollo once you can reach him safely, keeping Return to Shadows for the enemy’s response.
