Hero Relations

Synergizes With

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

Strong Against

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.

Weak Against

Aldous is countered by heroes who are strong in the early game. They would make it very difficult for Aldous to build up the damage buff he needs. Heroes like Martis and Dyrroth are good examples here.
