Aldous works well with heroes that are strong in the early game so that he can farm efficiently, such as Balmond and Bruno.
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.
Level up in this order when playing Aldous:
Contract: Explosion
Contract: Transform
Contract: Soul Steal
The guardian of the Minoan Labyrinth.
After every 2 Basic Attacks, Aldous gains a 500 (+3 times the number of Soul Steal stacks) shield for 3s on his next Basic Attack. This effect can only be triggered once every 5s.
Aldous unleashes his inner energy to enhance his next Basic Attack to deal Physical Damage equal to 200 (+100% Total Physical Attack) plus 5 times the number of Soul Steal stacks. If this attack kills an enemy hero/Siege Minion/other non-hero unit, Aldous will gain 10/10/4 stacks of Soul Steal (up to 650 stacks). The enhanced Basic Attack deals 300% extra Base Damage to Minions or Creeps. Aldous gets an extra 5/2 stack(s) of Soul Steal when a nearby enemy Siege Minion/other non-hero unit dies.
Aldous assumes a defensive stance, gaining 30% Damage Reduction and 20% extra Movement Speed for 2s or until manual cancellation. He then deals 100 (+20% Total Physical Attack)-200 (+40% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to nearby enemies and stuns them for 0.5-1s (scales with defensive stance duration).
Aldous gains vision of all enemy heroes for 5s. During this time, if Aldous uses this skill again, he can dash toward an enemy hero. When Aldous hits that enemy hero, he will deal Physical Damage equal to 250 plus 8% of the target's Max HP and knock back the target for 1s. (Aldous can interrupt target's Recall during the dash.)
Skill Order: Prioritise skills in this order — Skill 3 → Skill 1 → Skill 2.

In teamfights, Use Aldous' Ultimate to gain vision on the enemy team, then use his Ultimate again to dash to the most vulnerable target. After the dash, use Aldous' 1st and 2nd skill combo to hit the enemy with his enhanced Basic Attacks.

In the laning phase, Use Aldous' 1st Skill to enhance his next Basic Attack, then his 2nd Skill to close in on the enemy to hit them with his enhanced attack. Follow with another 1st Skill to hit the enemy with another enhanced Basic Attack.
