Playing as Aatrox
Tips to maximize your impact
- Hit with the edge of your blade
Land the edge of The Darkin Blade (Q): enemies hit by the edge take a short knock-up and more damage, so Umbral Dash (E) heals you for more.
- Reposition your blade with your dash
Cast Umbral Dash (E) during The Darkin Blade (Q) to put the edge on your target: the dash doesn't interrupt your other spells.
- Trap your target with your chains
Cast Infernal Chains (W) when the target can't leave the zone, against a wall or in a chokepoint: if they stay inside, they get pulled back to the impact point.
- Transform before the teamfight
Cast World Ender (R) before you engage, not in the middle of the teamfight: you instantly gain AD, increased healing and move speed.
Playing against Camille
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade after her Hookshot
Take a trade after her Hookshot (E): it's her only dash before level 6, on a 16 to 12 second cooldown.
- Get out of her leap's path
When she latches onto a wall with Hookshot (E), step out of her line: she has 1 second to leap, and the landing stuns nearby champions.
- Back off between her two Qs
Back off after the first Precision Protocol (Q) attack: if the second comes after a short delay, it hits harder and part of it ignores your armor.
- Fight inside her R, don't flee
Save your spells to fight inside The Hextech Ultimatum (R) rather than to flee: the trapped target can't leave the zone while it lasts.
