Playing as Aatrox

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Hecarim

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Leave the landing point of his R

    When he casts Onslaught of Shadows (R), move away from the end of his dash: the shockwave there fears every nearby enemy, longer after a long run.

  2. Save your CC for his charge

    If you have a slow or CC, save it for Devastating Charge (E): he gains speed as he runs, and Warpath (passive) turns it into AD.

  3. Save your burst for after his W

    Wait for Spirit of Dread (W) to end before your burst: while it lasts, he gains armor and magic resist and heals from damage dealt around him.

  4. Ward his gank paths

    Ward his gank paths: Devastating Charge (E) gains speed over time, so he looks to build momentum in the fog of war.
