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 Jayce

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Watch for the orb behind his gate

    When he places Acceleration Gate (E), expect Shock Blast (Q) through it: the orb gains speed, range and damage.

  2. Back off when he goes hammer

    If you have range, back off when he switches to hammer: Mercury Hammer (R) makes him tankier, and he can't go back to cannon for 6 seconds.

  3. Engage after his Thundering Blow

    Engage after Thundering Blow (E): it's his only knockback, and it has a 20 to 10 second cooldown.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive the laning phase, play for time: Jayce is strongest early, when his cannon range dominates the lane.
