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 Pantheon

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his Shield Vault

    Take a trade when Shield Vault (W) is on cooldown: it's his only spell to leap onto you and stun you, on a 13 to 9 second cooldown.

  2. Go around his Aegis

    During Aegis Assault (E), go around him or wait it out: he ignores damage from the front, except from towers.

  3. Back before you get too low

    Back before your health gets too low against him: below a health threshold, Comet Spear (Q) deals much more damage.

  4. Ping when he leaves lane

    Ping your team as soon as he disappears from lane: Grand Starfall (R) lands him from long range, after a short delay that gives you time to get away.

  5. Drag the game out

    If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Pantheon looks to get ahead early through his trades and roams.
