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 Singed

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't chase him

    Don't chase Singed: behind him, Poison Trail (Q) damages you every second, and that's what he wants.

  2. Get out of his glue fast

    Get out of Mega Adhesive (W) fast: the glue slows and grounds you, so you can't dash.

  3. Keep your distance

    If you're ranged, keep your distance: Fling (E) only works in melee range, and it throws you behind him, toward his allies.

  4. CC on him, damage on them

    If you have CC, use it on Singed when he dives, then hit his allies: he's hard to bring down, but he has to come into melee range.
