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 Urgot

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't circle around him

    Don't move around him during a trade: Echoing Flames (passive) fires from the leg facing his target, and each leg has its own cooldown.

  2. Trade after his Disdain

    Take a trade when Disdain (E) is on cooldown: it's his only dash, the one that stuns the first champion hit and throws them behind him.

  3. Stay above 25% health under his ult

    If Fear Beyond Death (R) impales you, back off and stay above 25% of your max health until the effect ends: below that, he can drag you in and execute you.

  4. Back off during his Purge

    Back off when he activates Purge (W): he deals and absorbs a lot with his chain gun, but moves slower during the effect.
