Lore

One of the ancient darkin, Aatrox was once a peerless swordmaster who reveled in the bloody chaos of the battlefield. Trapped within his own blade by the magic of his foes, he waited out the millennia for a suitable host to wield him—this mortal warrior was corrupted and transformed by the living weapon, and Aatrox was reborn. Though tales of the darkin have now passed into legend, he remembers only too well the destruction of his race, and wreaks his vengeance one sword blow at a time.

Tips

Playing as

  • Being Hellbent contributes a significant amount of power in a fight, so avoid engaging with an empty Blood Well.
  • Building Life Steal or small amounts of defense can be very potent on Aatrox, giving him more time to get the most out of being Hellbent.
  • Massacre is great at turning the tide of a battle. Make sure to use it at the right moment to maximize its benefits.

Playing against

  • Aatrox is much more powerful while Hellbent, so be cautious fighting him if he's able to fill his Blood Well.
  • When Aatrox casts Dark Flight towards your location, avoid being knocked up by moving away from the center of impact.
  • Aatrox is reliant on basic attacks for most of his damage and survivability, reducing his attack speed by purchasing Randuin's Omen or Frozen Heart can help reduce both of those components greatly.
