Skill Order (Lv 1 - 15)

Ult

Max Skill 1 first as your main damage source, then level Skill 3 for its mobility and bonus damage.

Aatrox Strengths

✓High self-healing from passive empowered attacks
✓Wide-reaching Skill 1 damage in teamfights

Aatrox Weaknesses

×Damage depends on landing Skill 1 sweet spots
×Healing drops sharply against anti-heal items

Aatrox Early Game

Land the sweet spot of Skill 1 for damage and a knock-up, and take favorable trades. Recover lost HP with your passive's empowered attacks. Weaving in the Skill 3 dash makes the sweet spot easier to hit, and that is the core of the lane.

Aatrox Mid Game

Carry your lane lead into objective fights. Use Ult (World Ender) to enter the middle of the enemy team, and push through skirmishes with wide-area damage and healing.

Aatrox Late Game

Apply split-push pressure in a side lane while looking for the moment to regroup. Once the enemy builds anti-heal items, your healing is no longer reliable. Avoid solo engages and focus targets together with your team.

Aatrox Teamfights

When the teamfight starts, use Ult and hit everyone from the frontline to the backline with Skill 1. Takedowns extend the Ult duration. Use your healing to stay on the frontline and buy time for your team to deal damage.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Engaging without hitting Skill 1 sweet spots

Fighting without the Skill 1 sweet spot leaves you short on both damage and healing, and you simply get kited. In teamfights, weave in the Skill 3 dash and prioritize landing the sweet spot. Do not dive in the heat of the moment; focus targets together with your team.

Aatrox Combos
