Aatrox Jungle guide

Aatrox jungle turns Umbral Dash (E) into a clear-and-gank tool: hit camps with The Darkin Blade (Q) for its multiple swings, let Umbral Dash (E) heal off that damage while closing distance, then drag a laner in with Infernal Chains (W) before popping World Ender (R) to finish. Deathbringer Stance (passive) adds bonus magic damage and healing to a basic attack woven into either sequence.

The build

Rune page: Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Haste, and Last Stand (Precision), with Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order opens The Darkin Blade (Q), then Umbral Dash (E), then Q again, maxing Q first with E second. Starter: Scorchclaw Pup, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Hubris, Sundered Sky, Death's Dance, with Voltaic Cyclosword, Maw of Malmortius, and Spear of Shojin as later options.

Ability mechanics

The Darkin Blade (Q) can be swung up to three times, and each swing covers a different area, letting one cast catch multiple camp monsters or champions. Infernal Chains (W) damages once on impact, then anyone hit has to leave the impact zone quickly or get dragged back to its center for a second hit. World Ender (R) fears nearby minions on activation and grants attack damage, increased healing, and Move Speed, extending itself on a takedown.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Sylas, Jarvan IV, Nocturne, Naafiri, Graves. Best matchups: Lee Sin, Viego, Kayn.
