Aatrox Top guide

Aatrox top is a dive-and-sustain bruiser: land Infernal Chains (W) to drag a target into range, chain The Darkin Blade (Q) swings, and use Umbral Dash (E) to close the gap while it heals him for the damage he deals, popping World Ender (R) to fight for longer. Deathbringer Stance (passive) adds bonus magic damage and healing to a basic attack woven into that sequence.

The build

Rune page: Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Haste, and Last Stand (Precision), with Revitalize and Bone Plating (Resolve). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens and maxes The Darkin Blade (Q) first, with Umbral Dash (E) second. Starter: Doran's Blade and a Health Potion, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Spear of Shojin, Sundered Sky, Death's Dance, with Eclipse, Voltaic Cyclosword, and Black Cleaver as later options.

Ability mechanics

The Darkin Blade (Q) can be swung up to three times, and each swing covers a different area. Infernal Chains (W) only damages once on impact — 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 extends its own duration on a takedown.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Malphite, Garen, Jax, Gangplank, Jayce. Best matchups: Yone, Renekton, Darius.
