How to beat Aatrox

Common role: Top

A healing skirmisher who chains three sword slams and revives with his ultimate.

What makes Aatrox dangerous

Aatrox lands the sweet-spot of his three Q slams for heavy damage and self-healing, pulls you in with his W chain, and his ultimate boosts his damage, healing and gives a revive. He's an all-in bruiser who out-sustains trades and snowballs off a won fight.

How to play against Aatrox

• 1Dodge the sweet-spot (edge/center) of his Q slams — that's where his damage and knock-up are. Sidestep and his healing and damage collapse.
• 2Cut his healing with Grievous Wounds — Aatrox lives off the sustain from his Q. Anti-heal turns his all-ins into losing trades.
• 3Don't dive him at low health — his ultimate revive turns a kill into a reset. Wait out the revive or CC him through it.
• 4He's immobile between his Q dashes. Kite him after he uses W-pull and E-dash — that's his no-mobility punish window.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Skillshot-reliant — dodge his Q and he does little.
• ✓Healing is hard-countered by Grievous Wounds.
• ✓Immobile outside his ability combo.
• ✓Weak if his all-in is disengaged or kited.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Aatrox's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  사신 태세

  주기적으로 아트록스의 기본 공격이 대상 최대 체력에 비례하여 추가 마법 피해를 입히고 자신의 체력을 회복합니다.

• Q
  다르킨의 검

  아트록스가 대검을 내리쳐 물리 피해를 줍니다. 세 번까지 휘두를 수 있으며 각 공격은 피해 범위가 다릅니다.

  Strong: the sweet-spot (edge/center) of his three slams deals huge damage and knocks up. Weak: dodge the sweet-spot and his damage and healing collapse.

• W
  지옥사슬

  아트록스가 지면을 내리쳐 처음 맞힌 적에게 피해를 줍니다. 대상이 챔피언 또는 대형 몬스터인 경우 일정 시간 안에 해당 지역을 벗어나지 않으면 중앙으로 끌려가 다시 피해를 받습니다.

• E
  파멸의 돌진

  기본 지속 효과로 아트록스가 적 챔피언에게 피해를 입히면 체력을 회복합니다. 사용 시, 아트록스가 지정한 방향으로 돌진합니다.

• R
  세계의 종결자

  아트록스가 악마의 힘을 해방하여 근처 적 미니언에게 공포를 주고 자신의 공격력과 체력 회복량, 이동 속도가 증가합니다. 아트록스가 챔피언 처치에 관여하면 이 효과의 지속시간이 연장됩니다.

  Strong: boosts his damage/healing and revives on a kill window. Weak: don't dive him low — wait out the revive or CC him through it.

Itemization

Aatrox is AD with heavy self-healing. Grievous Wounds (Bramble Vest, Executioner's, Thornmail) is mandatory, plus armor and slows to kite his combo. Dodging his Q is worth more than any item.
