Brackern[]

Surrounded around the Shuriman Continent are several clans of Brackern, including clans in the Shuriman desert.

Dormun[]

The Dormun are gigantic, slow-moving creatures protected with large chitinous plates covering their body. In the harsh conditions of Shurima they have evolved to survive the perpetual drought by utilizing an unknown sense to locate hidden reservoirs of water. Incidentally, certain nomadic tribes have built themselves a permanent home upon the backs of these beasts where they clean the creature and hunt any airborne pests who venture near.

Eka'Sul[]

Desert goats that travel in herds.

Mwatis[]

Mwatis are goatlike creatures with large plated casques on their heads. Mwati wool and plate are prised for felting and insulation.

Kmiros[]

Gigantic scarabs that roam in swarms, looking for unfortunate travelers to feed on. They seem to be common prey for Rammus Rammus.

Outerbeasts[]

Beside the Xer'Sai, other creatures from the Void, referred to as 'outerbeasts', can be found in the desert.

  • Xer'Sai: Creatures from the Void that plague the southern deserts. They are the size of big dogs on average, but can be smaller or much bigger. Rek'Sai Rek'Sai, as the queen, is by far the largest and most dangerous of her species. Xer'sai burst from their small burrows and ravage anything nearby, to the detriment of desert caravans. Once dead, the Xer'sai decompose at an abnormally rapid rate and become inedible.

Ralsiji[]

Large and aggressive minotaur-like creatures. They are humpbacked quadrupeds with long limbs and thick horns.

Shuriman Camel[]

A breed of camels native to the deserts of Shurima and are used by caravans as well as common folk as primary mode of transportation. Despite being well-suited for lengthy travels in the desert landscape, they are still prey to a many predator such as the Xer'Sai.

Sandswimmers[]

Shurima Sandswimmers

Sandswimmers

Sandswimmers are massive quadrupedal creatures that traverse the Shuriman desert in cyclical patterns. They got their name due to their preferred method of travel. Their narrow bodies and webbed feet are perfectly design for swimming under the sand. They feed on bugs and other small creatures most desert beasts ignore. Scavengers will often memorize the predictable paths these creatures take, and jump onto their backs to ride as far as they wish.


Skallashi[]

The Skallashi are large quadrupedal herbivores. These hardy beasts of burden are common across Shurima, ideally suited to the harsh desert environment. Their key body feature is their long legs. Notoriously bad-tempered, they are nevertheless treated with great reverence. Their brown hides are often painted with sacred symbols of protection, and their horns hung with totems and charms. While these creatures are mostly used for travel and carrying heavy loads, on some larger skallashi people are able to built miniature rooms for more comfortable travel. To own one is often considered a sign of considerable prosperity.

Aatrox Heal power icon heals for 80% of the post-mitigation bonus damage dealt, reduced to 25% against Minion icon minions.

Whenever Aatrox hits at least one enemy Champion icon champion or large Monster icon monster with a basic attack On-hit icon on-hit or an ability, the Cooldown icon cooldown of Deathbringer Stance is reduced by 2 seconds, modified to 4 if he hits with the Champions killed with Living Artillery (R)Sweetspot of The Darkin Blade The Darkin Blade.

Info

  • Even if the ability hit is Spell Shield spell shielded Deathbringer Stance's cooldown will still be reduced.
  • This ability goes on cooldown on death and refreshes upon respawn.
  • The empowered attack will not trigger against structures and wards.

Edit

The Darkin Blade

Aatrox can activate The Darkin Blade three times before the ability goes on cooldown, with a 1-second static cooldown between casts. If Aatrox does not recast the ability within 4 seconds of the previous cast, it goes on cooldown.

Active: Aatrox performs a strike with his greatsword for each of the three casts, dealing Champions killed from outside standard Attack rangephysical damage to enemies hit within an area. Enemies hit within a Champions killed with Living Artillery (R)Sweetspot of the area take Successfully enhanced damage physical icon 60% bonus damage and also Airborne icon knocked up for 0.25 seconds. Each subsequent cast increases The Darkin Blade's damage by 25%.

The Darkin Blade

First Cast: Aatrox's first strike affects a 625 × 180-unit rectangular area in the target direction, with him centered on the back line and the Champions killed with Living Artillery (R)Sweetspot at the farthest edge.

First Cast Damage:
10 / 25 / 40 / 55 / 70 Champions stunned with Pyromania (P)(+ 60 / 67.5 / 75 / 82.5 / 90% AD)
First Sweetspot Damage:
16 / 40 / 64 / 88 / 112 Champions stunned with Pyromania (P)(+ 96 / 108 / 120 / 132 / 144% AD)
The Darkin Blade 2

Second Cast: Aatrox's second strike affects a trapezoidal area in the target direction, with the Champions killed with Living Artillery (R)Sweetspot at the farthest edge. The hitbox begins 100-units behind Aatrox and extends 475-units in front of him, measuring between 300 and 500-units wide from behind to in front.

Second Cast Damage:
12.5 / 31.25 / 50 / 68.75 / 87.5 Champions stunned with Pyromania (P)(+ 75 / 84.375 / 93.75 / 103.125 / 112.5% AD)
Second Sweetspot Damage:
20 / 50 / 80 / 110 / 140 Champions stunned with Pyromania (P)(+ 120 / 135 / 150 / 165 / 180% AD)
The Darkin Blade 3

Third Cast: Aatrox's third strike affects a 300-radius circular area centered on a target location that is 200 units in front of him, with a 180-radius Champions killed with Living Artillery (R)Sweetspot within.

Third Cast Damage:
15 / 37.5 / 60 / 82.5 / 105 Champions stunned with Pyromania (P)(+ 90 / 101.25 / 112.5 / 123.75 / 135% AD)
Third Sweetspot Damage:
24 / 60 / 96 / 132 / 168 Champions stunned with Pyromania (P)(+ 144 / 162 / 180 / 198 / 216% AD)

The Darkin Blade deals 55 / 60 / 65 / 70% (based on level) damage against Minion icon minions, and the Airborne icon knock up duration from hitting the Champions killed with Living Artillery (R)Sweetspot is doubled to 0.5 seconds against Monster icon monsters.

Maximum Non-Minion Damage:
60 / 150 / 240 / 330 / 420 Champions stunned with Pyromania (P)(+ 360 / 405 / 450 / 495 / 540% AD)

Info
  • Aatrox hitbox areas

    The highlighted areas denote the sweetspot - enemies are affected where the two areas overlap (See Range model edge range and Range center center range).

    The first and second casts function like any point-blank AOE (i.e. an effect centered on the caster). An enemy is considered to be hit by the ability based on Range model edge range - i.e. if any part of your Gameplay radius gameplay radius is within the hitbox, you are affected.
  • The third cast, as well as the Champions killed with Living Artillery (R)Sweetspot for the first and second cast, function like ground-targeted abilities. An enemy is considered to be hit by the ability based on Range center center range - i.e. an enemy's center has to be within the hitbox to be affected.
  • As implied by the previous point, the Champions killed with Living Artillery (R)Sweetspot for the first and second cast is implemented as separate areas of effect to the main component of the ability. Enemies must be within both areas to trigger the bonus damage, Airborne icon knock up and Deathbringer Stance's Deathbringer Stance's cooldown reduction.
    • The 'target gets hit' SFX plays whenever an enemy is within the Champions killed with Living Artillery (R)Sweetspot - meaning it is possible to trigger the sound effect without affecting an enemy.
  • Each cast counts as an ability activation for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Sheen item Spellblade and triggering Force Pulse's Force Pulse's passive.
  • The hitbox and Aatrox's model are fixed to the initial target direction.
    • Aatrox's facing-direction, for effects such as Petrifying Gaze Petrifying Gaze, is the direction he is moving, and not the direction the model is facing.
  • All damage modifiers Multiple stacking icon stack multiplicatively.
  • There's a small period of time in which Aatrox can't declare basic attacks after casting The Darkin Blade.(note)
  • This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.

    Infernal Chains

    Infernal Chains

    Active: Aatrox sends a chain in the target direction that deals Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)magic damage to the first enemy hit, doubled against Minion icon minions, and Slow icon slowing them for 1.5 seconds.

    Magic Damage:
    30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 Champions stunned with Pyromania (P)(+ 40% AD)
    Minion Damage:
    60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 Champions stunned with Pyromania (P)(+ 80% AD)
    Slow:
    25 / 27.5 / 30 / 32.5 / 35%

    If this hits an enemy Champion icon champion or large Monster icon monster, a Focused Resolve tether is formed between the target and the ground beneath them for 1.5 seconds, during which they are True Sight icon revealed.

    If the tether is not broken by the end of its duration, the target is dealt the same Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)magic damage again and Airborne icon pulled to the center of the area.

    Total Damage:
    60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 Champions stunned with Pyromania (P)(+ 80% AD)

    Info
    • The impact area is oriented relative to Aatrox's position when the projectile hits, not where the projectile originated from.
    • The location that the target is dragged to is not at the target's original location, but slightly closer towards Aatrox's position when the zone expires.
    • Spell Shield Spell shield will block the chain's application and initial damage but not the aftereffects of one already applied.
    • This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.

    Tips & Tricks
    • To succesfully escape when moving in a straight line away from Aatrox requires at least Champions killed 5s before or after using Chronobreak (R)628 movement speed.

    Edit

    Umbral Dash

    Passive: Aatrox Heal power icon heals for 16% Champions killed with Comeuppance (R)(+ 0.9% per 100 bonus health) of non-Blaze persistent post-mitigation damage he deals against enemy champions.

    Umbral Dash

    Active: Aatrox Dash dashes in the target direction.

    Umbral Dash Bladework resets Aatrox's basic attack timer and can be cast during his other abilities without cancelling them and vice versa.

    Info
    • The Dash dash distance can be extended to up-to 500 units when targeting across terrain. It will only extend for the distance needed to cross the wall.
      • This may upscale his dash speed so that the dash takes the same total time as the standard maximum-range dash.
    • If Umbral Dash is cast in the same direction Aatrox is moving, he will be unable to buffer commands that require him to move. (bug)
    • Aatrox's model darkens for 1.5 seconds upon casting Umbral Dash, which is a remnant from a buff he received before it got removed.

    • World Ender persists through Revival icon resurrection effects.
      • World Ender's healing amplification applies to the health gained by resurrecting.
    • World Ender will cast from wherever Aatrox is at the end of the cast time.
    • Casting World Ender while it is still active renders Aatrox's wings invisible and removes the timer on the resource bar. (bug)

    RP 880
    12.06.2013
    Once honored defenders of Shurima against the Void, Aatrox and his brethren would eventually become an even greater threat to Runeterra, and were defeated only by cunning mortal sorcery. But after centuries of imprisonment, Aatrox was the first to find freedom once more, corrupting and transforming those foolish enough to try and wield the magical weapon that contained his essence. Now, with stolen flesh, he walks Runeterra in a brutal approximation of his previous form, seeking an apocalyptic and long overdue vengeance.

    Trivia[]

    Aatrox, the Darkin Blade Aatrox, the Darkin Blade

    • Aatrox, Dr Dr. Mundo, Mordekaiser Mordekaiser, Vladimir Vladimir, and Zac Zac are the only champions that use their own health as a resource for abilities.
    • Enemies hit by Massacre Massacre will leave a blood trail between themselves and Aatrox that he will rapidly absorb (this is a remaining visual effect from PBE testing, where Aatrox would gain attack speed based on how many enemies had been hit by Massacre Massacre, that was recycled in V5.6).
    • Aatrox can still use emotes during Blood Well's Blood Well's revive.
    • Sterak's Gage Sterak's Gage is speculated to have been Aatrox's missing left arm glove. Its passive was also coincidentally similar to Aatrox's.
