Strategy is highly subjective and may become outdated without any notice. Because of this, the League of Legends Wiki has decided to retire strategy pages and would recommend using other platforms (such as YouTube) to find guides. For more information visit this thread.

Tips[]
- Playing As
Aatrox
- Use Umbral Dash while casting The Darkin Blade to increase your chances of hitting the enemy.
- Crowd control abilities like Infernal Chains or your allies' immobilizing effects will help you set up The Darkin Blade.
- Cast World Ender when you are sure you can force a fight.
- Playing Against Aatrox
- Aatrox's attacks are very telegraphed, so use the time to dodge the hit zones.
- Aatrox's Infernal Chains are easier to exit when running towards the sides or at Aatrox.
- Keep your distance when Aatrox uses his ultimate to prevent him from reviving.
- Playing with Aatrox
Playstyle[]
- Deathbringer Stance [Innate]
- Deathbringer Stance is a powerful harassment tool in lane, due to the increased basic attack range it provides.
- The Darkin Blade [Q]
- During the laning phase, use The Darkin Blade as melee enemies walk up to last hit. If the ability is cast during the opponent's basic attack firing animation, they will be unable to dodge or retaliate.
- Infernal Chains [W]
- Use Infernal Chains in conjunction with The Darkin Blade's knock up to prevent enemies from escaping the impact area.
- Umbral Dash [E]
- Use Umbral Dash's bonus AD and dash in conjunction with Deathbringer Stance's cooldown reduction on cast to maximize your harassment potential.
- World Ender [R]
- Due to World Ender essentially being a free Guardian Angel coupled with the ability to retreat while reviving, makes it an ideal tool for towerdiving opponents.
Runes[]

- Legend: Bloodline further grants more sustain from auto-attacks on top of Umbral Dash's passive. during duels.
- Domination
- Electrocute can be proc'ed easily with a swift combination of auto-attacks, The Darkin Blade, Infernal Chains, and Umbral Dash.
- Cheap Shot can be proc'ed with The Darkin Blade and Infernal Chains for added burst damage, especially against tankier foes.
- Sudden Impact can be activated easily with Umbral Dash, and helps increase Aatrox's damage output by ignoring some enemy armor.
- Ravenous Hunter further grants more sustain from abilities on top of Umbral Dash's passive.
- Sorcery
- Arcane Comet empowers Aatrox's lane harassment, and can reliably proc it with The Darkin Blade's knockups and Infernal Chains's crowd control.
- Nimbus Cloak briefly enhances World Ender's bonus movespeed upon its activation, allowing Aatrox to either get into teamfights quicker, chase down targets, or for escaping.
- Scorch empowers Aatrox's lane harassment when landing his abilities.
- Resolve
- Revitalize empowers Umbral Dash's passive.
