I am new to building based off situation. It took me quite awhile to know many items by heart to go "Ok, well I need so and so now because I need more AD", or "I need more HP and AD, so I am going to get so and so". So my build for Aatrax as a jungler was this:
Start off with Dagger 2 Health Potion
At level 6 get Sword of the Divine Boots
When you have enough gold get Berserker's Greaves and Vampiric Scepter
mid game get Blade of the Ruined King Switch boots for Mercury's Treads
Then at some point late game get Black Cleaver Youmuu's Ghostblade and BloodthirsterI am not a pro or anything, so I was wondering if someone would of gotten something else.

Pictures of your runes do not tell us what they are, though you should probably be using armor seals and scaling MR glyphs. I can't confirm that being that I don't have a PBE. I miiiiiight consider building him with 0/21/9 or 21/0/9 depending on what you need him to do as a jungler. But you should definitely be getting Runic Affinity if you're jungling.

Sword of the Divine is widely considered a ****py item. You'd probably better benefit from Ravenous Hydra, which gives AoE and LS. No point in switching your boots either - either your team needs the damage or your team needs the tank, so get the boots that match the situation. Blade of the Ruined King and Black Cleaver look fine to me, though I'd probably throw in a Frozen Mallet or Zephyr to REALLY help you stick to enemies, Frozen Mallet preferred to help your teammates stay in range (plus, Youmuu's Ghostblade is probs more effective than Zephyr in-combat anyways).

But I haven't played him. So I wouldn't know.

Aatrax needs AS early game though to benefit at junging, or else he is just too slow. So I guess work on Blade of the Ruined King first?

You can figure what runes he uses by looking on the right side.
Seems like flat AD reds and AS for rest.


1) His W scales with AD too + you get AS on passive and ult. No need to dig into AS more than some on the side with BotrK.
(Not to mention that Aatrox has 1.076 AS on lvl 18 + 40/50/60% ult and up to 50% on passive.
Meaning that you'd only need ~40% through items/runes/masteries never to have more AS than you can actually use.
Your build exceeded that value by up to 139%)

2) He's no Tryndamere, that said: You are WAY to squishy.
Aatrox needs a more bruiser-like build. Something similar to Xin should be ideal.

If you are jungling.
Always take Hunter's Machete + 5 Health Potion's.
Unless you are Dr. Mundo, Fiddlesticks or Nunu & Willump.

Mundo goes where he pleases.


And pleases, where he goes.

Some junglers can also start Hunter's Machete + 3 pots + ward, like Cho'Gath, Trundle etc..
