Aatrox's next basic attack gains 50 bonus range and deals 5-12% of the target's maximum health as bonus physical damage (based on level), while healing Aatrox for 100% of the bonus physical damage dealt (reduced to 25% against minions). This damage is capped at 100 against monsters.

Deathbringer Stance has a 24-12 second cooldown (depending on level), though its cooldown is reduced by 2 seconds when Aatrox hits a champion or large monster with a basic attack or an ability, and when Aatrox hits a champion with the edge of The Darkin Blade.
