Champion Build Guide
RUNE SETS |
![]() ![]() |
![]() ![]() |
No reason to take any other rune in this row honestly. ![]() ![]() | ||
You are very prone to being cc'd and instantly killed as you cannot draintank, this rune helps quite a bit and having some sort of tenacity on you at all times is mandatory. | ||
![]() ![]() |
This build has no resistances so you could get bursted quite easily while cc'd. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||
Adds extra heal and shield power which is always welcome, once you fall below 40% hp the healing bonus goes from 5% to 10% which can come in clutch sometimes. | ||
FULL BUILD EXAMPLES |
NOTE: Items with a border are core items, others can be flexed but only if necessary. |
DRAINTANKTrading some damage for crazy amounts of eHP will make you hard to kill in teamfights and near impossible to duel. Stacking late game armor pen/reduction allows your damage from items and Passive to keep up. | ||||
TANK SLAYERThe ability to annihilate tanks within a few seconds allows you to heal against armor stackers. You have a lot of snowball potential but you have to be careful of CC chains at all times. | ||||
IMMORTAL LORDHigh survivability through shield and sustain allowing you to clutch close duels and skirmishes. Be careful of assassins building Serpent's Fang. | ||||
ANTI-RANGEAdded stickiness to your high movement speed makes you near impossible to kite. Lackluster when built against wrong team compositions but very effective against the correct ones. | ||||
SPLITPUSHERHigh sheen damage against towers allows you to take them much faster than you would with other builds. Sheen however isn't the best at killing people unless you burst them as you can only proc it 3 times off CD (E-W-E). | ||||
MYTHIC ITEMS |
![]() ![]() |
You become a lot harder to kill with ![]() |
Stacking Armor and Magic resistance to crazy amounts from a single item is perfect. The more stacks on the item you have the higher efficiency of your healing will be as you will be healing more eHP. |
If you're against heavy ranged teams this combined with your ult and ghost will make you impossible to kite. The downside is that the damage and durability from the item is lacking compared to other mythics. |
I myself don't have a lot of experience with this item but I don't think it's bad by any means. The stacking AD similarly to conqueror will make your autos hurt more and makes you better in extended fights together with ![]() |
LEGENDARY ITEMS |
An amazing one item power spike that allows you to duel most toplaners solely from its passive damage and healing. You should rush ![]() | ||
Every 3rd auto attack you'll proc on-hits and lifesteal twice and the best part is it reduces your ![]() | ||
Armor pen is amazing as it boosts your ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||
Similarly to ![]() | ||
An expensive buy for a bunch of AD and lifesteal. You get a decent shield before fights so it can prevent burst in some cases. | ||
Situational item with a mix of offense and defense. Only viable against magic damage and kite comps. | ||
Preventing burst with this item allows you to stay longer in fights potentially being able to heal just barely enough to survive. | ||
FLEX TANK
|
Many tank items can work when you need them. You can choose depending on their teamcomp, items like ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |
How On-Hit works with Aatrox? |
Damaging On-Hit effects such as ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For any advanced questions you may have feel free to ask. |
When should you use Q? |
In the laning phase you play nearly the same as regular Aatrox with an exception to usually having ![]() ![]() ![]() |
