Who Wins
- You lose early trades levels 1-3 due to Aatrox's superior sustain and Q damage in extended fights.
- At level 6, you gain kill pressure with your ultimate's mobility to dodge his abilities and execute combos.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q-auto-E back to safety, avoiding extended trades where he can land multiple Q hits.
- Wait for his Q abilities to be on cooldown before committing to longer engagements with your full combo.
Wave Control
- You should focus on freezing the wave near your tower to force Aatrox to overextend for farm.
- This positioning allows you to use your shroud defensively and sets up ganks from your jungler.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight Aatrox in extended trades without your energy management planned, as running out of energy leaves you completely vulnerable.
- Avoid staying in his Q sweet spots during trades, especially the outer edge damage zones.
