Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through superior mobility and vital procs, but Aatrox can trade evenly if he lands Q sweetspots consistently.
- At level 6, you have kill pressure with R if you can dodge his Q chains, but his R gives him significant sustain and damage that makes extended fights dangerous.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves Q-ing to a vital, proccing it with an auto, then using W to parry his predictable Q follow-up for the stun.
- You want short trades that maximize vital damage while avoiding his Q sweetspot damage and healing.
Wave Control
- You should maintain a slow push or freeze near your side since you need space to maneuver around his Q zones and chase vitals.
- Fast pushing leaves you vulnerable to ganks and limits your ability to create extended trades where you can proc multiple vitals.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use W reactively against his Q1 or Q2 since he can hold Q3 for when your parry ends, leaving you vulnerable to his knockup and full combo.
- Avoid fighting in minion waves where his Q can hit both you and minions for maximum healing.
