Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through Q poke and empowered W all-ins, as Aatrox lacks sustain and mobility early.
- At level 6, Aatrox becomes significantly stronger with R providing healing, damage, and revive, making extended trades heavily favor him.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q poke when Aatrox goes for CS, then W-AA-Q when he's low enough for an all-in.
- Always disengage immediately after your combo since Aatrox will out-sustain and out-damage you in extended fights.
Wave Control
- Push early waves to establish level advantage and roam with R, as you cannot match Aatrox's scaling and sustain in side lanes.
- Focus on creating map pressure rather than trying to win the 1v1 after his first item completion.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never engage extended trades after level 6, as Aatrox's R healing and Q damage will overwhelm you even with E blocking one ability.
- Avoid staying in lane when low on mana, since you become completely vulnerable to his all-in potential without your combo.
