Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s levels 1-3 due to Aatrox's superior base damage and sustain from passive.
- At level 6, you gain significant kill pressure with R's healing and damage, but Aatrox can still win if he lands full Q combo.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is E pull into W root combo when Aatrox uses Q, then follow with Q fragments while backing away.
- Never trade in extended fights without your passive souls ready, as Aatrox will out-sustain you with his passive healing.
Wave Control
- Maintain distance and use Q to last hit while building slow pushes toward his tower.
- You want to create situations where Aatrox has to choose between CSing and engaging, using your range advantage to poke him down.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never walk up to contest CS without your E available, as Aatrox can gap close with Q and force extended trades.
- Avoid fighting in large minion waves where his Q can hit both you and minions for maximum healing.
