Who Wins
- You win early trades levels 1-3 with Q max, as your sustained damage and stun outpace Aatrox's limited Q charges and long cooldowns.
- Post-6 becomes much harder as Aatrox's R gives him the sustain and stats to match your all-in potential while his enhanced abilities make it difficult to stick to him.
How to Trade
- Look for short trades using Q stun into auto-W-auto then immediately back off before he can land Q sweet spots on you.
- Extended trades favor him due to his sustain, so you need to chunk him with quick burst patterns and reset the fight.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to establish priority and deny him safe farming, but transition to freezing once he gets items and sustain online.
- You want to force him to overextend for CS where you can run him down, rather than letting him farm safely and outscale.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to face-tank his Q combos or fight in extended trades once he has sustain items.
- Getting hit by his W chains often means eating a full Q combo, so respect his engage range and don't get greedy chasing kills when his R is up.
