Who Wins
- You lose early trades levels 1-3 due to Aatrox's superior range, mobility, and Q poke without ghouls to support you.
- At level 6, you gain a significant power spike with R, allowing you to outduel Aatrox through sustained damage and the Maiden's additional pressure.
How to Trade
- You should focus on farming safely and stacking graves until you have ghouls, then look for all-ins when Aatrox uses Q aggressively.
- Use W to trap him during his Q animation, then unleash ghouls and R for extended trades that favor your sustained damage.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a freeze or slow push to safely stack graves near your tower, avoiding Aatrox's poke range.
- Once you have R and multiple ghouls, you can look to hard push and dive or force favorable trades in the minion wave.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't trade without ghouls active, as Aatrox will win every short trade with his Q combos and sustain.
- Avoid using W reactively after Aatrox has already landed his combo, instead use it predictively when he's setting up his Q sequence.
