Aatrox wins the sidelane 1v1 through mechanical outplay and drags the map apart. Enough Attack and Catch sits in the kit to fight front-to-back when the enemy forces it. Passive (Deathbringer Stance) periodically empowers an auto-attack into bonus true-feeling magic damage that heals him, with cooldown reduced by landing abilities.

Kit quirks

Passive (Deathbringer Stance) periodically empowers an auto-attack into bonus true-feeling magic damage that heals him, with cooldown reduced by landing abilities
Q (The Darkin Blade) is a 3-cast escalating combo where sweetspot hits knock enemies up and deal bonus damage
R (World Ender) extends its duration on champion takedowns and fears nearby minions/monsters, letting him snowball a fight indefinitely
Q (The Darkin Blade)'s real cooldown doesn't start until his last actual slash lands — so burning through all three swings quickly gets it back faster than throwing one and walking away, the opposite of what it looks like.
