Welcome everyone to my very first guide here! My name is Raven and I am a Hungarian Aatrox main on the EU Nordic Region. I am here to help you out, and show you my personal Aatrox build. I really hope you guys will find my guide and build useful in the Rift, but enough talk. Let's get started...

Aatrox is a Hybrid Fighter and Tank champion. Especially good for people who are fans of Demonic characters and Hack'N Slash games like Devil May Cry. He is also one of the most forbiden and unloved champions in the entire game. But is he really that bad as people say he is? NOT AT ALL! The main problem is that most people don't know how exactly to use him, so they just give up and call him a trash and failed champion.

However... I am here to prove that he is one of the greatest champions in the game. All you need to do is to read this guide and use your aquired knowledge on the Rift. You must also prepare for that you will need time to get used to his playstyle if you are planning to play him for the very first time. It won't be easy, but training makes the master.

Preparing To The Fight:

When you play as Aatrox, I suggest you to ban Fiora or Darius during the banning phase. The choice is yours, but personally I always ban Fiora. For the Summoner Spells I use Flash (D) and Ignite (F). That way you have a bigger chance to obtain the First Blood.

The First Steps:

As a Starting item I always start with Doran's Shield, but Doran's Blade is also a very good pick. I prefer buying the shield, because it gives you good early protection and you will reach LV2 soon so you don't have to worry about Lifesteal. Just stay in the middle of the lane and farm. Sometimes the enemy will try to approach you in order to lower your HP, but stack up Warlord's Bloodlust and use the bonus movement speed it gives as a dodge. If you get injured just use Blood Thirst to regain your missing HP. However during farming make sure to toggle ON Blood Price because it will make stacking up your passive much more easier.
