Aatrox, the Darkin Blade is a melee fighter champion whose versatile abilities specialize in strong initiation and self-sustain. Possessing exceptional attack speed and durability from his passive, Aatrox excels as a duelist and initiator, leaping onto single opponents or entire teams, recovering from injury just by trading blows, applying reasonable damage from afar, and ultimately empowering himself with bonus melee power that increases both his offensive and defensive strength.
