Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Aatrox's strong early lane pressure to deny Aurelion Sol safe scaling and farming opportunities.
Control the wave near your side to threaten (Q) sweet spots and force Aurelion Sol to farm under pressure.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Aatrox must leverage early aggression to prevent Aurelion Sol from reaching his power spikes.

Trading pattern

Fish for (Q1) to start trades, use (E) to reposition for sweet spots, and extend trades only when (W) can block Aurelion Sol's escape.
Punish Aurelion Sol's inability to dodge (Q) and (W) by committing to extended trades that leverage your sustain.

Early game
