Latest Aatrox build for League of Legends with items, runes, summoner spells, skill order, counters and patch data.
Aatrox is still a mainstay in the top lane this patch, posting a 50.26% winrate on a 6.45% pick rate in ranked games on patch 16.13.1. Those are steady, reliable figures for a blade-swinging heavyweight. If the draft needs it, he can also be played in the jungle. Conqueror is the preferred keystone, since it pays off the long trades and drawn-out fights his kit is designed around.
Start by maxing Q, then take E for its mobility and escape potential, and fill in W afterward. His core build goes Spear of Shojin, Sundered Sky, and Death’s Dance, layering damage amplification alongside lifesteal and extra durability. The complete item order, rune setup, and matchup counters are covered in the guide below.
