Helia Aatrox Build

General

1. You rush Echoes of Helia.
2. You play aggressively, getting Echoes of Helia stacks and spending them as soon as you can.
3. You don't even need Support abilities. You can proc this item consistently with Guardian and Font of Life rune, Heal summoner spell and items.
4. You adapt to your team's needs: more support, more damage or even more tank.

1. ⚔️ Play aggressively, deal damage and poke to stack Echoes of Helia.
2. 💥 Trigger Helia as often as possible with abilities, runes, summoners and items.
3. 🛡️ Support allies while dealing damage to enemies.

General

1. Get Echoes of Helia #1. Then you need to adapt in the game to your team and to the enemy team.
2. Usual item order: Echoes of Helia -> Moonstone Renewer -> Redemption -> Locket of the Iron Solari then adapt.
3. Counter enemy team, go more support or go more damage. You can even build some tank items if needed.

Adaptation

1. Your team needs to engage or position? Get items like Shurelya's Battlesong or Trailblazer.
2. Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption AND/OR Locket of the Iron Solari next.
3. If you are just getting poked and cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!)
4. You have tanks, bruisers and your team lack damage? As a last resort, you can buy few items to even help with that!
5. Remember to counter an enemy team. For example, if they have lots of healing, get Executioner's Calling early.

Champion

1. Even as a Support, you can initiate great fights with your The Darkin Blade (Q) or sometimes even with Infernal Chains (W). Look for opportunities.
2. You can be a fantastic peeler.
• Enemies going after your carry? Stay close to your buddy and knock intruders up with your The Darkin Blade (Q).
• Slow and pull from Infernal Chains (W) can also help.

The Darkin Blade (Q)

1. Q + Flash combo: You can use Flash during any time of The Darkin Blade (Q) animations. You can even combine that with Umbral Dash (E). You can Flash and E in any direction, making very spectacular and flashy plays.
2. To elevate your Aatrox's game, when you want to Q + Flash combo or Q + E combo, make sure to do it at the very last frame of the animation, so enemies won't have any time to react.
3. Flash or E at the very end of Q animation, to elevate your combo. This way your enemies won't have a chance to react.

Umbral Dash (E)

1. You can use Umbral Dash (E) for short dash, this way animation lasts shorter, and you can get crucial milliseconds to auto attack faster (can be deciding a factor in 1v1).
2. You can reset your auto attack timer with Umbral Dash (E). It might be crucial in duels, or when pushing enemy turrets.

World Ender (R)

1. Most people think of Aatrox’s World Ender (R) as just a tool to go all-in, but it actually has a lot of value even if you don’t fully commit. Just pressing R can scare enemies off — they’ll often back away, delay a fight, or play safe until it wears off. You can use that window to pressure them, take space, or secure an objective without even fighting.

Riot

1. Use Umbral Dash while casting The Darkin Blade to increase your chances of hitting the enemy.
2. Crowd Control abilities like Infernal Chains or your allies' immobilizing effects will help you set up The Darkin Blade.
3. Cast World Ender when you are sure you can force a fight.
