Primary path on Aatrox
Precision improves attack and sustained damage on Aatrox troughout the match. Most of high elo players – and our LoL pros in the the major regions – have agreed that
Conqueror is the best keystone rune to run on
Aatrox. This keystone rune provides additional power in the later stages of a game. As soon as
Conqueror is fully charged, Aatrox deals additional damage and gains life steal. This is usually followed up by taking
Triumph,
Legend: Tenacity and
Last Stand.
Triumph restores on Aatrox a part of missing health and award bonus gold, if a champion is killed. Aatrox gains extra Tenacity with every additional stage of
Legend: Tenacity. With
Last Stand you deal more damage while you are at low health.

Aatrox players prefer to go with
