Aatrox enables

  • Briefly lifts the target into the air, interrupting their action. Set-17 sources include the Fizz and Rhaast carries, the frontliners Blitzcrank, Rek'Sai, Aatrox, Meepsie, and Nunu, and Samira herself — both via her active ("Jump and Jive") and the passive that triggers off any ally-applied knock-up.

  • Restores Health to a unit, capped at maximum HP.

Aatrox scales with

  • Scales with Ability Power (AP). Champions and effects flagged as AP-scaling get bigger damage, healing, or shield values when the holder stacks AP from items like Jeweled Gauntlet, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Nashor's Tooth, or from trait bonuses.

  • The physical-defense stat that reduces incoming AD damage. Tank items, the Bastion trait, and champions or items that grant flat Armor all feed into this mechanic, alongside the handful of effects that scale a bonus off a unit's Armor value. Sunder is its inverse — a debuff that reduces enemy Armor.
