Aatrox can activate The Darkin Blade three times before the ability goes on cooldown, with a 1-second static cooldown between casts. If Aatrox does not recast the ability within 4 seconds of the previous cast, it goes on cooldown.
Active: Aatrox performs a strike with his greatsword for each of the three casts, dealing
physical damage to enemies hit within an area. Enemies hit within a Sweetspot of the area take 75%
bonus damage and are also
knocked up for 0.25 seconds. Each subsequent cast gains 25% more damage.
First Cast: Aatrox's first strike affects a 625 × 180-unit rectangular area in the target direction, with him centered on the back line and the Sweetspot at the farthest edge.
Second Cast: Aatrox's second strike affects a trapezoidal area in the target direction, with the Sweetspot at the farthest edge. The hitbox begins 100-units behind Aatrox and extends 475-units in front of him, measuring between 300 and 500-units wide from behind to in front.
Third Cast: Aatrox's third strike affects a 300-radius circular area centered on a target location that is 200 units in front of him, with a 180-radius Sweetspot within.
The Darkin Blade deals 55% / 60% / 65% / 70% (based on level) damage against
minions. Against
monsters, the first cast deals
25 bonus physical damage, which is affected by the subsequent cast and Sweetspot damage modifiers; and the
knock up duration from hitting the Sweetspot against them is doubled to 0.5 seconds.
