Eclipse adds max-Health damage and a shield after consecutive hits, while Sundered Sky rewards basic attacks between abilities with healing. Sterak's Gage and Death's Dance help Aatrox survive focused damage after engaging; Amaranth's Twinguard and Armored Advance round out his defenses and add a physical shield. In the combo simulation, chaining abilities and attacks builds Conqueror quickly and gives the best extended-fight value.
