Abilities[]
- Aatrox will assume stance when an enemy champion is in range of
Infernal Chains. - If Deathbringer Stance becomes available during a standard attack's windup, it will not be consumed or trigger the bonus damage.
- Even if the ability hit is
spell shielded Deathbringer Stance's cooldown will still be reduced. - This ability goes on cooldown on death and refreshes upon respawn.
- The empowered attack will not trigger against
structures and 
wards.
- The third cast, as well as the Sweetspot for the first and second cast, function like ground-targeted abilities. An enemy is considered to be hit by the ability based on
center range - i.e. an enemy's center has to be within the hitbox to be affected. - PENDING FOR TEST: The 'target gets hit' SFX plays whenever an enemy is within the Sweetspot - meaning it is possible to trigger the sound effect without affecting an enemy.
- Each cast counts as an ability activation for the purposes of on-cast effects such as
Spellblade and triggering 
Force Pulse passive. - The hitbox and Aatrox's model are fixed to the initial target direction.
- Aatrox's facing-direction is the direction he is moving, and not the direction the model is facing.
- All damage modifiers
stack multiplicatively. - This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- The impact area is oriented relative to Aatrox's position when the projectile hits, not where the projectile originated from.
- The location that the target is dragged to is not at the target's original location, but slightly closer towards Aatrox's position when the zone expires.
- There's a small delay in checking if the target is in or outside the Infernal Chains area. Because of this it is still possible to drag the target if they leave the zone at the last instant.
- Spell shield will block the chain's application and initial damage but not the aftereffects of one already applied.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- To successfully escape when moving in a straight line away from Aatrox requires at least 628 movement speed.
