THE DARKIN BLADEINFERNAL CHAINSUMBRAL DASHWORLD ENDER
Once honored defenders of Shurima against the Void, Aatrox and his brethren would eventually become an even greater threat to Runeterra, and were defeated only by cunning mortal sorcery. But after centuries of imprisonment, Aatrox was the first to find freedom once more, corrupting and transforming those foolish enough to try and wield the magical weapon that contained his essence. Now, with stolen flesh, he walks Runeterra in a brutal approximation of his previous form, seeking an apocalyptic and long overdue vengeance.

Long Sword. Next, you should pay attention to whether your mobility champion is enough, our further actions will depend on this. If it is hard for you to dodge the enemy's skills or you want to roam on neighboring lines, then it is better to buy 
Boots of Speed at an early stage.

After taking magic damage from an enemy champion, you gain a magic shield that helps absorb follow-up spells, while the bonus Magic Resistance and Tenacity make you far more resilient against AP threats and crowd control. They are an excellent choice against teams with heavy magic damage and strong CC.TIPS: Finally, for your items, you should build Eclipse (Gain a shield and deal bonus damage) as your first item, followed by Plated Steelcaps (Reduces damage from champion attacks) or Mercury's Treads (Reduces Magic Damage) depending on the situation. (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Sundered Sky (Periodically empowers attacks).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in Armored Advance (Grants Armor and a shield). You may want to replace it with Chainlaced Crushers (Gain a magic shield upon taking magic damage), it all depends on your playstyle and the situation on the battlefield.
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

It provides bonuses to armor and magic resistance. The “Endurance” passive stacks up to five times during combat, and at full stacks you increase in size, gain enhanced tenacity, and receive bonus armor and magic resistance until you exit combat.

This makes it an excellent choice for tanks and bruisers who need extra mobility to engage quickly and sustain through fights. Tips: ideal for champions who need to close distance and absorb damage; pairs extremely well with Spellblade items (e.g., Divine Sunderer) for additional burst damage on engage.

The “Endurance” passive stacks up to five times during combat, and at full stacks you increase in size, gain enhanced tenacity, and receive bonus armor and magic resistance until you exit combat. This allows you to stay in the frontline longer and withstand enemy attacks more effectively. Due to its versatile utility, this item is one of the most popular defensive choices in the game and is used by the majority of tanks, fighters, and other classes.

fiwe camp clear with a Red Buff start
GANK
GANKAatrox Jungle Path is a fiwe camp clear that starts on the Red Buff with Aatrox unlocking his first skill— (Q) THE DARKIN BLADE. Once Red Buff is dead, the Aatrox is granted level two which allows him to unlock (E) UMBRAL DASH and kill the Raptors. After the Raptors are cleared, Aatrox paths into the other side of the jungle and kills the Murk Wolves, Blue Buff and lastly, Gromp. These camps grant him level three which is used to unlock (W) INFERNAL CHAINS as it is really useful for ganking and duels at the Scuttler. Next up, the Aatrox heads over to the river to kill the Rift Scuttler, after which he's free to invade the enemy jungle, reset to base or gank a lane and apply pressure to enemy laners.
