    Game Start

    Atrocitus is best run as a solo top lane. To start off grab the nil weapon and 3 health. I usually will scout the lane to see what champ I am up against. I do this so I can tell how much I can bully the lane early on and also if they are running one or two top lanes. I will also usually grab a camera if I can and place it in the lane appropriate to the threat. What I mean by this is based on the enemy I will decide if I need to ward one of the top stealth pads with sight or the big bottom pad linking to the jungle to protect against jungle ganks 





    Ability Leveling

    When leveling follow the pattern set out at the top. Start with the CRIMSON SLASH (Q) to help with lane clearing hold on to your charges if you have an aggressive opponent in order to ward them off until you can get your skill OVERWHELMING RAGE (E). Use OVERWHELMING RAGE (E) to start the fight and build rage once enraged use your CRIMSON SLASH (Q) to slow the enemies escape and get the kill. Early kills can really help an aggressive Atrocitus run the top lane. The third skill you will take is RED LANTERN'S RAGE (PASSIVE) this skill is actually very good in helping you get early kills as it gives you a way to make the enemy pay for attacking you by dealing power damage on hit. The forth skill is your clearing skill COME AT ME (W) which lower the damage you take from drones and focuses there attacks to you. This skill is great for clearing waves of enemies and can be used to save the tower when you get pushed back in the lane. It’s better for you to have to heal then lose your tower to drones.  Following the rest of the leveling order will give you good damage and help you to control your lane and the team fights 





    Core Items 

    In this section and the following one I will break down the Item and why I use them

    Kryptonian War Armor (3) – I pick this item because It is the best all-around survivability item it gives you Move speed which is great for getting in and out of team fight when your needed and allows you to run down wounded enemies that would otherwise get away.  It all so gives you 200 health  40 power amour  these are tank essentials and then finally 15 health regen which is great for staying in the lane longer and out lasting the enemy.

    [[Metallo's Heart (3)]]  -Again we are dealing with high health and good armour with the second item Metallo’s Heart which give you 250 Health , 40 Attack Armor both pure survivability stats. The next stat is an offensive stat 10 cooldown reduction. Atrocitus has no skill cost but does have a cooldown cycle on all skills this reduction simply shortens that time and makes it more likely you will come out on top of a team fight.
    Dampening Aura: -20% Attack Speed for all nearby enemy Champions. This added effect is pretty self-explanatory lowering the enemy attack speed lowers your and your teams incoming damage and makes team fight more favorable to you.

      Cosmic Staff (3)  This is your main offensive weapon with plus 70 Power Damage and 10 Cooldown Reduction this compound with Metallo’s Heart to give us a 20 percent reduction and  cycle skills even faster. The Item effects on this Item work great with Atrocitus and synergize well with his skills and his ult.

    Disintegration: Dealing damage from skills applies an effect dealing 2% of the target's current Health each second as Power Damage for 4s. (Max 120 per second vs creatures and drones)

    Wounding Skill: Targets of your skills are Wounded (healing and regeneration reduced by 50%) for 2s. Targets below 50% health are Wounded for 4s.

     

    Augments and Item Modifiers

    I use Empowered Cosmic Staff , Resonant Metallo’s Heart and Empowered Nil Weapon  This combo further empowers the great synergy the build has and gives you more of an edge in team fights.
    For the augment I use Castle, Wolf, Beast and Havoc this combo stacks health and armour followed with penetration and life steal


     
    Build Progression

    Build Kryptonian War Armor (2)  first then [[Metallo's Heart (2)]]  then Cosmic Staff (3) . The go back and finish your first 2 armours and  build your  last slots as need from other suggested item





    Situational Items
    There are many different game situation that you can come across in game. Here are some of the possible items to help in some of the situation these items work in many games. This is not an exhaustive list. Learning items as well as when to use them will help you build/tweak the guide to suit your game style.

    [[Booster Gold's Power Suit (3)]] - Great all around I take it if I have to take out enemies that are hanging under there towers a lot. The real hero effect reduces tower damage by 20 percent. This can save your life but Metallos heart is better for kills and team fights

    [[Booster Gold's Power Suit (3)]] - great for combining with Metallos heart for teams with very high attack damage build Metallos heart first.

    Suit Of Sorrows (3) - This is another good remedy to a team with high AD. The reflect damage is great and If im honest I havent decided if i like it or Booster Golds Power Suit more. both are great peices. 

    [[Mirror Master's Prism (3)]] - This is for teams with high PD. alternative to Entropy Aegis.





    Playing Atrocitus
       There are different ways to play Atrocitus and this is by no means the only way to play him.  Atrocitus ias a Great top lane that has good single target CC and some group crowd control in when the opponents are grouped up using an enraged Crimson Slash. Your two most important skills are Crimson Slash and Overwhelming Rage.   Weather team fights or 1v1 I found it works best to use the Overwhelming Rage skill to engage and the Crimson Slash to slow the enemy down.  Overwhelming Rage does have a short range I wish it was a bit longer, but it still works quite well.  I say to use it to engage because it does have a short range especially compared to someone like wonder woman’s lasso or AGL’s Grab. Be sides crushing top lane your main function on the map is to take the enemies damage you are to be a punching bag that hits back this is important to remember in team fights

       Team Fights
        Every character has a roll in team fights you have damage dealer, support and damage takers. Atrocitus is a damage taker he is a bit like a Porcupine in that the enemies that hit you also take damage just for hitting you. This is due to your awesome passive Red Lanterns Rage. In the team fight its your job to attack the damage dealers and force them to shoot you instead of your allies. In this game there are many trade-offs for instance most heavy damage dealer are very squishy and Atrocitus is a big red steamroller. That being said don’t chase it will usually not do the team any good as you will be leaving team mate open to attack. I know that it’s hard not to chase Zatanna down after she turns you in to a rabbit for the fifth team fight but its better you then say your Gaslight batman. Essentially it is your job to be a punching bag that hits back and pukes plasma. Which brings us to another important part of team fights Plasma Wake Aka your ultimate. I personally love this skill it is a cone attack pattern that does damage two fold first in that is causes 200 -410 damage to enemies over 6 second. It also adds a 15% damage buff from all incoming damage to the target. This skill is best used in a team fight to help buff allies damage on the opposing team. Try to get it off when the opponents or grouped for maximum effect. Can be used at the start or in the middle of a team fight, but is best saved for when other player are around to help you. In a last ditch effort to stay alive don’t think twice about using it to spray the enemy it’s you or them always steal a kill from them or force them to die to kill you.
