Deathbringer Stance P

Deathbringer Stance

Innate: Periodically, Aatrox empowers his next basic attack to gain 50 bonus range and deal bonus magic damage equal to 4% − 12% (based on level) of the target's maximum health, capped at 100 against monsters. Aatrox heals for 80% of the post-mitigation bonus damage dealt, reduced to 25% against minions.
Whenever Aatrox hits at least one enemy champion or large monster with a basic attack on-hit or an ability, the cooldown of Deathbringer Stance is reduced by 2 seconds, modified to 4 if he hits with the Sweetspot of The Darkin Blade.

Lore

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.
