Aatrox Sword(Epic Fight)

# Aatrox Sword

> **Unofficial fan project. Not endorsed by or affiliated with Riot Games.**

The Darkin Blade, rebuilt as an Epic Fight greatsword — custom moveset, hand-authored
animations, ground telegraphs, and a three-stage Q that flows out of your basic combo
instead of asking for another button.

---

## Requires

| | |
|---|---|
| Minecraft | 1.20.1 |
| Forge | 47.4 or newer |
| **Epic Fight** | **20.14 or newer — hard dependency** |

Epic Fight is not bundled — install it separately. The sword only works in Epic Fight's
battle mode; use whatever key your Epic Fight controls have bound to it.

## The weapon

**Blade of the Darkin** — a two-handed greatsword built on Epic Fight's greatsword category.

- 10 attack damage, 1.6 attacks/second
- +20% armour negation, +4.5 impact
- Custom idle, run, and three-hit combo animations
- Custom swing trail and a heavy slam sound

## The Darkin Blade (Q)

**Three ordinary swings arm it. The Q then comes out on its own** — no fourth click, no
timing window to hit. Each cast escalates:

| Stage | Shape | Damage | Sweet spot |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Q1** | Rectangle, 6.6 blocks forward | 10.0 | Far band — **16.5** |
| **Q2** | Cone, 4.8 blocks, 35° half-angle | 12.5 | Outer band — **20.6** |
| **Q3** | Circle, radius 3.2, centred ahead | 16.0 | **Inner disc** — **26.4** |

The sweet spot hits for **1.65×** and knocks the target down. On stages 1 and 2 it is the
leading edge, where the blade tip travels fastest. **Stage 3 is the opposite** — the strong
part is the bright middle, matching how the ability reads in League. The decal on the ground
tells you which is which.

Let four seconds pass without swinging or casting and the chain drops back to stage 1.

The Q key casts the banked stage on demand, independently of the swing chain.

Each cast paints its hit region on the floor as the wind-up starts, then breaks the terrain
underneath on impact — the blocks shatter and settle back a moment later. Nothing is
permanently changed.

## Blood Well (passive)

Every hit drains life: **12% of damage dealt**, up to 4 health per hit.

Below **40% health** the drain **doubles**. The lower Aatrox is, the harder he holds on.
