Overview
*Hero Overview* Aamon is a magic assassin who focuses on stealth and burst damage. He becomes semi-invisible after using skills, letting him sneak in, kill squishy enemies, and escape safely. He is strongest in early to mid game and works best as a jungler or roaming damage dealer.
Strengths
*Hero Strength* Very high burst damage, can delete squishy enemies fast. Has camouflage for safe engage and escape. Strong early to mid game snowball. Good mobility with dash skill. Easy to pick off backline heroes like Marksman and Mage.
Weaknesses
*Hero Weakness* Very weak against heavy CC like stun and suppress. Hard to kill tanky heroes. Falls off in late game. Needs good timing and positioning. Reveal effects or damage can break his camouflage.
One Shot Burst Aamon
This build maximizes Aamon magic burst damage to delete squishy heroes. Flame Hunter Arcane Boots gives Magic Penetration and jungle damage. Genius Wand reduces enemy Magic Defense for higher burst. Feather of Heaven adds attack speed and magic damage on basic attacks for his passive. Lightning Truncheon procs extra damage after skills for better combo. Holy Crystal gives huge Magic Power boost. Divine Glaive provides percent Magic Penetration to counter Magic Resist in late game.
Early Snowball Burst
This build prioritizes early to mid game power spikes. Flame Hunter Arcane Boots and Genius Wand first give Magic Penetration to burst squishies faster. Lightning Truncheon and Holy Crystal next boost skill damage for Skill 2 and Ult combo. Feather of Heaven increases attack speed for passive stacks. Divine Glaive last ensures you can still kill tanks and fighters in late game. Buy order focuses on fast damage instead of full late game penetration.
Thrill + Seasoned Hunter + Killing Spree
Assassin Emblem gives Aamon more Adaptive Penetration and Movement Speed for burst and roaming. Killing Spree heals 15 percent HP and gives 20 percent Movement Speed after a kill, letting Aamon survive and escape after diving the backline.
Battle Spell
Retribution is best for jungle Aamon to farm faster and secure objectives. Use Ice Retribution to slow enemies during ganks. Combo with Skill 2 and Ult to burst squishy heroes.
Early to Mid Game
Aamon is strongest from level 4 to 12 minutes. Focus on farming jungle fast and reaching level 4 first. Gank side lanes after getting Ult. Target enemy Marksman and Mage who are alone. Use Skill 1 to enter camouflage, Skill 2 to dash and throw shards, basic attack, then Ult to finish. Do not fight tanks early. Secure Turtle and invade enemy jungle when ahead. Precaution: Avoid heavy CC like Franco hook or Kaja Ult. In team fights, flank from the side or back and wait for enemy CC to be used before diving.
Best With Tigreal
Tank heroes with group CC like Tigreal and Atlas synergize well with Aamon. They can stun multiple enemies with Ult, letting Aamon safely dive the backline and use Skill 2 + Ult to delete squishy heroes. Aamon needs teammates to lock down enemies because he has no CC of his own.
Watch Out For Saber
Suppress and single target CC heroes like Saber and Kaja hard counter Aamon. Saber Ult and Kaja Ult can lock Aamon even in camouflage and kill him before he escapes. Aamon cannot use skills when suppressed. Avoid diving if these heroes have Ult ready.
