Best Ata Builds (Skill, Combos, Equipment & Arcana) In Honor of Kings

Hero Information

Ata

Class: Fighter, Tank
Chinese Name: 阿塔

The orphan Ata spent most of his childhood working as a longshoreman while dreaming of sailing the high seas. His life changed forever when he stumbled upon a pirate ship and embarked on a grand maritime adventure. During a treasure hunt, Ata discovered the rare Soul Pearl, fusing it with sea beast remains to forge a deadly weapon. Armed with his iconic giant anchor, Ata stands as a brave defender and terror of the open ocean.

Skills and Abilities

Blessing of the Deep Sea

(Passive)

When Ata takes damage, his lost health converts into a temporary virtual health bar. While this bar is active, dealing damage restores virtual HP back into actual Health (40% recovery against enemy champions, 20% against monsters and minions).

After 7 seconds, any remaining virtual health decays by 3% per second. Additionally, Ata's basic attacks deal bonus physical damage equal to 40 (+0.5% Max HP).

Wave Riding

Cooldown: 8s

Ata leaps forward, dealing 105/130/155/180/205/230 (+9% Max HP) Physical Damage upon landing. He then bounces up a second time, dealing the same damage and stunning targets hit for 0.5 seconds.

When hitting multiple enemy champions, each additional target takes 20% reduced damage (minimum 60%). Deals 30% bonus damage to minions and 50% bonus damage to monsters. Ata gains Crowd Control (CC) Immunity while leaping, and rolls forward after landing due to momentum.

Overlord's Claw

Cooldown: 11s

Ata hurls his anchor in a target direction, dealing 150/180/210/240/270/300 (+50% Physical Attack) Physical Damage, slowing enemies by 60% for 1.5 seconds, and pulling them backward slightly.

If the anchor strikes terrain, Ata pulls himself to the wall, dragging along any enemies in his path. Enemies hitting the wall suffer 150/165/180/195/210/225 (+5% Max HP) bonus Physical Damage and are stunned for 1 second.

Octopus Boat

Cooldown: 36/32/28s

Ata summons a massive ship obstacle lasting 4 seconds that blocks hero movement. Casting this skill deals 250/325/400 (+90% Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies directly ahead.

Ata gains temporary Control Immunity during activation. Recasting the skill dismantles the ship prematurely.

Gameplay Tips and Easy Combos

Sustain & Trade Mastery: Ata becomes nearly unkillable in prolonged skirmishes as long as he continues dealing damage. Leverage his virtual health passive to win trade exchanges against enemy laners.
Main Crowd Control Combo (2-1-3-A): Hook an enemy near a wall using Skill 2 to trigger a stun, follow up with Skill 1 for additional CC and damage, then block their escape route with Ultimate (Skill 3).
Terrain Synergies: Maximize Skill 2 positioning by fighting around narrow choke points, jungle walls, or combining it with his own Ultimate structure to guarantee wall stuns.
