Is Atrophy Aura Actually GOOD? Dota 2 Ability Arena [Rix]

In this Ability Arena match, I put the Rix God to the test with a unique twist: focusing on Atrophy Aura to see if it really works in a Rix build. Rix silences one unit but gives it bonus damage and a respawn mechanic, making it ideal for passive heavy, aura stacking heroes.

I built around Atrophy Aura + Inner Beast, stacking damage and buffs to see how far it could carry me. Things started out solid, but I kept running into a tough opponent who repeatedly shut me down in the late game.

The turning point came when I hit some huge Gabens with Grow, unlocking Belch to stun my enemies. Suddenly, my team had the control and burst needed to finally take down their carry and swing the match in my favor.

But the real question remains: was Atrophy Aura actually worth building around in a Rix lineup, or is it just bait? Tune in to see the full breakdown, the final top 2 battle, and whether this strategy is a hidden gem or a wasted slot.
