How to Beat Atlas — Strategy

Atlas is a tank. The same strategic principles that beat tanks in general apply to Atlas specifically:

1. Don't fight them 1v1 — focus their carries first.
2. Build penetration items (Malefic Roar, Divine Glaive) so their defensive stacking matters less.
3. Kite their initiation — most tanks have one big engage tool, dodge it and the fight is yours.
4. Anti-heal items (Sea Halberd, Necklace of Durance) shut down regen-tank kits.
