I typically gear my AODS with his Promethium Longsword, the Heart of Darkness, and the Soultaker Sword. The HoD and StS synergize well with his SP2. Paired with HQ/Arkham, AODS's SP2 becomes a dangerous attack and another strong source of healing. Additionally, the HoD and the StS assist with AODS's power gain (20% power gen increase from the HoD and 20% unblockable chance on basic attacks) which means the SP1 becomes much easier to attain.

I normally use AODS as a point man to help with initial power gains then I tag in my heavy hitter and fight until AODS has at least two bars of power or if I need to relieve my heavy hitter. Then when AODS tags in, there are plenty of options to choose from. Another idea, same gear setup and team him with HQ/Arkham and HQ/Animated (damage boost, power gen boost, and another team healer).

All in all, AODS is a strong versatile fighter. Just play to his passive, give him the right support, and watch him tear teams apart.

Note: If you have the LOA Knives or the Ibistick, use them instead of the HoD, power gen with better synergy to his SP1. I don't have either, yet, so the HoD was the best alternative. Of course, if you have both, use them alongside his signature gear, both HQA's, and spam the heck out of his specials. (Now there's an idea to test.)
