When enemy damage is mostly physical and fights stay close-range

The pieces add up to 2083 Max Health and 150 Attack Damage, enough bulk to trade blows rather than poke. Armored Advance answers physical damage from a champion with a shield absorbing 20-140 plus 5% max HP, and it holds for 5 seconds on a 12-second cooldown. Drop below 35% HP and Sterak's Gage grants a shield worth 75% bonus HP along with 30% Tenacity for 8 seconds. Stridebreaker's active slows nearby enemies by 40% for 3 seconds, making it easier to close back onto a fleeing target.

Darius Strengths

✓Heavy pressure in the laning phase
✓Ult resets that can break a teamfight

Darius Weaknesses

×Weak to kiting
×Low mobility

Early Game

Your laning phase is strong. Hit with the outer edge of Skill 1 to poke and keep up the pressure. At Level 5, stack Hemorrhage quickly and go for the kill.

Mid Game

Push side lanes and invade the enemy jungle to take vision and resources. If only one or two enemies come to gank, you can often turn it around for a double kill.

Late Game

Look for teamfight opportunities, whether a Flash engage or catching an enemy out of position. Hold the frontline as a tank while remaining a threat to the enemy backline.

Teamfights

Start by hitting the enemy frontline or anyone out of position to trigger Noxian Might. At max stacks the fight is in your favor. Use Ult to chain kills and take over the fight.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Hitting Skill 1 (Decimate) with the handle

Hitting Skill 1 (Decimate) with the inner handle is a big mistake, in lane trades and teamfights alike. You lose the heal, fail to apply Hemorrhage, and deal far less damage. Adjust your spacing to land the outer blade, and from Level 5, reach max stacks before using Ult to chain kills.

Darius Patch History

DariusPatch 7.2

Adjust

Leg Slash Killing a target refunds 50% of Skill 2's cooldown and restores mana equal to 100% of its mana cost. Darius has long faced a dilemma in lane: clearing minions with autos shoves the wave, while clearing with abilities makes it hard to build passive stacks. Getting the cooldown and mana back on every last hit with Leg Slash lets him manage the wave and keep stacking at the same time. He runs dry far less often, which also leaves him with something in hand the moment his lane opponent steps up.
