Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Darius wins with a 75.0% win rate compared to Fiddlesticks's 25.0%, giving Darius a 50.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Fiddlesticks controls the early laning stage, but Darius outscales as the game goes longer.

Fiddlesticks dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 66.7% win rate — a 33.3 percentage point lead over Darius. This lopsided early game means Fiddlesticks can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Darius is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 100.0% win rate — 100.0 points above Fiddlesticks. Extended games heavily favor Darius, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

If Darius survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor.
