Farming
1.5Zyra

Damage
909Zyra
559Darius
Zyra heavily out-damages Darius by 349 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Darius should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Zyra's sustained damage advantage take over.

This substantial economic advantage means Zyra consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

0.8Darius
Zyra brings significantly more crowd control than Darius, with 0.8 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Zyra far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
470Zyra
1,568Darius
Darius vastly out-sustains Zyra, healing and mitigating 1,099 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Darius can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Zyra is forced to recall.
