Darius Tips

MetaBot Tips
  • Darius has a much higher early late game win rate than their late game win rate. Take advantage of this by playing aggressive early on and trying to snowball through kills.
  • Darius has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.
  • Darius has more health regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
  • Darius has more base attack damage than most champions, so they should be trading autos aggressively in lane.
  • Darius has a low base attack speed, which can make last hitting in the early game more challenging. It can also make percentage attack speed items scale less effectively than they do on other champions.

Playing Darius

  • Decimate is a powerful harassment ability. Strike an enemy from maximum range for the greatest effect.
  • Noxian Guillotine does more damage the more attacks you can land prior to it. Use Noxian Might to deal maximum damage.
  • Darius benefits greatly from enhanced survivability. The longer you can prolong a fight, the more powerful he becomes.

Playing Against Darius

  • When Darius's axe grab is on cooldown, he is vulnerable to harassment attacks.
  • Darius's ability to escape from fights is limited. If you have an advantage against him, press your lead.
