Learn how to play with Darius with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When Darius reaches 5 Hemorrhage stacks on a target, he gains Noxian Might for 5 seconds — focus that same target to capitalize on his burst of bonus attack damage.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Help Darius secure the killing blow in team fights — executing a target with his R lets him recast it for free within a short window, which can chain into multiple kills.
Team Fight
Commit to extended fights when ganking or dueling alongside Darius — his Hemorrhage passive deals increasing damage the longer a fight lasts, so short trades waste his strength.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Follow up fast when Darius pulls with his E (Apprehend) — the short-range pull leaves enemies airborne and slowed by 40% for a second, a clean window to land your own damage or crowd control.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Time your own crowd control for right after Darius lands his W (Crippling Strike) — the empowered attack slows enemies by 90% for a second, making it easy to land follow-up abilities.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Stay to the sides rather than between Darius and his target — his Q (Decimate) deals full damage and heals him more when champions are hit by the outer swing instead of the inner ring.
Advanced Team Fight Skirmish
Bring crowd control to keep enemies from kiting Darius — he has no dash or gap closer beyond his short-range E, so he relies on allies to lock down mobile targets.
Team Fight
Darius falls off in the late game as enemies out-scale and out-mobility him — treat him as a frontline threat rather than expecting him to solo carry team fights.
