When Darius applies 5 Hemorrhage stacks (marked by a glowing red effect) on an enemy champion, he gains Noxian Might for 5 seconds, significantly increasing his damage. Focus the same targets he's attacking to help him trigger this power spike.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
When enemies are low and have Hemorrhage stacks, allow Darius space to land his R (Noxian Guillotine). If he successfully executes an enemy with it, he can cast it again within 20 seconds at no cost, potentially creating multi-kill opportunities.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
When Darius engages an enemy, commit to the fight rather than taking short trades. Darius excels in extended fights where he can stack his passive, and his damage significantly increases after applying multiple Hemorrhage stacks.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Be ready to follow up with your own crowd control when Darius uses his E (Apprehend) to pull enemies. The pull applies a 40% slow for 1 second, creating an excellent opportunity to chain CC and secure kills.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Position yourself to allow Darius to hit enemies with the outer edge of his Q (Decimate) for maximum damage and healing. Avoid standing between him and his targets during skirmishes and teamfights.
Skirmish Team Fight
Use your crowd control abilities to prevent enemies from kiting Darius once he's engaged. He struggles against mobile champions, and if he has Noxian Might active (glowing red), helping him stay in range of enemies can lead to team fight victories.
Advanced Team Fight
Darius is one of the strongest early game champions. Coordinate ganks and skirmishes during his power windows (levels 1-3 and 6), especially against immobile opponents who can't escape his pull.
Lane Phase
In the late game, Darius functions better as a frontline disruptor than a primary carry. Provide him with follow-up damage rather than expecting him to carry teamfights alone against mobile champions.
Late Game Team Fight
Place control wards in river or enemy jungle near top lane to protect Darius from ganks and enable him to play aggressively. His early game strength can be neutralized by repeated jungle pressure.
Basic Lane Phase
During mid game, Darius is a strong 1v1 champion and effective split pusher. When he applies pressure in a side lane, use this opportunity to secure objectives elsewhere or create a numbers advantage.
