Champion Build Guide
MYTHIC |
✦ ![]() synergizes with Darius kit very well. Weaker waveclear then [[STRIDEBREAKER]. Best Mythic for 1v1 in sidelane and to decimate tower. |
✦ ![]() offers alot of sustain. The buildpath is not the best. Into champions that outsustain Darius Damage this Mythic is really strong. Good alternative Mythic to build in hard matchups. |
✦ ![]() this item makes it really hard to kite Darius. Once completed it is nearly impossible to escape Darius. Against a full ranged comp this item is a must buy. Very good item to push sidelane and quickly join skirmishes. |
2ND and 3RD ITEM |
![]() |
Dead Man's Plate
|
the 40ms passive makes this item really strong on champs like Darius. Even tho it is expensive for it's stats it is worth it. Helps with the weakness of ![]() |
![]() |
Force of Nature
| good movementspeed item with HP and MR, buy this if enemy has a big AP Carry or 2-3 AP heavy champs. |
![]() |
Sterak's Gage
|
allows Darius to skirmish much safer and offers good damage. Darius ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Hullbreaker
|
same stats as ![]() |
![]() |
Death's Dance
| good armor item that offers good survivability against burst. Really strong item to take over a game. |
OTHER ITEMS |
![]() |
Maw of Malmortius
| good item against AP burst. Also offers alot of dmg. Can't be bought together with Steraks tho. |
![]() |
Black Cleaver
|
strong stats and offers movementspeed even from ![]() ![]() ![]() Only worth it if the enemy has atleast 300+ Armor or your entire team is AD and lacks the dmg to kill the enemy. |
![]() |
Guardian Angel
|
good against a fed assassin/burst mage or champs with champs that heavly rely on their ultimates(Noc/Wukong/VI etc.). Also Darius ![]() |
![]() |
Anathema's Chains
|
this item offers an insane amount of HP and you can bind the biggest threat. Also the HP scales insanely well with ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Gargoyle Stoneplate
| offers good amount of survivability for Darius, but the buildpath is pretty bad. Lategame item choice. |
OR | OR | Anti Heal Items depend on the game. There is no clear best item, but very often darius does NOT need antiheal. | |||
Chempunk Chainsword
|
Mortal Reminder
|
Thornmail
|
OR |
Either of those items are good items if you get killed by ADC or Autoattack heavy champs. ![]() | ||
Frozen Heart
|
Randuin's Omen
|
All other Tank Items are great for Darius, since late game his role is more that of a tank than a bruiser.
TL;DR





LANE In the first 4 waves try to crash the 2nd or 3rd depending on matchup and let it bounce back into you and run the enemy down when the wave is close to your tower. |
LV1 There are only a few champs that Darius can not beat with starting W Lv1. Against Meele try to get lv2 first and all in if possible. Against ranged farm as much as possible, but do NOT trade HP for minions. The enemy jungler can dive you and you will fall behind very hard. Especially if you get dove on the 3rd wave. If you can get firstblood lv1 against a TP user - reset! Do NOT stay and fight again. |
LV2-LV3 !BUT League is very chaotic do not try the same every single game! |
LV6+ |
MID GAME |
TEAMFIGHT Get your ![]() |
RESSOURCES Take as many ressources as possible. Enemy jungle should be your jungle. Deny as much ressources as possible by crashing waves in the tower and if possible zone the enemy away from the tower. |
GROUP VS SPLIT Depending on the amount of enemy engage options you need to group more or less. So for example against Tryn/Kata/X/Lulu your team should never get caught. But against Malph/Naut/X/Leona u should keep an eye on your team so they wont get engange on. |
LATE GAME![]() ![]() ![]() |
TEAMFIGHT At this point in game you just want to peel for your strongest carry. Stand next to them and deny the enemy a chance to kill them. Your best bet is to get a 5 Stacks ![]() |
