Darius Counters :: Counter Picking Stats for Darius by CounterStats

RivalOCE says “A very cheesy matchup. If he takes ghost/ignite you can't win an all-in unless he misses his E. Same principle as Fiora, short trades but if he hits his E run. If he has TP this lane is much easier. E or Q inside his Q to stop healing. Don't be baited level 1. All-in when he's 50% at level 6.”

I Am Goliath says “Darius is a hard lane but easy champion to beat post level 9, I like to start Doran's shield in this matchup because it keeps you safe early which is what you want, I also run second wind in this matchup instead of conditioning, also early ninja tabi's can be great in this matchup since movement speed is so valuable against darius and a lot of them take ghost+flash. I also personally buy Black Cleaver in this matchup first because the HP is important for surviving, I also build frozen mallet third item after death's dance since HP is the only counter to his true damage and the slow comes in handy vs darius. Another thing to keep in mind is you can use your E before he pulls you and your E will go off right when you get pulled to him so he doesn't even get an auto attack off so I always reccomend just E'ing if you think he is going to pull you worst case scenario is you just E away. You should win this matchup level 9+ and once you have black cleaver if you aren't too far down, also try to dodge his Q heal and try to hit your E if you can E into him as he Q's to dodge the outer heal that is the most ideal and you will win the 1v1, if you made mistakes in lane or fought when you shouldnt have and you're behind you should still be able to win level 13+ as long as it's 1v1. Basically this is a don't make big mistakes early on matchup.”

BoilTheOil says “Take Conqueror and Ignite. In order to win this lane you have to play perfect, if you fuckup once he kills you. E when he uses his Q so you can deny him from hitting you with the outer part. If you're level 6 and he tries to Q again you ult him and he can't hit you with the outer part. Don't use W until he gets full stacks on you so you can block the most damage possible, and if he's level 6 block his ultimate with your W. Never waste W, if you do his veins will start popping and his ghost will activate. If he starts focusing somebody other than you in teamfights ult him away so he can't get 5 stacks on them. ”

jpaul2077 says “Darius isn't AS BAD of a match up many people make it seem. Of course you're not going to be dominating lane vs a competent Darius. The important part in this lane is staying even in experience and doing your best to not die solo. Remember that at level 6 with your ultimate you have just as much kill pressure as Darius has on you, so do not be afraid to go for the all in! However if at any point you fall even slightly behind you will have to concede all farm and play under tower and hope he makes a mistake.”

iZeal says “Respect his all-in. You can poke him safely with Q1. If he rushes armor, it gets much harder. Q1 is safe, but if you don't space Q2 perfectly, he can pull you even if you E away. In that case it is better to save your E for a Q3 while doding his Q. If he misses his E this is your time to harass him as it has a huge cooldown early on and he also runs oom after 3 Qs. Disrupt him in teamfights and don't let him stack up his passive on you.”

Stinkee says “Avoid picking Sion into Darius. This has been one of Sion's hardest matchups since the rework. It's not impossible to win this matchup though. Try to freeze your lane and look for when he tries to pull you and dodge it. You can win short trades with the help of your W but watch out for his all-in. Take Grasp of the Undying or Glacial Augment and put 3 points in W first then max Q. 3 points in W is great here because it gives you enough shield to win short trades and burst him with the shield damage. Sion's shield can be his highest damage ability, don't be afraid to use it offensively in many cases. Rush armor and health and ask for ganks. Darius is easy to gank because he has no mobility outside of summoner spells and you should be freezing your lane. Be careful to not let Darius land everything on you and your jungler and win the 1v2.”

Anoying bro5 says “You can take ignite into this matchup as Darius doesnt take teleport 90% of the time. I would suggest getting used to taking teleport as the summoner is much better. Dont look to take too long of trades as his bleed does massive damage and heals him. Look to Q inside of his Q so he doesnt heal or get a bleed stack.

A_Drunk_Carry says “A tricky matchup at times, but one that I feel is inherently 50-50. Darius will often go W level 1 to slow you and get off easy passive procs. Let him shove the wave early, you don't want to fight this lane until level 3. Darius is fairly immobile and easy to trap in your wall. Land an E, proc it with Q once you have 3-4 graves, and walk up to him. trap him in your W wall and let your ghouls do most of the work as you bonk him from time to time. NOTE: Grievous Wounds does WONDERs in this matchup due to Darius Q regen. ”

A_Drunk_Carry says “IMPORTANT: START E LEVEL 1 IN THIS LANE Another lane bully. Which means he beats Nasus, go figure. If you accidentally start Q don't be surprised if he has 10 cs before you hit 2-3. You need your E to harass him off the wave early, and to last hit the melee minions. Darius will zone you out of cs range from lvls 1-3. If you do walk up to farm a smart Darius will slow you with W, and beat your face down for 1/2 or more of your HP bar. Try to trick Darius into Qing the wave. You want to be safely under tower. A lot of his presence disappears at that point. You'll need grievous wounds in this lane, or you'll never be able to kill him while he's low. If you play it safe by the time you're lvl 6 if you can dodge a Q or two in a fight you actually win the 1v1. You outscale as well, so that's a plus.”

SunFalk says “High damage. He has a grabe. He's tanky. He has an ignite in his kit. He has an ult that can kill you easely. He has a good wave clear. - To deal against a Darius, you need to not let him snowball, and to do that, you need to not die. Stay behind minions and safe, if he runs at you, use your Heal to go faster and run away. Let him push under your tower for you to CS and for a eventual gank from your jungler.”

Boots will help you early game due to his +10 higher movement speed, which compliments PTA/Glacial. Otherwise feel free to start with Doran's Ring. Move towards him if he is going to land his (Q) spin so you can prevent a bleed stack & blind his (W) to prevent the 90% slow. Regardless of what you may think, this match-up goes either way. You either kite and avoid his pull or get caught and die. Glacial helps cheese him, unless he has Phase rush. You can run Everfrost to lock him down if you get caught. ”

Drake6401 says “He's getting less oppressive but I'm keeping him in major threats because of how easily you can lose this matchup with the tiniest mistake. If he gets the first kill, it will be a rough lane, but if you get the first 2 kills, you're in good shape. Make an empowered W your last hit before dashing out of a trade so he can't pull you back in. Failure to do so will get you killed. Once he is half HP, look for a kill but you must avoid his Q sweet spot. I take ghost vs this matchup so he can't out speed you with spells unless he has Nimbus and you don't. ”

Psychopathic Top says “Since Darius's passive got nerfed, this matchup got a lot easier to play against. Start E level 1 and last hit the first 3 melees with E. Let him shove in and only focus on stacking the cannon on the 3rd wave. Biscuits are good here because you want to be using E to last hit in this lane in the early stages, so having the extra mana helps a lot. Most good darius players will 3 wave crash and wait for it to bounce back. Do not panic in this situation. Focus on last hitting and building up a wave. If Darius looks to all in you pre level 5 in your huge minion wave, ghost and fight back. Flash his outer Q so he cant heal and you can actually win the all in. If the lane gets to level 6, first back sheen + longsword and all in Darius with 50-60 stacks (is enough). The reason people think this matchup is hard because darius pulls Nasus in and the Nasus player starts to panic. But if you are a giga chad and fight back on 6 with sheen longsword you will realize that he simply dies to the dog. This matchup is basically a test of courage, if you hold and fight back then it is won. Darius is slightly better than Nasus in teamfights, but both champs function very similiarly. Buy steraks gage second in this matchup to match Darius's steraks. Do not go stoneplate second vs Darius because 2 item powerspike is too important. Whoever's got 2 items first in a teamfight wins, and stoneplate costs a bit more than steraks.”

PH45 says “Can be a difficult lane but it's mostly whichever snowballs first. Important thing is to block his W with your E and don't let him get his passive to 5 stacks on you. If you can't run out of his Q circle Q on him so you will be in the inner ring, denying him his heal and extra damage. Early tabis also help quite a lot in this matchup. All in if he misses E, just be careful since most Darius's run Ghost so they will have kiting potential with it.”

LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Darius is difficult because you'll never be able to fight him after lvl 2 (assuming he levels his E. If he doesn't then lvl 3), regardless of your build or how ahead you are. His stats are better than yours, his pull is difficult to dodge (and gives armor pen), his Q allows him to potentially survive dives, and he'll zone you off of cs 24/7. While you do outrange him you can only poke very early on (lvl 1-2) and when his E is down. Still, he can Q in the middle of your auto and win the trade. This matchup is a 5 if he takes ghost and a 4 if he does not. ”

quinn adc says “Darius wins the matchup in close range, so the purpose of phase rush/glacial is to able to kite Darius and out run him. Level 1 BE CAREFUL! Most Darius players run ghost AND/OR phase rush. Be attentive and make sure to see what he is running before the game starts. If he has Ghost/Phase Rush, be cautious level 1. Wait for Darius to use an ability level 1 to see what he starts because some cheese Darius players will start E and run you down with ghost level 1 after you use your vault. Otherwise, if he starts Q, you can trade aggressively level 1 with your Vault. TIP! If you E Darius when he's chanelling his Q, which has a 0.75 delay, your vault pushes you out of perfect distance so that his Q damage won't hit you at all if timed correctly . Level 2 onwards BE CAREFUL and only use your Vault AFTER Darius uses his pull. If he wastes his pull, be free to vault him if their jungler isn't top because he has no gap closer otherwise & his E has a 24 sec cooldown level 1, which is double your vault cooldown of 12 seconds. Trade Darius in lane with AAs and your Q Blind + AA in lane whenever possible because Darius can't retaliate unless he's trying to all-in you, which allows you to get him low in lane. If Darius uses Ghost, you can pop ignite for nimbus to act as a mini ghost. This trade is worth it for you becasue ignite is 30 seconds shorter CD than ghost is. If he pulls you, instantly press vault to push you to safety and the key is not to hesitate. NOTE: Good Darius players will instantly run behind you when he pulls you, and if he's fast enough, you will vault in the opposite direction away from your tower, so be careful of that. Glacial is my favourite for this matchup because slows directly counter Darius's ghost and his potential to all-in you, so this is the one matchup I prefer glacial into, even in season 11.”

Amphawn says “Due to stridebreaker no longer having a dash, you can just stay out of his E range and you'll be fine. Don't trade with him early as he will rock your shit. His only real all in option is to try and E you after ghosting, so just farm and don't waste your Q and W. If he does pull you, Q him immediately and W and just focus on dodging his Q. You will be very slow because of his W, but with your Q and W, you may be able to stick on him until the Q is over, then you can run away.”

Fan22 says “Darius will harras you everytime you try to farm and deal a lot of damage, the worst thing its that his ultimate deals TRUE DAMAGE and his E gives him free armor penetration. Be careful if he has Ignite and/or Ghost. Against Darius ask your jungler for ganks as earlky as you can, because if he gets items or if he kills you your jungler can't help you much, run TP and Doran's shield for sustain, second wind from runes also helps. Bramble vest helps a lot in this matchup because it reduces the healings of Darius Q, runes, deaths dance and Conqueror (common items on darius), and if you complete Thornmail you can deny up to 60% of his healings, however, i have discovered that rushing Bramble isn't very effective against him, so make that item later on. Going supportive items like redemption, zekes or knights vow helps a lot since it's innevitable that Darius will melt you not mather how tanky you are, so helping your team as much as you can works well. A small Tip against him it's that your W can instantly place you in the middle of him, meaning that you can use it to dodge his Q with ease.”

Jungl says “Must dodge his e, if you don't you're very much going to die or have to flash. If you are able to dodge his is most of the time would should be able to beat him in lane.”

Olaugh says “Ask your jungler for help, to shut him down early, don't be afraid to trade with him, if you are playing properly, you can win 1v1, however put some respect especially if he goes flash ghost!, if he collects 5 stacks on you, it knows to be very sticky, so be aware of his damage while fully stacked. When your minions are low move away so you dont get hit by q.Try to bait his q so he doesnt heal and get free stack. When he finishes minion with w ,all in him especially if u are lv 6 since he just used W ,his E doesnt work while you are in R and with ur Phage item + R your movm speed is insane and you rapidly go into him so he will probably miss q or activate it too late or wont be able to hit it at all, if he has ignite then be REALLY careful and ask jg to gank maybe even mid to roam.”

DippyDan says “One of the few Melees that can win level 1 against Fiora. I have gotten Ghost cheesed too many times in this matchup. Also very hard to parry his E if he is smart but if you survive the early game you can All-In with ult and look to parry his ult. TIPS: [1] Q into him or away to deny healing from Axe [2] Predict his hook and look to Parry. [3] Rush boots if losing.”

MagicallyDelish4 says “This one of the harder matchups. Try to make him take lane prio so you can freeze the wave and wait for your jungler. E inside of his Qs so he doesn't get the healing and the passive stack. Always wait for the bleed to end to go back in. If he starts Q then level one all in him with a D blade. If he Es your third Q You'll lose the trade. If you're leashing try not to go through tri-bush afterwards.”

Gospodin Bure says “You cant pick fights with Darius and thats period, but he cant fight you either if youre careful enough, so poke with grasp-Q and only go for farm if you have passive up and use the bonus speed to run to safety. If he uses E you can poke him more.”

The CritPlank guide by Gospodin Bure | Gangplank Player

Rhoku says “The Darius matchup can go both ways. You have to keep in mind that you outscale him. So if all else fails, you can simply play safe, give up CS, farm under turret and wait for later on in the game. So the matchup can be Even or just Impossible depending on how good the Darius player is. I myself, almost always crush Mordekaisers when I am on Darius so, believe me when I tell you that if the Darius player knows what he is doing, then you will NOT win the matchup alone. You might need your jungler. Here is the basic idea in this matchup. You need to A) use your full shield and B)fight in your ultimate. If you use your shield improperly, Darius will be able to just burst through it as it wont be that much. And if you fight outside your ultimate or fight him pre-6 you will just get shredderd. INSIDE your ultimate however, is a different story. If you are able to stick to him and hit EVERY single one of your abilities in your ultimate, you WILL kill him. Just make sure that you don't start the fight with stacks on you. In general, you should be looking to disengage whenever he gets any number of stacks on you. You can use the backwards E trick to disengage but good Dariuses will expect and avoid this. Poke him down early on with your Q but DO NOT fight him or let him get hits on you. Level 1 you can beat him if you can land an empowered Q on him but I wouldn't recommend it. He can snowball SO damn hard that it will seriously depress when you see how many times he will kill you. Revitalize and Second Wind are good. Seeker's Armguard and Ninja Tabi are also great. The lane becomes much easier if you have Ignite but if you die with ignite the lane is over. You LEGIT can't comeback.”

clalobaciel says “If Darius manages to get on you and do damage with his 5-stack passive, it is extremely difficult to win unless he messes up or you manage to parry his ult. His damage output is crazy and it's hard to win in lane unless you know what to look for. You have to be able to win early, and if you are ahead enough, fighting him late game shouldn't be too much of a problem. ”

Fan22 says “This lane it's a Nightmare. It's very complicated to do anything, don't try to fight him in early game, since you have no escape, only fight him if you are really sure you can kill him or if you are close to your tower. In this matchup i recommend going AP with a Dorans ring and poking him all you can, having extra AP and mana let's you farm safely with Q from the distance, wich reduces the risk of diying against darius in an extended trade. Remember you can use your Q or W to disengage after he uses E or if he is gonna use R. The W silence doesn't let Darius use Q and R, wich are important abilities, silencing him in TF it's very good for neutralizing him.”

Hecki says “[MAJOR] In my opinion it is a really unfun match-up because you always need to be in the right position against a Darius, espescially if he has Ghost. If you E to far into him or just missstep once he can run you down with Ghost. Try to find max range Q's and keep him at a safe distance until you can all in him with R. Executioner's Calling / Bramble Vest is a good option.”

Fan22 says “Darius is very hard to lane against, doesn't matter what you do, it seems like he is always ahead. First of all, you don't win extended fights, and since Garen wants to hit his enemies with the full duration of judgement it's had to trade at all with Darius. In the early game focus on farming and don't overextended both in lane and fights, if you push the wave too much or go for farm when the wave is nearby his tower he can just drop Ghost and run you down, so be careful and stay as close as you can from your tower. And remember to save Q to disengage when he uses E or W. Post-6 you can kill darius if he missplays since your Ult execute is as (or more) powerful as his, and doesn't have the requirements Darius has.”

Beecai says “RUNA RECOMENDADA: PTA - ESTRATEGIA OFENSIVA.-------- La linea se resume en bailarte un tango con el darius intentando que no te agarre con su E o moriste, Su E te deja ''Stuneado'' el tiempo suficiente como para que su Q te impacte siempre con el borde sin que puedas hacer nada, y si encima te impacta el Básico + W te aplica una ralentización suficiente como para perseguirte hasta tu muerte.-----------Intenta pokearlo tomando tus recaudos y cuando tenga poca vida, asesínalo en caso de que quiera curarse con su Q ponete a rango melé: 1- Para evitar su curación 2-Si intentas irte ''Afuera'' del rango, probablemente flashee y se salve, pero si te acercas a melé de todas formas no te impactara, y aunque luego de eso flashee podrás alcanzarlo para asesinarlo.”

NeroZYN says “If played incorrectly, Darius can stomp you. Any slight miss positioning and you can easily die. You need to be able to dash into his Q to reduce the damage taken , and to fully commit to the fight. Do not try and kite away from him! His E is also buggy (in my opinion) making it really hard to dodge. Other than that, the matchup is actually very easy.”

CFCryo says “Representative of the typical BIG JUGGERNAUT TOP, Darius has huge damage when you get caught. This is an example of someone you should probably take Aftershock for. For Darius specifically, use Flay (E) to push him towards you, pulling yourself inside of the Q circle. Pushing him away from you takes too long, and he's likely moving away from you already, perfectly landing you in the outer circle. If you die once, don't try anything funny again, or it won't just be once.”

DarkyTheReal says “Good Darius are hard to beat because they don't use their E for a gap closer, they use it to cancel your 3rd Q. What you want to do is level 1 if you both have ignite, and he starts Q, You can all in and you'll win if you dodge his outside part of the Q. Otherwise, you should do quick trades where you bait his E, Then you go for an all-in.”

Kartagoo says “One of the Best if not THE BEST Counter for Garen. Careful for his Lv 1 Brush cheese if you walk to lane! Rather go around it past the Krugs. Get Lv 2 before him try to get an early Lead against him before he's Lv 3. Don't trade too much and don't let him get 5 stacks of his Passive. Even with a lead RESPECT his All-in potential if you are in the middle of the lane or further and has ghost he wants to All-in everytime and you are gonna die everytime. So if you are ending up pushing to hard rather lose some CS (Minions) and let him Push him into your Tower. Get Tabi's early. I rly kid you not, you and your team have it much easier killing a 0 3 Darius than a 3 0 One! if you are very behind or have only 1 kill go for Black Cleaver Rush so your team can later burst him down easier.”

And you deal free damage so dont q out (this only applies if you can hit vital, rather q out if vital is in a bad position). If you are too low, of course you should q away from him. Parry his w instead of e, because his w is easier to parry and it will give him one his passive stacks, his e wont!! His ult is strong, he can kill you with it no matter your lead. Dont dive. Also, his e has 24 seconds cd until he skills it level 8.”

SettVEVO says “Skill matchup and snowball central. TAKE IGNITE, he will take ghost 99% of the time, this means he has an extra combat spell against you, and he will be MUCH HARDER to face if you bring teleport. If you bring ignite you no longer are weaker than him, you are even or maybe even stronger, that is if you land your abilities. DO NOT GO FOR EXTENDED TRADES. Dodging his Q is essential to win anything against Darius, it is huge damage and huge heals in one spell, thankfully you can E and ult him to avoid it. The only time you take extended trades against him is if you have ignite up and he is forcing a trade. In an extended trade ignite as soon as you see his Q or if he is low enough. Darius' are really cocky and think they can 1v1 anybody. Once he gets ult you really want to use your W wisely and only use it when he ults unless you need to use it earlier.”

Eternae says “Darius players usually will do everything to gain the lead with a fight at level 1, because their W combined with their passive gives them a heavy advantage at start.

Just farm safely and try to keep the wave under control later. He will be on the downside once you have Bramble Vest and a nice engage on him. You must not win this lane to win the game it's Darius. You can control the wave by letting him Q the wave, he has no tp so you can get chunked and tp back. His harass on you will reset the wave back to you. TAKE GRASP HERE”

wff010 says “You should win this matchup post six but before then here are some tips: You generally win this fight unless the darius kites you with ghost which is pretty cancer. Try to dodge his Q by Q'ing right into him and hit him as much as possible till he dies. Save E W to finish him off. Later on, you can save your W to cuck his ult. This is a volatile matchup so if you want you can play it safe by just farming under tower and asking jg for ganks.”

LoLReal says “Hard lane early levels, do not go for extended trades with him. Once we are 6 we can all in and win if lane has not gotten out of hand. Ignite is very good in this match up because snowballing is critical. Don't get behind in this match up or we won't win.”

qosmox says “Try to go forward baiting for his Q and backing off without getting hit whenever you can. If Q is on CD, then you can go for short trades, blocking his W with your W and getting out of there asap. Never do extended trades in this match-up except if he's already low and you KNOW you can kill him before he kills you. If you’re in the middle of a trade that looks good for you HP-wise, then once he starts Q’ing, E inside the middle of it to deny most of the dmg and all of the healing.”

SanLourdes says “Darius has been nerfed in terms of mobility, but recently buffed in damage and his E cooldown to compensate. This honestly makes him even harder for Sion to deal with than before. His sheer damage output makes him hard to deal with. Bait out his E so he can't pull you and interrupt your Q. If you scale, he shouldn't be that big of a threat. Don't duel him when he has his passive stacked. Use your Q only when his E is on cooldown. If you stun him, you can usually defeat him with some help because most of his defense is sustain which will be unavailable if he is CCed. Thornmail is immensely important in this matchup. Darius is a great ban in lower elo.”

CucumberSandwich says “Very hard matchup due to Darius' potential as a lane bully. Don't trade before 6. Try to bait our his Q or E before looking for an engage. You want to be on the inside of his Q when trading to take minimal damage.”

Drygur says “If you fight Darius you need to stay on top of him while he is channeling his (Q), if you get hit by the blade you will be in danger. Also Darius' Apprehend (E) gives him the opportunity to ruin the flow of your combo by pulling you out of your 3rd (Q), since he can react to the animation beginning, !! Only fire your 3rd (Q) if he is stunned by your Ki Burst (W) !! If you fall behind in this lane it will feel terrible, but the same goes for him! BRING THE RESOLVE PAGE, or the aggressive page with ignite.”

RainAndBow says “After stridebreaker nerf, he is more manageable late game. He is still ridiculous to play against early. Take Phase Rush, try to blind him when he uses W. This is difficult as he usually does E-Auto-W which cannot really be stopped. Play very safe against the Darius.”

Lost Chapter says “Do your best to dodge the outside of his Q so he does not heal and you don't get bursted. Try to kite him so he doesn't stack his passive and doesn't one tap you with ult. At lvl 6 you should win the fight as long as you dodge his Q's and kite well enough.”

Saesame says “Easy Lane. Learn to Q-out perfectly to dodge his E near the start of the animation. (Might be the reason I have a 75%+ wr against him?) Respect his W-slow/E-W Combo. His W slow is a death sentence. Don't let him Q-Heal your clone. He scales but you scale harder - as long as you don't int to him. Learn his E range so you know whether you need to Q or not... bait it out and dodge it with movement speed if possible.”

ForgottenProject says “I actually this this is a good matchup for Gwen. Every Gwen player is banning Darius for no reason, you use your E to dash into him when he goes for a Q.

Safolet says “In my opinion, this match depends on who plays better. Darius has the E to get closer to you, Gnar has the E to jump, but Darius also has the Ghost to run faster and thus catch up with you. I usually play pretty safe but trying to tease with Q and basic attacks to make it difficult for Darius to farm. In MegaGnar I almost always try to hit with the W or R to get away from him and thus keep my distance so that when I become MiniGnar I can annoy him from afar.”

AlanVenator says “Darius is considered to be a lane bully, he is no exception against Urgot. The key to winning this matchup is survive the early game. Use your E every time he tries to grab you. Play safe and try to freeze the wave. After level 6, you can kill him on your own if you play it well. Since he is an inmobile champion you can easily kill him every time with the help of your jungler so ping help every time your ultimate is up. If you don't fall behind, once you get Black Cleaver + lvl 9 it's free win. Do not let him snowball early game!!! If he doesn't build tabis he is quite squishy.”

Urgot Detailed Guide + Itemisation by AlanVenator | Urgot Player

SethPRG says “You should only ever be careful of Darius level 1, and if he has ignite or ghost. His all-in potential is scary, but you beat him if you punch him, literally. When Darius is about to use his Q, that's your signal to E him so you get put in the center, both avoiding the damage and bleed. If he W slows you before using Q, it's not the end of the world, and if you are level 6 you can just ult him during that anyways to dodge his Q. If he tries to ult you, you can ult him to cancel his ult, but you can't watch for the animation, you just have to predict it or else it will still hit you. If you're not about to kill him and are above 3 stacks of his bleed, you should try to move towards your turret, and if he still sticks on you and you don't think you will be able to reach your turret without getting 5 stacks and taking way too much damage, or just dying, keep fighting. No matter what you beat him at all stages of the game unless his passive is fully up and he outplays you. His only real threat to you is his Q heal from 5 stacks (which you can have 60% mitigated of from itemizing properly) and the nearly 1k true damage from his ult late game. You need to focus him first, ult him into his team so you can also simultaneously gap close on the ADC without Darius being a threat to run down your team. Trinity Force is the best way to keep steamrolling Darius so he never has a chance to fight back, but you'll want to get Bramble on your first back, and build Plated Steelcaps if you are behind or have completed your Mythic item. Take Death's Dance second item if there are more than 2 AD, otherwise build it 3rd, and eventually build a Sterak's Gage to survive his ult burst Mid-Late game.”

His pull is something to make sure you dodge.

Godidi says “I consider Darius a skill matchup, the better player wins. Unlike garen, Darius has a good way to engage, and, since most dariuses take ghost, whenever he wants, he can just run at you, E and do a full combo. But if you are aware of that and kite properly and blinding when he goes for a W, since he will only be able to get 1 Hemmorage Stack (from his Q) or none (if he misses the edge), his ult wont do you much other than mildly inconvenience you. That said, still be careful as Darius is Darius so he may still be able to kill you even though he missed his W and has no range/mobility.”

Be unpredictable in your movements so he can't land Q. Take short trades from level 3 with e into q stun auto and w. Bramble rush into tier 2 boots helps with dodging q and reducing his healing. Early health stacking will be beneficial as his R true damage is a flat number.”

NPGRiven says “Honestly this matchup isn't extremely hard, but you can be punished very easily. Which is why I have put it so high up on the scale. When he uses Q you always want to make sure you step inside of him to avoid getting hit by his outer Q, as Riven this isn't that hard. Level 1 you are able to all-in him if he starts Q, if he starts W, don't bother. Never trade into him if he already has some bleed stacks on you, wait out the stacks before going in. The best thing to do is freeze near your tower, Darius can run you down in lane very easily, and will take ghost like 75% of the time.”

deathwalker7119 says “One of Fiora's harder matchups, once you learn this matchup it becomes much easier but at first it will feel horrible. Take ignite usually, plus the nimbus cloak page. If you are both full hp, do NOT parry the E, it is a death sentence. He will just auto you and run you down once hes out of stun. Parry his empowered auto (W) because it is a large chunk of undodgeable damage that comes with a big slow that will fuck you. Most fights will play out one of two ways: A bad darius will walk up and Q to take a free trade, if this happens, instantly Q into him. He will then E you (this is fine) but immediately parry after the E knockup is done because this will parry his auto after the E (which is usually his W). From here, look to constantly Q into his Qs as he can't heal, make sure to pop your ignite early so that if you fuck up a Q he doesn't heal to 50% hp and kill you for free. The other Darius player is the good darius player, he will look to walk up and start with E or W. You need to study how they play because every Darius main plays a little differently. Some Darius players will go E > W > Q, some will W > E > Q, some will W > Q > e, and some will E > Q > W. either way, you simply need to Q into his Q and parry the W, or he will fuck you. You can also use your Q to dodge his E with prediction if he is one of the Darius players who holds his E for after his auto > w.”

Humitaxx says “Darius is required to get close and damage you a lot, for any regular build this would be fatal, but if you go with the tank build, you just need to endure until your W is charged up so you can stun and kill him with the burst damage of your W and then shield bash, don't get cocky tho, since he can still execute you if you get low enough with all stacks and get ahead easily to the point this will not work as intended”

Womsky says “Scaling set up with doran's shield/long sword start, A boring ass lane if knows what he is doing, if he has no ignite you can trade lvl 1 with fury, its just about punishing his cds especially if he misses E, but over all a hard lane cause you get punished by half of your health bar if u mess up while his mistakes goes on unchecked mostly, the higher you get in elo the worst it gets, cause any gank/disturbance in wave which causes the lane to push for him could be fatal, and darius players learn to wave control well and punish there over extended enemies, just scale and farm if you see no chances of a kill, especislly if he rushes tabies like a rat, if the wave starts pushing into him you can look to trade some of your hp to make him push the wave, which is by letting him auto you or Q the wave to make him push you in, a very good way to get back the wave into your favour if it gets messy.”

RealIreliaCarriesU says “Avoid fighting him at lvl 1 since you won’t have passive, start e and let him push you in. E him after he autos you so that your creeps target him. Once it pushes to tower stack your passive and look for fights, especially since it will be pushing back and you will have exp advantage over him. Don’t be afraid to fight him even if he looks spooky. Make sure he has no boneplating before all-inning him and land your E before you go in AND make sure you have passive. Save your last Q for his Q, spam your Q when they pull you if they are charging his Q. If you don’t get hit by his outer Q you will typically win, same goes later levels however I would avoid fighting him after 3 items if you are not ahead of him since it will take you too long to kill him and he will get his passive. ”

I think if you are a newer to the champ this match up can be a nightmare but the way you win this match up is by kiting him with q. If he q just walk into him melee and then q and walk away. If he e same thing just q and walk away. If he e and then ghost just ult him. Go into practice tool and practice doing a fast ult that knocks them away. If you get good at it you can ult him away before he can really react. Cannot remember the last time I have lost this match up and people pick into me all the time.”

SadmanV3 says “Darius is not a great matchup for Nasus. Any Darius worth their salt will understand that to win the game, pressuring Nasus early, punishing him hard is the key to victory. However, any Nasus worth their salt will also understand that simply staying alive and not getting punished too hard will lead to a long-term victory for them. Nasus in this matchup generally needs to freeze the lane extremely close to the tower. Bait Darius into [[Decimating]] your minion wave to get it to push forward, closer to your tower use [[Spirit Fire]] to prevent minion wave crashes. Most importantly, don't ever get hooked by Darius, you can do his by staying behind minions whilst his hook is up.”

Focus on keeping your CS up and don't call for jg. Good Darius' can 1v2 jg + Ekko, especially when he has stridebreaker and R. Eventually at mid-late game you won't have to deal with him that much and will have to instead focus on 1 shotting the enemy back line, not Darius.

painkillertop says “Darius could easily be an ‘extreme’ on the matchup rankings however with a bit of patience and smart positioning you can win this matchup. When playing against Darius you are highly likely to be trading often therefore start the game with a Dorans blade and a pot. Be very careful during the early levels as his bleed stacks can easily cause the lane to go south for both you and your jungler! Whenever Darius uses his Q ‘Decimate’ you need to use your E either as an escape or to get within the circle hitbox in order to prevent taking any damage. A personal preference of mine is to get an early executioners in order to reduce the healing he gets from his Q. In an even lane with Black cleaver and Executioners you WIN this matchup (again post level 9) but you also have a good shot at winning from level 6 onwards. ”

Darius is a really strong champ during laning phase, and a powerful champ over that. - Parry his E and you can try to trade him. -If you can't parry his E, then parry just after he grabs you so you deny a W (wait just a bit because he launches an AA before a W.). -If he's about to ult you, you can obviously parry his R. -You can dash into him when he is using Q to deny his heal, but running in the opposite direction is an idea. Be patient and wait for an opportunity to go into him. Craft boots early because he's fast.”

Hope that Darius goes for a level 1 cheese. *As long as you get the first auto,* you'll almost always win this fight with Ignite. If he autos first, there's a possibility he can outplay you and get his passive activated early enough for him to win the all-in. If you predict the cheese and you're the first one to auto, you'll win the all-in easily. Besides that, he really can't be much of a problem. Be extremely aggressive. Don't back off when he uses his Q, or else he'll heal. Note that if you have 3 stacks and he uses his Q, you can use Devour to pull him in so you get hit by the handle instead.”

SanLourdes says “Darius is a tough champion especially after level 6. He is beefy, deals fat damage and his ultimate can execute you at low health. Your best bet is to initiate first, don't let him start the duel. This makes sure that he can't use his E, and since you are staying close to him, his Q will deal reduced damage. Don't build Divine Sunderer!!! Attack speed is even more important against Darius because you want your initiations to be as short as possible and Divine Sunderer lacks in attack speed but makes up for in sustain. f you give him extended fights he will be able to stack his passive which will make it so much harder to duel with him, which is why sustain is not the best way to defeat Darius. He is not a full on tank but more of a bruiser, so build Tri-Force and Black Cleaver.”

For this match try to poke him as much as you can, DO NOT FIGHT HIM IN ANY FORM; he will win most of the trades and even kill you bc 99% of the time they bring ignite. Try to dodge his E to not get slow and try to survive lane. You don't win the match even as mega because he can extend the trade on you and in lvl 6 he also hits his power spike so just survive lane ”

The_Real_Wickd says “Darius is one of Shen's absolutely biggest nightmares. Playing against him will make you rip your hair out. You have to be extremely careful once you meet this guy on the rift. Often he will be running Flash and Ghost which is the scariest combination. If he got Flash and Ghost it's absolutely crucial that you never push him. If you are pushing he will run you down with Ghost and you're going to die every single time. Allow him to push you under tower and focus on safely farming. If you want to kill Darius it's important that you coordinate a gank with the jungler. You can only win 2v1, but be careful of 2v2 scenarios. It's a much easier matchup if he's running Flash and Teleport. In that case you can kinda play the lane however you want.”

ChaseMorePlz says “Remember that If you dodge his Q is prevents his heal. Keep in mind when playing against Darius that his Q will do significantly less damage when you're close to him. Basically, When you do a fast combo and you get all of your autos & abilities off you have the potential to out damage him in trades early on. Watch out for his E during ganks it has an annoyingly long range. It's a good idea to bait his Q out before you trade and slowly poke him down. ”

ChaseMorePlz says “He does a lot of damage early game with his bleed so don't fight, trade or cs near him unless his abilities are down. You can stand in the center of his Q Decimate, the ability when he swings his axe in a circle to do damage. He is very immobile. Also has a rather long ranged pull on his E that you need to stay away from. Other than that, the matchup is easy and you can kill him with good stacks, farming and wave management. I like to play this matchup smart by not dying.”

DONT PUT A POINT INTO YOUR ABILITIES YET, HE MIGHT TRY TO CHEESE, GO W IF HE WALKS UP AND STARTS AUTOING YOU. You need to rush plated steelcaps to lane against him. After you get bork you can beat him pretty easily if played correctly. If you are in shitters low bring ignite, if you are in like plat + you can bring ghost. The reason darius is even is because you both are bullies, if he gets a lead on you, its over. You can't push. However if YOU get a lead, he can't push. Try to use your R to dodge his Q. Also make sure to use your E to dodge his Q. Save W for his R. ”

If he is agreesive and wants to ulti right after passive is stacked, make sure to not use E during the fight and you'll have enough shield to sustain.”

HoftheGreed says “Darius aunque puede parecer bastante intimidante, no es un campeón del que debamos preocuparnos tanto en Early si tenemos control de nuestras habilidades, se podría considerar mas que nada un duelo de Skills ya que aunque pueda infligir gran cantidad de daño por su pasiva, podríamos ganar un 1v1 a nv1 su subimos primero nuestra W, o con la misma W bien cargada mitigar una ulti con 5 acumulaciones por parte de Darius aparte de hacerle gran cantidad de daño. Principalmente hay que tener cuidado de no curarlo cuando use su Q, usualmente su combo es usar su E para acercarte a el, luego la W para ralentizarle y alejarse un poco para curarse y hacer daño con su Q, en el momento que nos jale podemos aprovechar si estamos cerca de minions enemigos para usar inmediatamente nuestra E y ya sea ralentizarlo para que al menos no se cure con la Q y haga menos daño (además de que no nos meterá ninguna acumulación con la Q) o aturdirlo y tradearlo antes de que el lo haga y salir un poco ilesos con la W si es que se cargó bastantito para darle aun mas daño. Todo dependerá de tu habilidad jugando Sett y también la habilidad del otro jugando Darius.”

Obvious, reckless mistakes can let him make a comeback, so play safe even with the advantage. Anti-heal might be a good idea. Main tips: Don't get into long trades pre-6, he wins those. You win with bursts. When he uses Q, come closer to him, the inner circle of his Q deals way less damage and you also are now closer to punish him for his foolishness.”

lolkayleee says “SCROLL DOWN FOR DETAILED MATCHUP INFORMATION I prefer Conqueror but you can also take Grasp. Start W. Let him push the wave to your side of the lane. Don't even stand next to him because he can cancel your hookshot with his E and then you're dead. If he pulls you first, then auto him for your passive shield and hookshot away. If your jungler camps top he's a pretty free kill. Even if he lives and burns his ghost it removes a lot of kill threat he has on Camille. If your jungler never comes you pretty much lose unless he messes up a lot. If you mess up one time you're dead lol. If you manage to be relatively even in gold and you have the conqueror rune + trinity force while he has stridebreaker you can kill him. Wait for him to waste Q, then all in him with hookshot and dodge his next Q with your R. He should die.”

Raideru says “This matchup is a bit more tricky, it's mostly skill wise whenever Darius tries to q u either try staying inside of him or jumping on him directly to deny the heal afterwards using your counter strike after he attempts to auto you and then just walk away.

Farm under your tower and look to Q + W + AA on him and then E out. He is unable to respond so it's free damage. You can look to all in him at level 6 after a few of these trades and it's practically a guarenteed kill. ”

narsil reforged says “Pegue barreira. A não ser que você vacile muito ao ponto de levar dano da metade exterior do Q do Darius, a matchup é surpreendentemente fácil. O segredo da matchup é utilizar o q pra "entrar" na metade inferior da girada do machado dele, anulando a cura e fazendo-o deixar de obter um stack. Trocando auto-ataques com ele e ficando esperto pra usar o Uivo Primitivo quando ele der o slow do W, você come o bonecão na porrada. A barreira é mais pra garantir mesmo, caso você faça caquinha ou ele resolva dar um dogashow montage de flash+W Se ele vacilar e deixar você pegar level 2 mais ou menos no mesmo tempo que ele, upe o w instantaneamente, ative-o e corra pra forçar o flash do Bonecão. Cuidado com o mid game na side contra ele, por conta do Quebrapassos. ”

NoxianBlood says “Darius always wins lane against Sion if you manage to solo Darius in Lane with Sion the Darius is definitely doing something wrong, just play passive and try to farm with your abilities in a way so he can't reach you with his grab, once you survive laning phase and got Sterak First item, and Warmog, and Titanic, you should be fine in team fights since Darius can't deal Max health damage, so he will deal just flat damage so stacking allot of HP and shields with make his all in useless just don't stay too long in fight he may not have Max Health damage, but he still deals a lot of damage, and has armor penetration, so HP will make you survive just the all in the team fight, also don't make him stack 5 on you, cause he will switch target and wipe out all your squishies and leave you useless for last.”

AWierdShoe says “Try to go forward baiting for his Q and backing off without getting hit whenever you can. If Q is on cooldown, then you can go for short trades, blocking his W with your W and getting out of there ASAP. Never do extended trades in this match-up except if he's already low and you KNOW you can kill him before he kills you. If you’re in the middle of a trade that looks good for you HP-wise, then once he starts his Q, E inside the middle of it to deny most of the damage and all of the healing.”

I Am Goliath says “Very hard since darius does super well against tank characters. He can also cancel your Q with his E so keep that in mind. It's not super easy for him to kill you but it's practically impossible to kill him in this lane, so try your best to just survive and scale up, use your ult to get other lanes ahead. If he ever gets a few stacks on you just back off of him.”

TrinityForceYasuo says “Darius is a big bully in lane. Try to punish him for the minions level as much as you can. If you do so lvl 2 if he uses his Q and fails it go in for a trade/all-in, if he didnt use his Q till then and he does after you are in combat with him do not dash onto him untill he uses Q so when he does use it dash on him to deny the heal and take much less dmg. If you fail early you shouldnt really be able to win against him later in the lane expect if you get camped. Try tom avoid at all cost not to give him 5 stacks because after that you wont win.Dash around the minion wave when there is a big one and try to kite him. If he gets 3 to 4 stacks onto you kite so the stacks will go away and then you can go back in for a trade. Good darius players might avoid all that stuff and just smash you in lane. If they play with teleport don't be that afraid, but if he does play with ghost its really scary, one mistake and you are dead, he will run you down and you wont escape.”

NickCola Tesla says “As a Darius main, there is zero way for a competent Darius to lose this lane. Go the tank rune setup designed for ranged matchups, since you don't even want to get into AA range of him. Or, take Arcane Comet and purchase a Doran's Ring if you want to poke at him more, and consider maxing your E first. Once you begin stacking armor, you can CONSIDER stepping up to melee range to CS more appropriately, but I would still just give up anything past the halfway point towards his tower, even if you're playing from range. Check the "high threat matchups" section for greater detail!”

Updated Builds and Mythics: Working on core item description by NickCola Tesla | Diamond Sion Player

StrikeX114 says “Darius' main threat comes in his passive, Apprehend (E), and his ultimate. Be careful to maintain a safe distance from him, and he won't be much of a threat towards you until his first major item spike. To counter him, you may want to consider running double armor runes (for a total of 12 extra armor) to mitigate his damage.”

Saarlichenbog says “Darius can be super oppressive in lane but can be won with proper knowledge and execution of the matchup. As a ranged champion, Darius relies on pulling you in with his E to pull off his combo. It can be extremely tempting to move up in lane for creeps but you will most likely get run down by Darius who typically takes a combination of Ghost and Nimbus Cloak which makes it impossible to escape his E. Spacing between each other and freezing the wave properly under your tower will limit Darius's ability to bully you in lane until you outscale him at 3 items.”

OBS: deixe seu jungler de lado a maior parte do tempo do contrario será um double kill.”

TheMightyNinja says “Passive : his passive deals damage over time and can be stacked up to 5 times, his passive can be triggered by basic attacks, his Q or his W. Notice that reaching 5 stacks will also boost his damage. Q :After a 0.75 seconds delay he spins in a circle damaging enemies, if any enemy champions are hit Darius heals himself 15% of his missing health for every champion hit up to 45%. To win the matchup you must not let him hit this ability by any means, you can counter it by using E/Flash inside/outside the circle depending on the situation. W: slows enemies hit by 90% for 1 second, it is also a basic attack reset, you can block it with your W and it is noticeable by a red blade spinning on the middle of his axe and a sound effect. E : If his E hits will pull you towards him...meh!? R : Darius will execute any champion that is low enough on health and has 5 stacks of his passive on it, do not try to block that with your ultimate because it deals true damage and it will bypass your shield resulting in you wasting your ultimate. Do not fight him at level 1, specially if he has ghost/ignite+W, try to notice wich skill he got 1st. Do not let him get xp advantage, from level 2 let him engage you can make short trades with grasp + empowered Q as long as you don't get hit by his Q. From level 3 use your W to block his W and make sure you back before he gets 5 stacks of passive on you. If he gets as low as half hp and wastes any cooldown you can kill him with a long trade. To win a long trade with Darius you must be sure that you utilise your passive to the fullest potential, that means your 1st ability that you use in that trade must hit him, either Q or E to get shorter cooldown on passive and trigger it twice in the trade!!!!! ”

Of winning the game is by splitpushing and helping your team, the tryndbuffs may have changed this, but so far he is so powerful, that you can't 1v1 him, if he plays properly with conqueror and ghost. With lucky crits, your Q buff, maybe some damage from dblade, you can all in him, if you get an advantage, say a level advantage by pushing or a wave advantage. Try to get him to hit you in your wave, it should allow you to get some more DPS to use against him.”

Dodge his q with e and use shroud if he pulls u so he doesn't auto attack you for free.”

Lenter says “Don't try to kill him if Darius knows what he is doing. If he has a nice skin and you see that he is building correct then watch out, just outscale him by farming under your turret. Be even more careful if he is running ignite. Ask jungler to apply pressure. ”

Frostyfps says “Avoid fighting him at lvl 1 since you won’t have passive, start e and let him push you in. E him after he autos you so that your creeps target him. Once it pushes to tower stack your passive and look for fights, especially since it will be pushing back and you will have exp advantage over him. Don’t be afraid to fight him even if he looks spooky. Make sure he has no boneplating before all-inning him and land your E before you go in AND make sure you have passive. Save your last Q for his Q, spam your Q when they pull you if they are charging his Q. If you don’t get hit by his outer Q you will typically win, same goes later levels however I would avoid fighting him after 3 items if you are not ahead of him since it will take you too long to kill him and he will get his passive.”

Time1Save says “After patch 10.25, it becomes difficult to avoid unfavorable LVL 1-2 trades. But if you play well you will never give him the opportunity to kill you on the line, block his R with your E, and never panic. So delay the moment when it outscales you, as long as you can. But as long as you play with an advantage, you have to give your team an advantage as well .”

Luceris says “Standard Glacial Runes Build Duskblade or Trinity Force This is a fairly easy matchup. You outrange all of his abilities with base auto range. His E is 575 range, which is 25 less than your range. So unless you play your range wrong he cannot get to you unless he uses Flash or Ghost. Glacial is to make sure he does not get onto you once he has his Trinity Force, and so that you can run him down the lane. The only reason this is not a Minor Lane is due to his insane damage if he lands an E. Just stay out of E range and get to 20 stacks and then the lane is super free.”

SnarkyAlpaca says “I'll give Darius a 4 even though he could easily be a 2 once you learn to deal with him. Early game trades are entirely centered around quick trades and getting out. All Darius players want to "Q" you with his AoE ability that adds a stack of his bleed. The counter to this is that if you see him start to swing his "Q" animation, quickly stand on top of him and while you'll still take damage it won't add his Bleed Effect and it won't hurt as much. You'll win almost all trades if you duck inside of his "Q".”

If he pulls you, you can disengage and deal some damage with Q and W. Remember that he only heals on the outside area of his spin, so once you're ranged you can use this to kite him and deny his heal.”

ERNESTSAURUS says “GRASP (SCALING) BUT INSTEAD OF PRESENCE OF MIND AND BLOODLINE, GO BISCUITS DELIVERY TIME WARP TONIC - CLOTH ARMOR + 4 POTS = Darius is another really hard matchup for Nasus, a good Darius will beat you in every stage of the game regardless of your build and stacks and I highly recommend permabanning him in case you want to climb only with Nasus. In case you have another permaban and you get to fight him, I recommend rushing tabi's regardless of the team unless the team is 4 AP and Darius. Nowadays Darius players will play with Nimbus Cloak + Celerity with Ghost and Dorans Blade, but there is a slight problem with this, he struggles in short trades, so to effectively trade against him, look to bait his E and then E + Q with Grasp proc once you get around 130 stacks. If you punish his E cooldown consistanly you will be able to leave him low enough were he has to back or you can allin him, also when fighting him in every scenario, you have to look to burst him, if he is allowed to stack his passive on someone and then spam Ults, its a guaranteed loss since you will be behind in this matchup. As for early laning phase, just play as safe as you can, get in XP range while hiding in bushes. This is one of the most possible and harder matchups for Nasus and again, i highly recommend banning him. Don't be upset if you are 40+ minions behind him early on, it's the nature of this matchup.”

PH45 says “Another really difficult lane. Darius is a lane bully against most melee laners and Sylas is no exception. Poke with your Q but don't get caught in his pull or you'll probably die. Darius has no escapes outside his summoners so keep your vision up and ask your jungler to gank. After a few deaths Darius will be pretty weak and you shouldn't be as afraid of him anymore if he is behind. Tabis are really valuable in this matchup.”

Tauricus2017 says “Ok Darius is very strong champion I admit it but If you are playing Poppy, Nothing can go wrong. When you get pulled do not panic! try to stay inside or outside of Dariuses Decimate (Q). To help yourself with it you can use Heroic Charge (E) or Steadfast Presence (W). Also do not let him to stack his Hemorrhage (PAS.) on you or he might kill you with ease. Sometimes you can even bait his Apprehend (E) and then you have got 15 sec. of serenity.”

Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash OR Ghost + Flash. Dorans Shield start. Darius has very strong all in trades and his passive when stacked 5 times (stacks every auto attack and when he hits his q on the outer edge and his ultimate) gives him a lot of attack damage and does damage over time to you. Darius can use multiple keystones, starting items, and starting abilities. Darius with Q start is strong for early clear to get level 2 first, Darius with W start will look to take trades with you when you walk up for minions. Biggest thing to pay attention is they keystone + summoner spells. Ghost+Flash darius with conqueror has extremely good all in and if you are caught too far in the lane with a pull he can usually burn your summoners and then kill you as well. If this darius pulls you at a bad time for you, your best hope is to turn on him and all in and pray for crits. TP + Flash Darius with aftershock can be abused early if you take ignite, whether he starts q or w is irrelevant because your allin can be stronger then his so look to build fury and get level 2 first and all in him. Ignite + Flash darius with conqueror you basically just let him push you in and only farm don't trade. This is the strongest early game setup on darius to punish early but it falls off later since he can't kite you as well without ghost. The darius matchup in general is a lot about punishing cooldowns on his q and finding spots to take short trades with an auto attack + spin out without being forced into an all in by being pulled. Tryndamere does outscale this matchup in the mid-late game 1v1, but can be hard to dive him 100-0 so if you find yourself in that situation where he is just sitting under turret, then push him in and look for opportunities to outrotate him with your superior out of combat mobility and flank his team.”

I Am Goliath says “Darius has a big con which is being kited and that's what Gnar is good at doing so this matchup should be fairly easy, the only thing you have to look out for is if he ever gets on you somehow you're probably toast if you're in mini because of squishy you are and how strong his kit is, although like I said you can kite him really well, and once you get frozen mallet I don't think he can do much to you. Remember that your auto range is about his E range so if he ever pulls you in just e away and keep kiting him, he doesn't have another way to get onto you unless he has flash or ghost up.”

Nabura says “Make him annoyed by constantly using Q just outside his E range. If you haven't fallen behind until 6 then the lane becomes very easy. If he uses Q inside the wave it'll make the wave push towards you.”

I Am Goliath says “This matchup is usually lose lane win game. My tips for playing against darius is to be very smart with your W, as long as you have this up he should never really be able to kill you as long as you land it, this is another lane where you want to survive the early game because he won't win 1v1 against you in the split late game and darius sucks in teamfights as well, he also doesn't have an easy way to kill your ghouls in lane so you can punish him with those whenver you have graves up, other tips for playing against darius are to try to bait out his pull and try to dodge the healing part of the Q you can do this by either walking into him or just trying to dodge it completely. Just remember as long as you have your W up you always have a way to trap him in should you need to run.”

Sub Runes: CDR, Damage, Armor Summoners: Ignite or Teleport Darius is a one sided skill matchup in Darius's favor. That bleed, that god damn bleed. Anyway, you CAN win this matchup however, you have to know Darius's damage compared to your own. Depending on what Darius starts will determine when you can trade. He started Q? You can trade lvl 1 if he missed you with his Q. Started W? Can't trade until lvl 3. Started E? Why? Whatever, if he misses his pull you can go in at any lvl and win. Also, what summoners he took are a big part of the matchup too. Ignite? Do short trades and burst him down when low. TP? Try to keep him in lane as long as possible by short trading. Ghost? Just don't fight him. Honestly, you can't kite him. If not confident, just freeze the wave and look for TP. ”

I personally start to fight darius around lvl 9, when you have about 150 stacks, then its safe to fight him if you have stacked up CDR. You can choose what to max, if you cant sidestep his Q, max W, if you want to deal more dmg to him, max E to the third rank. Then after lvl 11 go back to maxing W”

Don't get used to Q him, and if you do, try to get it at max range, and when his E is on cooldown. Do NOT take extended trades. Poke him and avoid every single Q or don't fight him.

qazx1427 says “This is why I first picked up Yorick. This is why a big chunk of Yorick mains play Yorick. It's so, so satisfying to watch an enemy Darius spam 'EZ' after getting completely stomped in lane, unable to contest as the 10/0 Yorick takes their inhib at 15 minutes. Darius just cannot fight you. You throw ghouls at him, his axe swing misses them. If he's in your W, you can Q him without being caught by his hook. If he manages to stack his passive on you, you can just put him in the spooky baby cage and tell him to calm down while you recover. This is such a beautiful, wonderful lane, made better by how you know, you just know, that they're crying about how Darius is meta and should be a free win. ”

HIGH TEST TOP88 says “You shouldn't lose this unless you play horribly, you outdamage him in autoattack trades due to passive, you can dodge his Q for free with your E and he has no mobility to dodge your W. You will die fast if you waste your spells however, and respect his ghost allin potential. You win super easily when you get blade of the ruined king. Build bramble eventually. Take armor.”

Twist21 says “Darius is a champion that can beat most melee champions in 1v1 due to his tanky itemization options and his passive.Against Darius we want to avoid getting hit by his E and we also want to dodge his Q with our E by going inside it.After that you will be able to kill him. I would take flash ghost with LT Resolve Runes into this matchup.”

ERNESTSAURUS says “GRASP (SCALING) SETUP BUT INSTEAD OF PRESENCE OF MIND AND BLOODLINE, GO FOR SECOND WIND REVITALIZE - DORANS - CLOTH ARMOR + 4 POTS Darius is a real menace to Nasus, he has a lot of damage with conqueror and his passive stacked up, he gets a lot of armor penetration with his E passive, he can kite you really well with Nimbus Cloak, Celerity and Ghost, overall its a really difficult matchup for nasus and i recommend to permaban him if your not that experienced with the matchup. I recommend to allin him whenever his Ghost and E are down, Since he wont get the movement speed to outkite you and then he cant get the autoreset with E, leaving him with the Q heal and the autoatack reset of W. Look to burst him, usually Darius players will go for trinity force first item for the base movement speed (+7%) it provides and the Sheen proc, so whenever he doesnt have ghost and E, you all in and try to burst him as quickly as possible, ask your jungle to help you, if you fall behind, its really difficult to beat him since his ult deals a lot of true damage.”

Dreadscythe95 says “He falls behind Kayle late game but he can turn her life into a nightmare for most of the game. Kayle can't punish him effectively when she turns ranged and his passive means that one small mistep and Kayle is dead, even with ultimate up. If he is an experienced Darius and he takes Phase Rush as well, it's probably gg for your lane.”

Shumair says “Darius is a pain to deal with. You have to play laning phase slowly. Throughout lane try to whittle him down with your Q at max range. Your Q outranges his e slightly and his Q has a delay. However, due to the recent buffs to ghost, he can pop it then immediately E-W you. Due to this I would recommend that you play safe and outscale, even if you lose cs. You can fight him at around level 10 and win if you're even. Ask for jungle assistance if you're not sure about an all-in.”

wallobear53 says “His healing mostly comes from the edge of his Q so moving into his champion model or away from him stops him from getting the heal on the edge. Darius' Passive stacks up over time through his Auto-attacks or his Q. Be cautious to not let it keep stacking as it will build up to a lot of damage and will be a good way to finish you off in an extended fight. He has a strong early game skirmishing potential, so be careful as he can do a surprising amount of damage, as well as sustain himself. You may want to consider investing in Grievous Wounds to counter his sustainability. ”

Teemain says “If you're a good Garen player, you know you HAVE to kill Darius at least 2-3 times before you really gain an advantage. His Q has a rather short range if he misses his E grab. Try to bait out his Q and then go in. Make sure you get CLOSE and PERSONAL, since his Q does the most damage the farther away from the center of Darius's avatar. His W is annoying because it slows, so when he pulls out his W+E+Q combo, charge right into him with Q+E+W with Ignite to maximize your damage and minimize his. This will make you win the damage trades. Unfortunately, Darius will still be a HUGE threat even if you win your lane. So try to kill him like 8 times throughout the game, or just push their Top Inhibitor, and then force out Darius 1 on 1 by looking at the mini map. Or just try to kill him first every time during the teamfights. Your mission is to keep Darius from farming and killing Champions at all times before he gets stronger than you.”

ModxLoL says “Similar to Tryndamere. Riven wins if she doesn't make any big mistakes. There are a few things to watch out for in the Darius matchup. One is obviously the outside of his q. Luckily it's pretty easy for Riven to juke it with her Q or E. The second thing is be careful of getting pulled back in after you do your combo. You want to make sure you short trade with him and leave while he is stunned. If you stay too long, you're going to get pulled back and he will hit you really hard on your way back to the turret. The other thing to keep in mind is that most Darius players run Nimbus Cloak with Ghost, so you really have to be careful about trading in the early levels when you don't have CDR. If you use too many abilities and you can't get out, he will instantly ghost and run you down all the way to your turret. ”

Stiwy says “Darius is strong and he will be sure you remember it by constantly bullying you. Press the attack is a good choice against him, since he can outdamage you in long trades. If you can keep dodging his E grab and have a decent farm you should be good. You can start trading at level 9 when your W is maxed but its still risky. Keep your ult for when the jungler decides to come. Tabis are vital here and bramble vest is too. And please, ask a gank only when both you and jungler are healty or else he will get a double kill and then, you will need much more than a gank to stop this angry boy ”

Kingarthur720 says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash OR Ghost + Flash. Dorans Shield start. Darius has very strong all in trades and his passive when stacked 5 times (stacks every auto attack and when he hits his q on the outer edge and his ultimate) gives him a lot of attack damage and does damage over time to you. Darius can use multiple keystones, starting items, and starting abilities. Darius with Q start is strong for early clear to get level 2 first, Darius with W start will look to take trades with you when you walk up for minions. Biggest thing to pay attention is they keystone + summoner spells. Ghost+Flash darius with conqueror has extremely good all in and if you are caught too far in the lane with a pull he can usually burn your summoners and then kill you as well. If this darius pulls you at a bad time for you, your best hope is to turn on him and all in and pray for crits. TP + Flash Darius with aftershock can be abused early if you take ignite, whether he starts q or w is irrelevant because your allin can be stronger then his so look to build fury and get level 2 first and all in him. Ignite + Flash darius with conqueror you basically just let him push you in and only farm don't trade. This is the strongest early game setup on darius to punish early but it falls off later since he can't kite you as well without ghost. The darius matchup in general is a lot about punishing cooldowns on his q and finding spots to take short trades with an auto attack + spin out without being forced into an all in by being pulled. Tryndamere does outscale this matchup in the mid-late game 1v1, but can be hard to dive him 100-0 so if you find yourself in that situation where he is just sitting under turret, then push him in and look for opportunities to outrotate him with your superior out of combat mobility and flank his team.”

Mohid97 says “Darius is a weird one, in most cases he can absolutely dunk you out of lane, but in some cases as he is an engage heavy champ you can use it to your advantage use E to cover distance and try always to come into him rather than go away from him as your E is short then use your Q to start kiting him while moving away. ”

Tankgot by Mohid97 | Urgot Player

Dantheman81 says “From my experience there are some ways to stop the dunkmaster. Darius will almost always play aggressive early, you can take advantage of this by having a strong early jungler presence, or playing passive until you get enough Ghouls to poke him with. If he manages to get all of his stacks onto you do not fight anymore otherwise you will die and not have a fun time. The new thornmail is a wonderful pickup against him as well.”

If he takes ghost, he will still be able to catch up after your Q so you'll have to play even safer.”

I always have a fun when they "counter" my pick with him because it's almost certain win(got 94% winrate against Darius). You can even fight him while his all passive stacks are on you, just don't get kited. Just remember these things below and it's guaranteed win. Take ignite, as he mostly get's ghost and it makes your win secured Always buy doran blade try to trap him in the bushes lvl 1, aa+e when he comes, if he contest the fight he may end up dead, otherwise lose half hp. Don't use E and W(he can heal from it) until he uses Q, almost always(not if he has wave advantage) punish him when he does it so you deny his dmg and heal and force all in or bad trade for him. Later on you get's ranged Q so just poke him and all in with ult. He may kill you if you are not paying attention but it's rare, just don't get caught without ult.”

SirDrPotato says “Darius has a very strong laning phase and is way easier to play than fiora, this means that is very hard for him to make mistakes and it's entirely up to you to pull out (wink) some good stuff: I strongly advise to NOT riposte his Q or W. (Q is the ability where he spins and W is an empowered hit). Riposting one of these often means he'll just grab you after and kill you. If you REALLY need to riposte Q or W make sure you try to dodge his grab with your lunge right after your riposte ends. Riposting his ultimate is also a pretty good option. More details down below.”

Subject3 says “winning and losing against darius is a sweet thin line you can somewhat out trade him at lvl 1-5 but after lvl 6 expect some high retaliation. and if somehow darius gets a few kills under his belt and is leading with gold, his bleed will be too much for you to handle especially once he finishes black cleaver. best strategy? save your swallow until he uses his q, once you swallow him the q will still go off but he will be in your stomach which means the cleaving end wont hit.”

Echostyle says “Summary - PTA FOR DAMAGE, GLACIAL FOR KITING(YOUR CHOICE). MAINTAIN AA DISTANCE, PLAY AGGRESSIVE EARLY LEVELS, PLAY CLOSE TO WALLS, DODGE HIS Q, TRY TO KEEP WAVE MIDDLE OF LANE, KEEP WATCH FOR ENEMY JUNGLER. Despite the fact most Darius players run Ghost and that Darius's kit seems like it would fuck up your kiting, it's actually very easy to kite and disengage from him as a Vayne. The goal of this matchup is constantly keeping full AA range against a Darius as his pull range is 535 while your AA range is 550. When his pull is down is when you want to go aggressive and try to apply damage on him. Levels 1, you want to just last hit minions and poke darius when he goes for it, or push slightly, then get it to slow push to you(if he started pull for whatever reason and pulls you in, immediately try to disengage and back off and just last hit). Levels 2 you might still be able to keep this up depending on what he takes next, but levels 3 and on you need to be especially focused on keeping distance from him because if he pulls you in and you don't have condemn up, you are fucked. In the case that he does pull you in, just try to tumble away as fast as possible. If he uses Q after his pull, condemn him away as fast as possible. In this matchup, its preferable to try to keep the lane in the middle or on your side so you have an easier time poking him down or even killing him. However its still okay to push him into his tower. If he has both ghost and phase rush however, you should play the lane closer to your tower or he'll be able to just flash on you, pop ghost and use his whole combo while getting movement speeds much higher than you can kite out even with using condemn.”

Auntbetsie says “The same with Garen he can sit in between the waves to apply pressure and you have to sit back and farm under turret.

Circas says “This lane kinda sucks. It is very winnable BUT you need to play it perfectly. You only win if you get 5 stacks and hit all your abilities and you need to be careful not to get pulled out of your Q or you instantly lose. You stack your passive faster than Darius obviously so use that to your advantage. You do not take short trades with Darius when you go in you are committed and you cannot half-ass it. A good Darius will know that he can abuse you level 1 and he will most likely try to cheese you in tri bush (if you leashed red side) or he will sit in top lane bush and wait for you to walk up to the wave and try to cheese you with his Crippling Strike (W) and slow you and just out auto you. Start with your Flawless Duet (E) and wait till you are level 3 or 4 to go in on him. Build up stacks near turret because if they wave is past river towards him you CANNOT fight him. You need stacks and you need a lot of lane room to run him down when you go in. Darius will kill you if you miss something. Can be outplayed but it is hard.”

Wolfychu says “Most people find difficult to play against Darius but you can win by not being hit by his Q and by trading a lot with him using the Q W auto attack Q auto attack combo and after doing it going out using EQ to bait Darius E.

Dejuronto says “Darius early game is also one to worry about deeply. If you miss your skillshots, you're heavily vulnerable to his pull and passive. If he has ghost, Darius can make you miss some skillshots even more when he runs after you or running away FROM you. Your best option is to find a safe distance from him and try to threaten him with your passive. If he misses any of his skillshots, you can most likely find that weakpoint and try to win a trade.”

AkenoSenpai says “This match up can be tricky as it can easly turn into a hard match up if not played correctly, due to darius being a champion that punishes mistakes very heavly. Let the wave push into u, in this match up especially you might want to give up cs, u really do need to keep ur hp. Once you start slowpushing, and Darius gets to close feel free to all in him (lvl 3 or higher). The way to fight darius is as followed: E -> Q -> orbwalk. Keep your second Q for his own Q. Jumping to him once he starts Q animation, cancels his Q dmg as well as his healing and a stack for his passive, which is very important.”

Fique atento no lvl 2 do Darius, coloque sempre 1 barril atrás de você, se o jogador de Darius for esperto, ele upou o E, tente desviar do puxão, se você conseguir, poderá agressivar e provavelmente o matará. Recomendo comprar 1 doran blade na primeira volta, se o time inimigo tiver outros campeões com curas ou roubo de vida, compre 1 carrasco. Nessa matchup, também séria interessante trocar a sterak por dançarina fantasma, a velocidade de movimento da dançarina deixará sua vida mais facil, além de aumentar sua chance de crítico.”

TrollingSmurfGr says “Representative of the typical BIG JUGGERNAUT TOP, Darius has huge damage when you get caught. This is an example of someone you should probably take Aftershock for. For Darius specifically, use Flay (E) to push him towards you, pulling yourself inside of the Q circle. Pushing him away from you takes too long, and he's likely moving away from you already, perfectly landing you in the outer circle. If you die once, don't try anything funny again, or it won't just be once.”

Thr3shPrinc3 says “( NB!!! READ THE "MATCHUPS" SECTION OF THE GUIDE CHAPTER! ) This is normally a lane you can't win. Darius can out bully you early and has more sustain in fights even if you play Fleet Footwork. If you do play vs him in lane always try and flay him TOWARDS you when he Q's. You should be able to catch him off-guard the first couple of times and deny his healing (and a lot of damage) , but it won't keep working. Flaying him away from you takes too long and you will only end up eating his axe. Just try and poke him out and farm up as best as possible. Killing him isn't impossible, but it requires HIM to make a mistake close to your turret. Just be sure to capitalize on the mistake if he does. ”

Darkseige555 says “Darius is ban worthy while playing poppy. This monster will make you give up lane as soon as he has level 3. Never go past the river against him, especially if he goes ghost or ignite. I personally ban him every game, but if you prefer to ban someone else and have the bad luck to face him, you can build a early bramble vest to punish him and get greavous wounds. Sunfire cape is also a good option. The real challenge is to not die in laning phase: it takes a lot of discipline and do not get cocky if he is playing more passive than usually because he is most likely baiting you. If you do survive laning phase, It become much better in the teamfights because he won't be able to destroy you anymore, but I suggest going for a more support build to let others carry for you since you will be short on gold after that rough laning phase.”

Daedralus says “This guy is gonna be a pain. DO NOT FIGHT HIM EARLY. He can destroy you with his passive burn. Look towards baiting him under tower. His passive is very likely to get tower aggro. If he is under your tower, and you have less than 4 stacks, ult him once he is around half HP, and make sure to dodge him until then. If you can Q then ult, its even better. This way, your tower should deal with him along with your, while granting your full HP back, and preventing him from having enough stacks to even do a fair amount of damage with his ult. With an additional fear prepped, the kill should be easy, but only with the towers help of course as this will give around 4 shots guaranteed at him. Other than, avoid fights unless you get really fed and can one-shot him before he can stack enough. It is very possible that you can =)”

Use q to activate passive when he uses decimate. You will take no damage and he will push lane. Use your taunt to disengage when he uses apprehend on you. Focus on buying early health, His true damage and armor penetration greatly reduces the effectiveness of armor”

That along with the fact that you're ranged means that if you don't push your luck it should be a really chill farm-based lane; something that Darius never wants.”

ExfIamed says “Now this can go either way, Garen has the early game advantage and does outscale Darius, but if you overstep or make one mistake it's all over from that point unless he makes a mistake. You wanna bait him into pulling you and then you E as hes pulling you, Q cleanse the slow and stay on him to avoid his Q heal, if you get hit by his Q heal you instantly lose the trade and more than likely just killed yourself. But you keep doing that, hit 6 and pull the uno reverse card and DUNK HIS ass.”

Keep distance from him because he can pull you with his E. If he Q, stay close to him and use W to run away or stay out of it range, E him if he near the wall then Q him. Try to buy the ninja tabi as soon as possible because it can reduce the damage from his W a lot.”

Noc7urnalz says “Not THAT much of a difference between aatrox and him. In the early game after reaching level 3 you can really go for really good trades vs him. Save your W For when he Q's you during the trade. Can be pretty hard to come back if you fall behind but vs Darius you can also go pretty safe if you feel like it. He has the advantage vs in the the mid game , but you win early/late.”

Nocturne /Bruiser/ Top by Noc7urnalz | Nocturne Player

LuxIsMyCrush says “Darius can be a pretty hard match-up to farm in, but as long as you play safe and accept you will lose some cs you will win the lane, usually leave him to push you and farm under turret, while poke him with Q every ocassion. Also rush luden's echo as it will increase your poke and give a lot of sustain (do lost chapter first if possible), after your luden is done you should be able to Q him to death, be always ready for a flash auto q ignite play to finish him if he do a mistake. ALWAYS TRY TO KEEP DISTANCE OF HIM, if you try to use bascis for trade there is a high chance that he will be able to grab you with his E and then do his combo on you, that is why i recommand you to poke only with Q, also you can use W to chase or disenage him, but there is again a small chance that he will be able to play around any extended poke.”

Defensivity1 says “Darius, a huge threath before level 6, always let him push you in under tower and give up all cs necessary to not get in to a trade with him, against darius the conqueror page is recommanded at level 6 you can look for an all in on him with your maiden, and if the opportunity arises poke him down with your ghouls during laning phase, tell your jungeler to not gank you before 6 as you cant 2v1 him before 6 and he can heal off of both of you with his q, turning the lane in to a blood bath for the rest of the game.”

Quezel says “Heavy skill matchup play early game VERY safe try to farm with q at max range without pushing the wave and ideally poke him while you farm after 6 and seekers you can start winning fights unless darius stacks MR make sure you don't give him q heals or its significantly harder to win try to stand on top of him to make this easier although a good darius will be able to use e and w to guarantee a q your shield completely nullifies his level 1 ult but after level 11 it becomes much harder to 1v1 him without a lead if you fall behind this lane becomes impossible so try to be as cautious as you can.”

ProgettoYorick says “Everyone is afraid of darius, his passive is DEVASTANT, hit him every now and then with the usual "combo". During level 6 you will make the difference. Advice from OTP: Give priority to the Ninja tabbi, they will help you a lot during the lane phase, try to block it with the E, closing it with the W. During that phase try to hit it with the Q and moving away a little so as not to make them recover their lives thanks to its Q.”

Xelaadryth says “Auto-attack kite from outside his Q range if possible, and force him to last-hit with Q to avoid taking harass. Your auto range is only slightly better than his pull range, so if you have low ping you can cancel your auto if he moves forward. Don't be too afraid though; if you get pulled in by his Apprehend, save your E since you'll get hit by his slow. Point-blank him with a Q auto, and as soon as the slow wears off tag him with an E and you're out. W at any point during the trade, and once you're out of range, follow up with repeated auto-attacks; his gap-close is gone. Just don't get tipper'ed by his Q or the bleed will really hurt.”

AlienMV says “Watch for his E range. Do not overpush his lane if he has Ghost. Getting grabbed by Darius is basically a death sentence. However, it makes it very predictable what he wants to do, so just stay out of his E range and you'll be fine. The lane will begin reversing in your favor once you get range at lvl 6. Be wary if he has Ghost. If you are overpushed, he can simply run you over with Ghost and no amount of slows and speed ups from Q/W will save you.”

Lasoor says “[Top] Yorick and Darius are very closely matched. Yorick is considered a counter to Darius, however that doesn't make the match up easy. It is actually one of the hardest match ups Yorick gets in top lane, despite his advantage, because of how Darius players build and how a Darius main plays. Once Darius gets a grip on you all you can hope to do is run before you are killed. You can't out trade him at melee range, you will lose especially if Darius has his ultimate. The way to counter Darius is to kite him and push him out of lane with your mist, maiden, and ghouls. Once he is low enough you can look for opportunities to trap him and finish him off. Always go in-and-out with your Q to burst him down, never sit there auto attackin him. You win if he can't build enough stacks on you. Keep in mind rushing high health items in ideal for this match up as Darius does a lot of true damage.”
