Tips Against Darius in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Azzin says “This matchup is really "skilled", you can both kill each other, but he tends to outscale you if you go for standard builds, i'd recommend going some HP stacking type of build, it'll make his R way less threathning.”
saikoujya says “You can win lvl 1-2 if you don't get hit with stacks unnecessarily. Use your E to get inside his Q and dodge the outer edges. After BotRK it's easy.”
asuratop1 says “Ritmo fatal + Lâmina de Doran/Escudo de Doran (Lâmina se estiver confiante/usando ignite) Ignite ou Tp são ambos bons, mas você precisa ter flash. A lane é minimamente favorável pro Darius, mas ainda sim é skill matchup. 55/45 pro Darius, podemos dizer. Se o Darius acertar os Q, você perde, se ele errar, você ganha. Sabendo disso, vão envolver fatores de spacing/estrategia, por exemplo, Se ele der o Q sem gastar o E pra garantir o acerto do Q, você pode simplesmente dar o Q e comprar uma luta, caso você não consiga desviar somente andando. O Push é muito sobre o comportamento de ambos lvl1, se você estiver de Grasp nessa lane por algum motivo, o push provavelmente vai ser do Darius, caso esteja de Ritmo Fatal, não tenha medo dele, apenas desvie do Q dele e continue batendo na wave, mantendo sua passiva stackada e garantindo o lvl 2. A melhor build pra enfrentar o Darius no mid game é Trindade > Quebrapassos > Céu > Sterak (bota de cdr) o All-win do darius é forte de fato, mas você não fica pra trás, principalmente se tiver ignite. Não tome o Q dele e nem vai ver ele stackar a passiva pra ultar você, as lutas dessa matchup giram 90% em torno do Q do Darius.”
zwartebliksem says “The upside about facing Darius is that it is a complete skill matchup. Darius players usually take Flash + Ghost into lane, which means you are bound to die every time it's up. Make sure to save your ult for when he does, since it will make him use both summs. Your Q range is longer than his E pull, so you could zone him hard. If you're not able to zone him properly, it's going to be an extremely hard matchup.”

ExiledRain says “Power level: You can Beat him early, its gonna depend on him.You can snowball for 15 minutes of the game and its gonna get a bit harder and his passive with R might kick in but if all done right you lead should stay till end of game. Game plan: You have to check what he got lvl1 to see how would go, if he starts W then poke him and dont get hit by his W or he will run you down lvl 1, if he Started Q(Spinning skill) Then you can run him down or fight out of the wave just stay in inner circle of his spinning Q skill.You would have to chip him slowly down with short trades and then all in when hes low enough.Make you Q delay as much as you can and not end up Q3 near him thats his que to go in on you.This is mostly a skill matchup till one side gets a lead and snowballs it out controll.One more thing is phising for E wheres you have to trick him to use his E and then punish him if he misses or try to Q/E into inner range of his follownig Q to minimize his effort. Tips: His outer range Q heals him by a lot so try staying close into him while he uses his Q His W slows you by a lot so this good for him. If he last hits CS with it then its off cooldown instantly, but if CS didn't die then his W on CD and you have an opportunity to go in.So you can fish for it but this wont be a reliable source.On lvl 1-2 if you endup near wihtout cooldowns and he uses W on you...you kinda dead. E is pull which skill you must fish for.There are few tricks to it, you go on max range and stay, then step forward and as his animation starts changing you can E away.In close proximity you can try using E/Q trough him or Up/Down from your location to avoid being hit by this ability. Keep a sharp eye on your cooldowns and location, as if he spots you nearby without cd's he can just run you down and thats how many Rivens die. Itemization: You can go regular build, you can do Black cleaver rush as extra mobility and hp would help you out, but having an early Cleaver makes Eclipse as bad 2nd-3rd option and you better of going into DD 2nd or Sundered. Also sundered rush into Profane Hydra.”

xumi_k says “Bad Irelia loses to bad Darius. Good Irelia wins good Darius. You just need some experience with this matchup and be bold with strategy. I don't like this matchup, as it's a lot harder without ignite (I like playing top with TP, but Ignite makes this matchup much easier). Don't die early. Let him push you under tower. Let him crash wave 2. Don't forget to CS. Get lvl 3 first or ~same time. Engage first with stacked passive. He can use jungle camps to Q on them and heal. He can heal only if edge of his Q (spinning) touches a jungle monster or a champion. He CANNOT heal from a minion wave. If you see his Q, Q into him - it will deal less damage and won't heal him. I think I abused word "heal" too much... Don’t let him get 5 stacks (each of his attack/ability gives 1 stack). You will die if you won’t escape with 5 stacks. You both want long trades - but he’s better in it. He can recast R if it kills a target. R does a lot of true damage. So don't let your jungler gank if you're low hp and Darius is not unless you want to give him a free doublekill. One of you will die level 2-5. If you are not really experienced, just don't die too much early and keep your CS ok. Also, if your jungler is weak early, he shouldn't start top side if you're vs Darius, Trundle or any other strong early game champ - he can 1v2 both of you. Rare scenario, but keep that in mind. You outscale him midgame if not dying. Dariuses don't like to roam. Mind buying Bramble first if you have no ignite. Even so, all-in him only if you have everything up+stacked passive. You won't probably kill him without R. --- P.S. There is a little trick against Darius: 99% they will zone you away from first 3 melees. Hide in the alcove, ward the middle bush, and once you see him going to the sidebush, wait until you can Q all 3 minions and then Q into him. With your full passive you can POTENTIALLY kill him lvl 1 if abuse his shorter AA range. Do it at your own risk tho, but it often works if you do it right. SAFER option is to wait until he starts farming, move to your tower from alcove. You will gain exp from melees and he won't be able to run you down like that.”

Dragonlord1022 says “Take either rune page Sword start -> Refillable -> Swifties (or Plated) -> Tri Darius players understand one thing and one thing only. How to kill their opponent in lane. https://youtu.be/VPOMkKVf18w?si=Bqpf0hJTQ3S6slCe&t=318 This is one of those lanes where taking e level 1 can be good. If he gets an aa on you near the wave at level 1 and you're able to e out: you can trade even, chasing him down a bit and get the wave shoving into you. Don't try to get Grasp procs early unless he's used his q or e, your aa range for the first few levels is low enough that he can e or q you if you try to auto him. Darius always wants to run you down. Play for the wave. If you're able to play the wave well, he won't get his windows to run you down and you will win lane or go even. You out scale but he will always have kill pressure on side if you mess up.”

forsakn says “ Levels 1–5: Darius’ early all-ins are very strong with Q (Decimate) + E (Apprehend). Don’t overextend, and short trades are risky—he can snowball if you give him early kills. Wave control: He pushes naturally with Q. Let him push and focus on farming safely under tower. Trading: Auto + E poke works, but avoid extended trades when he has stacks of his passive. Only trade when his abilities are down. Post-6: His R (Noxian Guillotine) can execute low-health targets. Maintain spacing and avoid all-ins when behind. Summoner Spells: Flash + Teleport is standard. Ghost is highly recommended against his all-in potential. Scaling: You outscale Darius mid-late game. Survive early, farm safely, and once you hit your core items, trades are in your favor. Darius top is dangerous early with strong all-ins. Respect his cooldowns, farm safely, and scale—by midgame, you outclass him.”
CulturalYokai says “just poke and kill pre 6, grievous wound needed, avoid bleeding and use W wisely, should be an easy matchup”

Hoikatop says “PHASE RUSH ONLY! GHOST+FLASH IS MANDATORY NEVER APPROACH DARIUS LEVEL 1. Never approach Darius without phase rush available. Never approach Darius without Fling available. Follow these rules and rush Rylais. If you somehow get ahead, you can go Liandrys instead. He can EASILY run you down and kill you if you slip up even a little. Scale for 5v5 where you are stronger than him. ”
