Darius Guide

Tips for Playing Against Darius

-Don't get cheesed level 1. Sometimes you can grasp Q trade him if you have minions or tower to back you up, but be careful.
-Level 2 and 3 are huge spikes for Darius, and when he has E up he can pull you as soon as you try to W away.
-If you're gonna W away while he has E up, stun him first. Take note though that if he has tenacity he can probably pull you before your W goes off.
-Use your ult to avoid his Q or to wait out his bleed. You can also wait out his bleed and then W back onto him in some situations.
-You can spit him into tower even with minions crashing if he has bleed on you, and the tower will aggro him.

Swiftness Boots

Swifties helps for dodging his Q, staying out of range of his E, and just overall making sure he can't keep up to full stack bleed.
Oblivion Orb

I prefer Orb over Bramble, especially considering Darius has a lot of true damage. Honestly though with swifties you can probably forego anti-heal even.
Heartsteel

Heartsteel is great because you can keep range from him. Sometimes you can even get away with a max range Q, walk a little, and W away before he can reach you if he doesn't have flash or ghost. Also just a great first item in general.
